Descartes Peoplevox Integration
OVERVIEW
Peoplevox is a UK and AU Warehouse Management System (WMS) platform that merchants use to manage their warehouse operations. Loop’s two-way integration with Peoplevox allows merchants to:
Automatically create an RMA in Peoplevox when a return is submitted in Loop.
Automatically process, flag, or close the return in Loop when the item is processed in Peoplevox.
Pull in item grading and disposition data from Peoplevox into Loop.
Learn more about Loop Item Grading and Dispositioning.
How it Works
When a return is created in Loop, the return information is passed to PeopleVox, allowing merchants to manage returns primarily in PeopleVox without needing to log into Loop separately. The process works as follows:
A customer submits a return request in Loop.
This return, known as an RMA, is sent from Loop to PeopleVox.
The warehouse operator scans the returned item and updates the return status in PeopleVox (completed, completed with discrepancies, etc.). This update is then sent back to Loop.
Based on the customer’s preference, Loop notifies Shopify to either issue a refund or create a new exchange order.
If any discrepancies occur, the integration flags them in Loop and holds the return for manual review on the Loop dashboard.
Note: Canceled returns in PeopleVox must be manually processed or canceled in Loop.
Important: Each product SKU must be unique in PeopleVox. To avoid issues, product SKUs should match across Loop, PeopleVox, and Shopify.
