Our take
ZigZag Global provides retailers with a branded returns management portal, allowing them to quickly build customer friendly returns solutions without having to invest heavily in in-house engineering.
Today, around 15% of items are returned by customers across physical retail and e-commerce. Indeed, around 40% of all e-commerce-purchased products are sent back. This creates pressure for retailers to manage the reverse logistics efficiently to maintain customer loyalty, as well as to maximise the value of their goods through restocking.
ZigZag Global has built out an impressive customer list since its 2015 foundation, serving the likes of Dorothy Perkins, Oakley, and Selfridges & Co. However, after being acquired by NYSE-listed tax free shopping leaders Global Blue and given access to its merchant network, another period of rapid growth looks likely.
