The Challenge

Initial Situation:
  • Manual monitoring and management of unfulfilled orders due to unresolved address issues were consuming significant administrative resources, with many orders remaining in limbo indefinitely.
Pain Points:
  • The continuous accumulation of unfulfilled orders led to inefficiencies in inventory and fulfillment workflows, tying up resources that could be better utilized elsewhere. The lack of automated follow-up mechanisms for address verification increased the risk of errors and customer dissatisfaction.
Business Impact:
  • The backlog of orders awaiting customer address verification resulted in delayed order processing and potential revenue loss. The operational inefficiency also strained internal resources, requiring frequent manual interventions to resolve issues that could be automated.

Our Solution

Automation Integration:
  • Developed a robust automation system that identifies orders with unresolved address issues immediately upon detection. This system is seamlessly integrated with Shopify and the ERP system, ensuring real-time data consistency across platforms.
Proactive Communication & Resolution Strategy:
  • Implemented a sequence of automated communications, sending three tailored reminders to customers to update their address information. If no response is received after the third reminder, the automation triggers the cancellation of the order.
Ticket Management in Freshdesk:
  • All unresolved issues are tracked in Freshdesk as tickets, created and updated by a separate automation. This includes logging all relevant events. If an order is canceled due to non-response, the corresponding ticket is also marked as closed, ensuring all records are up-to-date and reflect the latest status.
Operational Efficiency:
  • The automation frees up valuable resources by handling the entire process from detection to cancellation, minimizing the need for manual intervention and significantly reducing the risk of human error.
Scalability and Adaptability:
  • The system is designed to handle fluctuations in order volumes and can be adapted to include more complex scenarios or additional steps if needed, providing a scalable solution that grows with business needs.

Final Notes

This automation streamlines order management by detecting unresponsive orders with address issues and automatically handling reminders and cancellations. Previously, unresolved orders caused backlog and operational strain due to manual tracking and follow-ups.

Now, customers receive automated reminders, and if no response is provided, the order is canceled in Shopify and the ERP system. This ensures a clean, up-to-date order pipeline, reduces workload, and improves efficiency, preventing resources from being wasted on unfulfilled orders.
