Pinch’s data and analytics allow us to customize our returns flows in Loop, automate actions through Gorgias, and truly understand our customer segments. This enables us to tailor the experience for each customer—whether that means identifying fraud and bad actors or rewarding our VIPs—while seamlessly integrating into our broader tech stack.
