Returns Automation Testimonial: Sadler Power Train

by | Oct 17, 2024 | Product Videos, Videos

First Hand Experiences with Elite EXRA’s Returns Management Software

Elite EXTRA’s Returns Automation software is revolutionizing returns operations across a number of last-mile industries. But, rather than just hearing this from us, we instead sat down with one of our power users, Sadler Power Train, to share their Returns Automation testimonial.

Suffice to say, they were happy to share their enthusiasm for how powerful the solution really is.

In this Returns Automation testimonial, we asked:

  • What did you returns operations look like before Returns Automation
  • How have your returns operations changed after Returns Automation
  • How has the solution improved your customers’ returns experience
  • Where do you see return on investment in Returns Automation

Testimonial Highlights

Tanner Unkel summarized his thoughts about Returns Automation perfectly when he said:

“It makes my job 100% easier. It cuts time in half.”
