Auto Convert Order Status: New To In Progress

Auto Convert Order Status: New To In Progress

Goals

Automate order status updates to reduce manual work, ensure billing accuracy, and streamline the sync between e-commerce and financial systems.

Contributions

Developed a Python-based automation tool to regularly fetch order data via the e-commerce platform API. Implemented logic to detect when orders had been imported into the fulfillment system and were older than two hours. Automated the status update from "New" to "In-Progress," triggering necessary downstream processes including billing syncs. Leveraged AI tools to support the coding and deployment of this project.

Outcomes

Eliminated repetitive manual order status updates by customer service. Ensured timely and accurate status transitions required for billing processes. Improved operational efficiency across e-commerce, fulfillment, and finance workflows.
