Nick Daelemans co-owner at KLEIR shares his clever use of the Sendcloud API
Last updated:

Handling returns is an inefficient process that can require a lot of resources and waste time. The Sendcloud return portal has been created to provide clients with a flexible returns experience, while the merchant remains in control of the entire process. What's more, we provide extensive API documentation that enables customisation that will increase the speed and efficiency of your business processes. Get inspired by KLEIR’s open-source solution The Label Generator built on the Sendcloud API. This is a custom implementation and not our standard returns processes.

Rethinking the returns process
When it comes to reverse logistics, it’s all a matter of approach; you need to answer what exactly does your business need as you grow? Perhaps clear returns policies or, as in the case of KLEIR, a time-saving solution. The end goal for KLEIR was to make the returns process as simple as possible to reduce the time spent on creating returns; by using the Sendcloud API they were able to do just that. How did you use the Sendcloud API to streamline the returns process?

"To speed up the returns process, I created a small application that creates a label in Sendcloud using the API, and downloads it automatically"
