Improve Inventory Accuracy of RMA Process by Test Automation

In high-volume reverse logistics, inventory accuracy requires moving beyond simple ‘pass/fail’ sorting to a granular understanding of device health. Manual testing brings variability and data latency, leading to ‘No Fault Found’ (NFF) bloat and degraded asset value.
To address this challenge effectively, our experienced QA specialists and software engineers implement a strategic test automation framework that acts as a rigorous quality gatekeeper. By accurately diagnosing and grading returned cameras at a large scale, we can unlock the trapped capital sitting in your returns pile.
