Status: Launching January 2026 | Beta Program: Active
The Problem We're Solving
Apparel merchants face a critical challenge: size-related returns. These returns are expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for both merchants and customers.
The Real Cost of Size Uncertainty
For Merchants:
- Returns cost $10-25 per item in processing, restocking, and shipping
- Size-related returns represent 30-40% of all apparel returns
- Average merchant with $500k annual revenue loses $40,000+ annually to size returns
- Customer service burden handling size questions and exchanges
For Customers:
- Hesitation to purchase due to sizing uncertainty
- Time and hassle of returns and exchanges
- Poor fit experience damages brand perception
- Multiple orders to find right size ties up budget
Why Existing Solutions Fall Short
Static Size Charts
- Don't account for brand-specific fit variations
- Ignore individual customer body types
- No learning or improvement over time
Enterprise Solutions
- Prohibitively expensive ($500-1,000+/month)
- Complex implementation requiring technical resources
- Over-engineered for most mid-market merchants
DIY Customer Notes
- Inconsistent and unreliable
- Creates customer service overhead
- Doesn't scale with business growth
