What is an order processing tracker?

An order processing tracker is used to manage and track the progress of customer orders as they move through the various stages of the order fulfilment process.

What are the common features of an order processing tracker?

The order tracking process may include tracking order receipt, order validation, order routing, order prioritization, preparation, shipping, and delivery as well as aspects related to payment processing. Common features of an order processing tracker include the ability to:

track the status of orders (received, in progress, shipped, delivered, and more)
assign orders to specific team members or departments
set and track due dates for orders
view and update customer information
generate and view detailed reports on order history, shipping and tracking information, and inventory levels
provide notifications for important events or changes in order status
integrate with other systems such as inventory management or shipping software
provide a dashboard for the overall order tracking and progress

Why build an order processing tracker?

Order processing trackers provide a centralized way to manage and track all aspects of order fulfilment, from the initial customer order to the final delivery.

This improves multiple teams’ efficiency, reduces human error and helps in sales forecasting and production planning.
With real-time data and insights, order processing trackers also help organizations reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction.
Building a custom order processing tracker also helps you tailor it to your needs rather than trying to adapt to a pre-built solution. This can include integrating with existing systems, adding unique features or functionalities, or adapting the user interfaces to your liking.
It also gives you more control over your data management, privacy and security needs.

What are the challenges of building an order processing tracker?

Complexity: Order processing trackers can be complex to build, especially if they need to integrate with other systems and handle a large amount of data. This can require a significant amount of development resources and expertise.
Data management: Ensuring the accuracy and integrity of data is a critical challenge when building an order processing tracker.
User experience: Building a tracker with a user-friendly interface and easy navigation for different teams to use is challenging without experience frontend engineers involved.
Testing and quality assurance: You will need thorough testing to ensure your tracker is fully functional and reliable. Poor performance or inaccuracies in the system can lead to direct revenue loss for the company.
Maintenance and upgrades: It takes a lot of effort and time to keep your dashboards updated with the newest security updates, new feature or tool integration requests, technological advancements, and regulatory changes.
Security: You will need to ensure the security of sensitive information, such as customers' personal and financial data as well as implement measures for access control, authorization and compliance with regulations.

Which teams use order processing trackers the most?

Operations teams: to coordinate the different stages of order fulfilment, including inventory management, production, and shipping.
Sales teams: to track the progress of customer orders and ensure they are fulfilled in a timely manner
Accounting teams: to track and reconcile payments for customer orders.
