An online store with a small warehouse team

Webshop orders that reach the warehouse on their own

A paid order becomes a picking task, stock is updated in both systems, and the customer gets tracking without anyone copying data.

The situation

Orders come in through the webshop, and someone in the office copies each one into the system the warehouse uses.

Stock is counted in that system, but the shop shows its own numbers, updated when someone remembers. Customers occasionally buy things that are no longer on the shelf, and tracking numbers are pasted into emails by hand.

What we would build

  1. 01

    A workflow that turns every paid order into a sales order and a picking task, with no manual copying

  2. 02

    Stock kept in one place, the ERP, and pushed to the shop whenever it changes

  3. 03

    A courier integration that creates the label when the order is packed and stores the tracking number

  4. 04

    A shipping email with tracking sent from the shop, and the order status updated for the customer

  5. 05

    An alert to the office when an order cannot be processed, for example an unknown product code

What changes

  • The office stops copying orders and handles only the exceptions
  • The shop shows the stock the warehouse actually has
  • The warehouse works from one list, in the order things need to leave
  • Customers get tracking without asking for it
