About This Automation

Order fulfilment moves a paid order from notification through picking, packing, and shipping confirmation, with inventory and status updates handled by hand at every stage.

An automated version checks stock, builds an optimized pick list, and updates order status and tracking without manual re-entry. Orders ship faster, backorders are flagged immediately, and inventory counts stay accurate across systems.

Key features
Checks live inventory against each new order before a pick list is created
Builds an optimized, location-sorted pick list automatically for the warehouse floor
Updates order status and tracking across systems without manual re-entry
Reconciles stock counts as soon as items ship
Drafts and sends backorder notices to customers within minutes of detection
Sends shipping confirmation emails with tracking links automatically
