Why Top Apparel Brands Choose AIMS360 Apparel Software and Loop Returns for Automated Fashion RMA and Shopify Returns

Apparel brands face more returns complexity than nearly any other industry: exchanges for sizes, style swaps, international orders, and the need for flawless inventory and customer credit handling. That’s why AIMS360 apparel software, fully integrated with Loop Returns (formerly Returnly), is the leading solution for automated, accurate, and customer-friendly Shopify returns in fashion.

Loop Returns + AIMS360 ERP: The Apparel Software Solution for Fashion RMA and Returns

  • Instant Exchanges & Fast Refunds: Give customers immediate exchanges for a new size, color, or style, with funds securely held and new orders triggered instantly.

  • International Returns Automation: Easily manage returns and exchanges for customers worldwide, all with unified policy control in your apparel software.
  • Advanced Fraud Protection: Block return abusers and automate approval rules for safer, more profitable returns.
  • Analytics & Insights: Understand top reasons for returns, size or style trends, and spot quality issues early.

Why Apparel ERP Is Essential for Fashion Returns

Apparel brands have unique operational challenges—style, color, and size matrix, seasonal collections, and tight inventory margins. Using an apparel ERP like AIMS360 makes a massive difference in how returns and RMAs are handled:

  • True Size/Color/Style Matching: Automatically link returned goods to the exact SKU—down to size and color—so inventory is always accurate, and replacements are the right fit.
  • Multi-Channel Sync: Unify returns from Shopify, wholesale, retail stores, and marketplaces with a single source of truth for inventory, credits, and customer accounts.
  • Automated RMA Workflow: Every return request instantly creates a fashion RMA in AIMS360, so your team sees the reason, original order, and next steps without manual data entry.
  • Intelligent Restocking: Only restock what’s actually received and in resalable condition—preventing over-refunds, ghost inventory, and lost revenue.
  • Customer Credit Management: Credits and refunds flow automatically from Shopify and Loop Returns into AIMS360, with all AR and financials perfectly reconciled.
  • Bulk and Batch Processing: Streamline high-volume returns with batch AR adjustments and mass updates—critical for flash sales, holiday spikes, or major product launches.

How Shopify Returns Automation Works with AIMS360 and Loop Returns

  1. Effortless Customer Experience:
  2. Shoppers launch a return or exchange from your Shopify store in Loop’s branded portal—picking items, reasons, and new styles or sizes in minutes.
  3. Automated RMA Creation:
  4. The return instantly creates an RMA in AIMS360 apparel software, capturing every detail from order info to refund/exchange preference.
  5. Warehouse & Store Restocking:
  6. When items are received—at your warehouse, store, or 3PL—AIMS360 updates inventory, closes out the fashion RMA, and signals Shopify to trigger a refund or exchange.
  7. Exchange Order Automation:
  8. Need to send a replacement? Loop Returns and Shopify automatically generate the new order, which AIMS360 imports and fulfills—no manual steps.
  9. Real-Time Inventory & Financial Sync:
  10. Credits, exchanges, and refunds are tracked instantly across all channels and locations—no double entry, no lag, no lost sales.
