Frequently Asked Questions

General

  • Freeing Returns is an AI-powered loss-prevention and revenue-recovery platform designed to uncover hidden operational losses inside your business. It identifies missed credits, vendor errors, inventory inefficiencies, fraud patterns, and other sources of preventable revenue leakage.

  • We support organizations ranging from Fortune 1000 to Fortune 50, including leaders in loss prevention, procurement, and operations who want to recover lost revenue and prevent hidden inefficiencies.

  • Total Retail Loss (TRL) is a comprehensive framework that identifies all forms of value loss within a retail business—not just theft or shrink. TRL accounts for every preventable loss across the operation, including:

    • Pricing errors

    • Vendor discrepancies

    • Damaged or defective merchandise

    • Return fraud and abuse

    • Inventory inaccuracies

    • Operational inefficiencies

    • Missed credits or refunds

    Traditional loss prevention models typically focus on theft, but TRL highlights the broader picture: small process failures and unnoticed discrepancies can quietly cost retailers millions. By analyzing the entire retail ecosystem, TRL helps businesses understand where hidden losses occur and how to reclaim or prevent them.

  • Vendor Credits Assessment and Recovery is the process of identifying and reclaiming money owed to your business by manufacturers, distributors, or suppliers. These credits often go unnoticed or unclaimed because they’re buried within complex purchasing, shipping, and returns workflows.

    Credits may be owed for issues such as:

    • Damaged or defective products

    • Short shipments or overbilling

    • Warranty reimbursements

    • Late deliveries or service failures

    • Promotional allowances that were never applied

    Freeing Returns uses AI to scan transactions, invoices, purchase orders, and return data to identify missed credits automatically. Instead of manually tracking down reimbursements, the platform surfaces discrepancies instantly and helps businesses recover lost funds—often amounting to significant, previously hidden revenue.

  • Small losses—$50 here, $100 there—quietly add up to millions in lost revenue. Freeing Returns uncovers these buried losses and recovers revenue you’ve already earned but haven’t collected.
