Notes: “~” indicates an approximate average; “<” indicates an upper bound. We keep integrations generic for privacy (ecommerce channels, shipping, etc.).

The problem

Disconnected tools and manual handoffs created slowdowns, inconsistent data, and limited owner-level visibility into execution. The team needed one system where orders, inventory, manufacturing, and quality status were always in sync.

The build

A premium operations command center that unifies order intake, fulfillment visibility, inventory positions, manufacturing batches, QC gates, and role-based work queues—plus optional AI-assisted workflows for follow-ups and exception surfacing.

Modules included

Unified dashboard + role-based queues
Orders + fulfillment visibility (multi-channel)
Inventory positions + allocations + exceptions
Manufacturing batches + traceability
Quality control gates + approvals
Alerts, audit trails, and operational reporting
Optional AI-assisted workflows (fit-dependent)

Screens (anonymized)

High-fidelity recreations based on the real system. Dummy SKUs, generic channels/carriers, and no customer data.
