How to Create Custom Order-Related Rules for Faster Fulfillment

Order fulfillment is a pivotal aspect of any e-commerce business’s success. In this lesson, we will explore the challenges that e-commerce businesses face when managing orders and how they can gain a competitive edge through the use of Sellercloud’s custom order-related rules.

Challenge 1: Lack of Automation

One of the primary challenges in e-commerce order fulfillment is the lack of automation. Each business is unique, and sellers often have specific requirements for their order workflows. Different sales channels have distinct order fulfillment criteria, such as specific labeling requirements, inclusion of invoices, and more. This diversity can lead to manual, time-consuming adjustments.

Solution:
Sellercloud’s Order Rule Engine automates the multitude of minor details necessary to ensure compliance with various sales, channels, and locations. This empowers sellers to apply automatic changes to their orders and items, including order splitting and warehouse changes. These automated processes eliminate tedious manual adjustments, saving time and reducing errors.

Challenge 2: Lack of Efficiency

E-commerce teams often find themselves overwhelmed by manual order-related tasks, which not only consume valuable time but also impact overall productivity. These manual tasks can lead to delayed order processing and customer dissatisfaction.

Solution:
Sellercloud’s Order Rule Engine provides a solution to this efficiency challenge. By using order rules, sellers can speed up their workflow and accelerate processes, leading to happier employees and more satisfied customers. This tool allows for actions like placing orders on hold and automatically releasing holds, dropshipping an order, and adding notes for the shipping team. These features enhance a seller’s shipping efficiency, reduce costs, and make their business more competitive.

Challenge 3: Ease of Use

Customization and automation in order management often require technical expertise, which may necessitate hiring a developer. Many sellers find it challenging to create and manage custom order rules due to the complexity and technical knowledge required.

Solution:
Sellers can create and configure order rules themselves without the need for a developer. Once set up, these rules can run automatically without direct supervision, simplifying operations and improving workflow.

Conclusion

By addressing the lack of automation, improving efficiency, and simplifying the ease of use, Sellercloud empowers sellers to tailor their workflow, enhance efficiency, and streamline operations. This results in a faster, more cost-effective shipping process, ultimately giving businesses a competitive edge in the e-commerce landscape.
