Get Started with AI AutomationThe “Missing Parcel” Problem in UK Online Retail
The landscape of UK online retail logistics is undergoing a significant transformation, with the escalating challenge of missing parcels demanding innovative solutions. As a Manchester-based consultancy, CCwithAI – AI for Retail – Missing Parcel Investigations (MPD), a pioneering Independent Expert AI consultancy, we are leading this charge. We’ve successfully deployed an advanced automated solution for a prominent blue-chip UK online retailer, showcasing a powerful case study in operational excellence. This groundbreaking system, leveraging custom Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI, completely replaces manual claims handling. It resolves “missing parcel” issues across all delivery services in minutes, achieving an industry-leading error rate of less than 0.4%.
UK online retailers lose an estimated £2.1 billion annually due to unclaimed courier refunds.

Our solution directly addresses these pain points, significantly reducing financial losses and operational overhead.
