Unicommerce, one of India’s leading e-commerce enablement software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms, has announced the launch of its new product UniReco, which is designed to help brands and retailers automate the reconciliation of their payments and returns across multiple marketplaces. UniReco handles return payments by accounting for return logistics costs and any other expenses agreed upon between the seller and the marketplace.
As businesses expand their presence on multiple platforms, managing and reconciling payment for every order can become a challenging task. UniReco uses an algorithm to match orders, payments, and returns across multiple marketplaces and provides businesses with a real-time view of their reconciliation status, so they can identify and resolve any discrepancies.
Additionally, UniReco offers updated & detailed reports of real-time costs and earnings, which is an essential planning prerequisite for sellers as it enables them to efficiently manage their working capital.
E-commerce sales are no longer about listing, servicing orders and receiving payments after the deduction of marketplace commission. Modern e-commerce has multiple factors like discount offers, discounts of extra units purchased, buybacks, bundled offers, shipping costs, third-party logistics fees, and buy now pay later,- all of which increase the complexity around the final amounts that sellers are to receive and the timelines when various payments become due.
Payments of return orders further complicate the process for the finance team of the sellers. UniReco comes equipped with intelligent features, including pre-calculation of channel fees, automatic payment reminders, tracking of order-wise settlement, and providing transactional reports at multiple levels.
UniReco allows brands & retailers to get a summary of each transaction, ensuring clear visibility of charges, disputed payments, and expected revenue. This feature ensures that brands & retailers have order-wise revenue visibility, which helps them contest any erroneous or incorrect charges and also get a better sense of unit profitability by understanding how different products are contributing to company revenue
At the launch of the product, Kapil Makhija, CEO of Unicommerce said, “UniReco is a significant step forward in our commitment to providing comprehensive post-purchase management solutions. Working with thousands of brands allows us to understand the challenges that businesses face in reconciling payments across various marketplaces, and UniReco addresses this specific need.”
