Introduction
In our previous blog, we introduced SellerScape’s Order Routing feature and its various configurations. Today, we’ll delve into Priority based order routing, a strategy designed to ensure reliability and speed by assigning priorities to vendors.
What is Priority Based Order Routing?
Priority based routing allows you to assign a ranking to your vendors based on factors such as reliability, speed, and past performance. Orders are routed to the highest priority vendor available, ensuring that your customers receive their products promptly and reliably.
Setting Up Priority Based Order Routing
- Assign Priorities: Rank your vendors based on criteria that matter most to your business. This could include delivery speed, fulfillment accuracy, or customer feedback.
- Define Rules: Create rules that determine how and when these priorities should be applied. For example, you might prefer vendors with faster shipping times for urgent orders.
- Monitor Performance: Continuously monitor vendor performance and adjust priorities as needed to maintain optimal service levels.
Advanced Options
- Order Splitting: Decide if order items should be split among multiple high-priority vendors to expedite delivery.
- Negative Profit Check: Ensure that prioritizing certain vendors doesn’t lead to negative profits by setting acceptable thresholds.
Benefits of Priority Based Order Routing
- Reliability: By choosing vendors with proven track records, you minimize the risk of delays and errors.
- Customer Satisfaction: Faster and more reliable deliveries lead to happier customers and repeat business.
- Flexibility: Adjust priorities based on real-time performance data to adapt to changing business needs.
