Intellareturn, a New York City-based corporation, markets and licenses patented Customer Interaction Management (CIM) solutions. These products and services automatically verify active or passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags — with serialized EPC barcodes affixed to an item or package — to:

• validate and ship returns for rapid customer warranty services
• instantly ascertain warranty status of any package at third-party courier locations
• provide real-time service authentication that expedites post-sale returns
• identify purchase dates and return privileges while maintaining customer privacy.

Enhancing the Customer Experience
Intellareturn lets businesses manage returns as easily as they handle the customer's original outbound orders. By working in conjunction with web-based warranty and return server systems, Intellareturn allows manufacturers, retailers and couriers to create customer-focused return centers.

RFID is the next step in this evolution of customer-facing technology enhancements. The business potential of combining courier shipping services with RFID to communicate warranty and return information provides automated return authorization processes that reduce costs, promote efficiency and increase customer service.

Intellarturn is introducing prototype versions and reinforcing standardization of RFID for warranty technologies to enhance the customer relationship management (CRM) service platforms for shipping couriers. The Company's management team expects warranty and return-based RFID moving into full commercial service before or by 2008.

Significant Benefits Drive ROI
