What it does

The short version.

01

Score before shipping

Every validated order is scored from 0 to 100 and rated Low / Medium / High, right on the order page.

02

Automatic logistics alert

An email goes out to your team as soon as an order crosses the high-risk threshold, before the parcel is prepared.

03

Transparent engine

Six explainable factors: customer return history, size bracketing, basket value, risky categories, new customer, basket size.

04

Optional AI layer

Refine the score with a Mistral model. If the AI fails, the heuristic score takes over and never blocks shipping.

The long version

Everything you'd want to know before you install.

A detailed look at how AI Returns Predictor works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.

§ 01

Why anticipate returns?

Product returns weigh heavily on margins: round-trip shipping, restocking, unsellable items. Most shops only spot a risky return once the parcel has already left. AI Returns Predictor moves that detection upstream, to order validation, giving you time to act.

§ 02

An explainable score, not a black box

The engine combines six well-known e-commerce signals: the customer's historical return rate, bracketing (the same product ordered in several sizes), basket value relative to the average basket, the presence of products in high-return categories, new-customer status and basket size. Each factor shows its point contribution, right on the order page.

§ 03

A logistics alert at the right moment

As soon as an order crosses your high-risk threshold, a summary email is sent to the logistics address of your choice: order reference, score and contributing factors. Your team can verify the address, confirm the size or contact the customer before shipping.

§ 04

AI as reinforcement, never an obstacle

Enable the Mistral layer to refine the heuristic score and get a one-sentence explanation. On any network error or API outage, the module silently falls back to the heuristic score: scoring never blocks order preparation.
