LabelLock

LabelLock is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) that helps mid-market ecommerce brands and 3PLs reduce return fraud and shrinkage by tying each return to a cryptographically signed shipping label and a required “pack-out” photo set. When a customer initiates a return, the system issues a one-time label/QR that expires and is bound to the order, SKU, and weight range. At drop-off or pickup, the customer (or store associate) scans the QR and captures 2–3 guided photos of the item and packaging; the app hashes and timestamps the evidence, then stores it for disputes. On receipt, warehouse staff scan the inbound label, the app flags mismatches (wrong item, empty box patterns, suspicious weight deltas), and routes exceptions to a simple review queue. It’s not magic: it won’t eliminate fraud, but it can measurably cut the most common, repeatable abuse cases and speed up legitimate refunds.
