About PerfectFit

We built the API we wished existed
when we were the retailer.

PerfectFit is a B2B size recommendation API that helps fashion retailers cut size-related returns. No proprietary sizing standards required β€” it works with your existing size guides.

30–40%
of online fashion returns are size-related (industry estimate)
3 ways
to find a size: known brand, measurements, or AI photo
Cross-brand
size equivalences across hundreds of brands

The problem is bigger than it looks

The EU fashion industry ships around 5 billion parcels per year. Estimates put return rates at 25–40% for online orders β€” and size fit accounts for a third to a half of those returns. That's not just a logistics cost: it's a carbon footprint, a customer experience failure, and a profitability gap that compounds every quarter.

Existing solutions are either built for giants (multi-month integrations, custom SDKs, enterprise contracts) or inaccurate (generic "pick the nearest size" logic). Neither works for a mid-size retailer who wants results in weeks, not quarters.

PerfectFit bridges that gap: accuracy at the level of custom solutions, simplicity at the level of a JavaScript snippet.

Timeline

Early 2026
Idea

While working on return data for a fashion brand, Arnaud saw how large a share of returns came down to the wrong size β€” and that existing tools were either too complex or too generic.

March 2026
First prototype

Built a category-aware size engine working across brands, and validated it internally on a Celio-style catalog.

May 2026
MVP launched

useperfectfit.com goes live. B2B API + embeddable widget + tenant dashboard. First pilot conversations with fashion retailers in France.

Now
Seeking pilot partners

Looking for 3–5 fashion retailers willing to run a 3-month pilot on one product category. Free during pilot. We share return rate data, you provide feedback.

Values

🎯
Accuracy over speed

A wrong recommendation costs more than a slow one. Every algorithm decision is made with false-positive rate as the north-star metric.

πŸ”
Transparency

We explain every recommendation with a confidence score and contributing factors. No black box β€” retailers deserve to understand the logic.

🧩
Simplicity

Our widget deploys in a single script tag. Our API needs one POST call. Complexity belongs in our code, not in yours.

🀝
Partnership over vendor

We integrate directly with your data team, align on KPIs, and share the upside of reduced returns. We win when you win.
