Solutions · Claims Automation

Claims decided in seconds, not days.

Item not received, damaged, not as described and warranty. Pinch runs the policy checks your team does by hand, adds the fraud checks nobody has time for, and resolves clear claims the moment they’re filed.

Claims today

An inbox, forms and tab hopping. Every claim, by hand.

1. Claim filed

Web form, warranty portal, CS ticket or an email to support.

2. Order pulled

By hand. Store platform first, then the shipping platform.

3. Evidence hunted

Proof of delivery across carrier sites. Photos judged by eye, policy from memory.

4. History checked

Per-email tags and spreadsheet counters. A new email is a clean slate.

5. Decision made

Refund, credit, reship or replacement. Denials rarely logged.

What it costs: minutes to hours per claim, outcomes that vary by agent, denials nobody records, and repeat claimants who disappear behind a new email.

What Pinch checks

Automate the policy checks. Layer the fraud checks on top.

Most teams handle the bottom layer by hand and skip the top one. Pinch runs both, and logs every denial with its reason.

How it works

Clear claims resolved instantly. The rest routed with evidence.
