Ecommerce Task
Build a subscription dispatch queue
Separate scheduled from overdue orders, check stock, and create a dated view for each dispatch wave.
“This is costing me dispatch time and creates anxiety that I will lose or prematurely ship a subscription order.”
The result you need
The team fulfils each due subscription wave without losing an order or shipping a future order early.
What is happening now
Where the work gets stuck
Subscription orders appear unfulfilled before their planned monthly dispatch date.
- When it starts
- The pending order list grows, a dispatch date approaches, or the team cannot distinguish future and overdue work.
- What makes it difficult
- One long unfulfilled list can mix scheduled orders, due orders, exceptions, missing stock, and orders that need customer contact.
- What progress looks like
- Every pending subscription order has a due wave, stock state, exception state, owner, and final dispatch reconciliation.
What to try next
Prepare and reconcile a subscription dispatch wave
Create a dated dispatch view that separates future, due, overdue, blocked, and completed subscription orders.
Before you act
Check these limits
- Use the actual subscription contract and fulfilment schedule.
- Reserve stock through the store-approved process.
- Keep address, payment, cancellation, and customer-contact exceptions out of bulk fulfilment.
