returns and complaints

Returns & Complaints forConfigured Products

Returns and complaints become more complex when every product can have a unique combination of options, dimensions, materials, features, and components. TRIMIT helps you manage these cases while maintaining a clear connection to the exact configuration originally ordered by the customer.

Keep Every Case Connected to the Original Configuration

TRIMIT Returns, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, supports returns and complaints for configured-to-order and customer-specific products.

Users can create a case directly from the original sales order or shipment. The case remains connected to the customer, configured product, quantities, prices, selected options, dimensions, specifications, and components.

This gives customer service and other teams the information they need to understand exactly what was ordered, what was delivered, and which part of the configuration is affected.

Clear statuses and approval processes provide visibility throughout the case—from the initial request and technical assessment to receipt, replacement, repair, reconfiguration, or credit.

Resolve Issues Without Replacing the Complete Product

A complaint involving a configured product does not necessarily mean that the complete product must be returned. The issue may be limited to a specific option, component, dimension, material, feature, or technical specification.

Depending on the case, TRIMIT supports replacement products, replacement components, repairs, reconfiguration, service activities, credit notes, and returns to suppliers.

All relevant information can be managed as part of the same case, including order and invoice references, the original configuration, affected components, documentation, customer communication, and the agreed resolution.

Self-Service with TRIMIT E-commerce

Through TRIMIT E-commerce, B2B customers and sales agents can register returns and complaints using a convenient self-service interface.

By referencing the original order, users can identify the configured product, select the affected product or component, enter quantities and reason codes, describe the issue, and submit the case for review.

Photos, technical documents, and other supporting files can be added to document damaged components, incorrect specifications, missing parts, configuration mismatches, or quality issues.

Customers and sales agents can follow the progress of the case and access relevant updates and documentation. This creates a transparent customer experience—even when the product configuration and resolution process are complex.
