You started work, and a couple of orders started coming in every day; this process is easy. When the order arrives, you see the e-mail or check your panel; you print the order, prepare the order, call the cargo, paste the destination address on it, write your invoice, and deliver it to the shipment with the product.
But what if 200 orders a day start arriving, or 2000? What will you do in this situation? You only need to employ more than one person for billing. Of course, this is good and important for employment, but the error coefficient and costs increase.
The story would go like this if you were to automate this process.
The order comes to your application or e-mail, the automation tool detects that the order has arrived, sends a copy of the order to the team that will prepare the order, ensures the preparation of the invoice, and passes the information that there is an order to the cargo company. You have to deliver the products to the cargo. Your error coefficient would approach zero, and you would have the opportunity to invest in different aspects of your business with the income you earned.
Automation can be applied to almost any business.
Whenever an order occurs in Shopify, it sends the data to Xero, creating a new customer and a new order. Below you can see an example of a similar scenario prepared as a template on Make.com. Of course, you can customize the scenarios according to you.
