How does automation work?
- Triggers
Software automation uses triggers to make actions happen—for example, an event like a new order from a sales channel. Or the detection of a status change on a transaction, such as a shipment changing from picked to ready to ship.
- Actions and Rules
Rules in the software direct the course of action. They tell the automation what work to do and how and when to do it.
Accelerate Queues, Automation Rules
What’s a Queue?
Think of your team’s work as a list of tasks or, in our terms, a Queue of tasks. Software automation performs tasks faster and more accurately than humans.
For example, reviewing a list of sales orders to make sure each order matches customer expectations.
Or organizing a list of shipments so they are processed in the best possible way.
Or creating and sending out invoices.
Or even purchase orders.
These are simple examples. I’m sure you can think of queues of work in your operations.
What’s a Rule?
The work done on each queue can be codified into rules.
For example, a rule for an order queue might be:
- Check the sales order customer, e.g., classification = Gold.
- Check the sales order conditions, e.g., expected date, priority, etc.
- Check the time of day.
- Check the order value.
- Check the stock availability.
Based on the outcome, place the order at the front of the queue to allocate and ship.
These rules can be codified and presented to the automation, which will efficiently manage and do the work in the queues when and how you need it done.
