Components of Order Tracking
1. Order Placement and Confirmation
- Action: Upon order placement, an order confirmation is automatically generated and sent to the customer. This notification includes important details such as order ID, product details, delivery address, and expected delivery time.
- Goal: Confirm the accuracy of the order and provide the customer with a clear indication that the order has been successfully placed.
2. Inventory and Payment Status Check
- Action: Monitor the order to ensure that inventory levels match the order quantity and that payment has been successfully processed. If any discrepancies are found, an alert is triggered to the team to address the issue.
- Goal: Ensure that inventory is available to fulfill the order and that the payment has been received before proceeding with further fulfillment steps.
