The reason is somewhere in the system. The agent finds it.

Return, service request, supplier spreadsheet or store report: the agents read merchandise management, ticketing system, product information management (PIM), POS and other systems together and submit a draft, correction or report for approval.

The jacket mostly comes back because of size: 1,140 returns, mainly with return code 03 “too small” [1]. Since September 1, 212 tickets say the same thing: it runs small [2]. The PIM still holds the size chart from the previous season, FW25 [3]. The FW26 specification lists 2 cm less chest width per size [4]. The change proposal is in the PIM as a draft.

The draft to supplier 30882 is in Outlook: FW26 measurement chart against FW25, with the 212 tickets as evidence [1]. Whether this leads to rework or a credit note is for your purchasing team to settle with the supplier.

Example · A change proposal with sources

The agent pieces together the return reason. From service, warehouse, product data and purchasing.

The case from the chat above, as a document: customer service, the returns warehouse, product data and purchasing each have a clue about the Lina down jacket. The Retourenmanagement Agent puts all four into one change proposal, every statement with its source.

Beyond returns, too

Agents for assortment, pricing, stores and suppliers, too. The numbers are on the table before every meeting.

Sell-through, margin, competitor prices and on-time delivery sit ready in systems such as merchandise management, POS or purchasing. Agents bring them together before category management, pricing and store management decide.

What the agent sees and what it doesn't

Tickets contain customer data. They are never used for training.

The Retourenmanagement Agent reads return reasons, tickets and product data; it has no access to payment data or customer accounts.

DeploymentEU or on-premisesTickets, returns data and product data stay in EU data centers or in your own infrastructure, your choice.
TrainingExcludedCustomer data from service and returns, purchasing terms and sales figures are never used to train language models.
PermissionsPer agent and roleTools, data rooms and recipients are defined per agent; every company and every sales channel works in its own tenant.
LogCompleteEvery access to tickets and product data is logged traceably, including for your data protection team.

The ISO 27001 certificate, the data processing agreement (DPA) and the technical and organizational measures (TOMs) are in the Trust Center.

Shop, PIM and merchandise management stay

The correction lands in the PIM. After your OK.

Reading happens from merchandise management, ticket system and SharePoint, for example; writing to the PIM only happens after product data management gives its OK. There are ready-made connectors for Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, SQL databases and more; we connect PIM, ticket system, shop and your own systems via API and MCP as an additional service.

Data from Merchandise management, PIM, Ticketing system, SharePoint, Outlook etc. flows through neuland.ai HUB to PIM, Outlook, Microsoft Teams etc.

What IT and compliance ask first

Six answers before you start. Read with your permissions, checked against your documents.

  • Yes. If item and stock data sit in an SQL database, the ready-made SQL connector is often enough; we address PIM, ticketing system and your own systems via API and MCP. Reading happens with the permissions of each role; every write action waits for a human OK.

Name the item with the most returns. We'll show you where the reason is.

Ideally with your own returns data: tickets, return codes and product data for one item then come together in one picture.

After your request

  1. 01You name an item and the systems that hold its returns
  2. 02We show the Retourenmanagement Agent on an item like yours
  3. 03We clarify which interface connects PIM and ticketing system
