Problem Description
Order processing across multiple channels—web, mobile, in-store, and marketplaces—creates complexity in aggregation, inventory validation, and fulfillment execution. Without automation, orders are delayed, stockouts increase, and customer satisfaction drops. This template leverages Syncloop to orchestrate AI agents that collaborate to aggregate orders, validate stock, route to optimal warehouses, and execute delivery—all through API-driven microservices.
How It Works
Each AI agent is responsible for a modular component of the order lifecycle. Orders from various sources are collected, normalized, stock-checked, and then routed to fulfillment locations based on inventory, proximity, and capacity. Agents communicate using Syncloop APIs to coordinate tasks like bundling, priority handling, delivery scheduling, and returns initiation. The system ensures accurate, real-time, and efficient order fulfillment.
Who can use this
- Omnichannel retail businesses
- D2C brands
- 3PLs and fulfillment aggregators
- Online marketplaces
- Supply chain and logistics tech platforms
Benefits
- Real-time multi-channel order aggregation
- Optimized routing for fast, cost-effective delivery
- Reduced manual intervention in fulfillment processes
- Full audit trails of every order lifecycle stage
- Scalable, modular automation across SKUs and geographies

Flow Summary
- OrderCollectorAgent begins with /orders/collect, normalizing orders from multiple channels.
- Each order is verified for availability via InventoryCheckerAgent through /inventory/check.
- FulfillmentRouterAgent uses /fulfillment/route to assign the most optimal warehouse for fulfillment.
- If multiple items are involved, BundleOptimizerAgent uses /bundle/optimize to consolidate them smartly.
- DeliverySchedulerAgent executes the handoff to couriers via /delivery/schedule.
- Throughout, StatusTrackerAgent updates order status using /status/track for visibility across systems.
Optional Enhancements
- Add ReturnsManagerAgent to automate RMA and reverse logistics
- Use CustomerNotifierAgent to send real-time delivery updates
- Add PaymentValidationAgent to link with fraud detection or payment status APIs
- Use InventoryForecasterAgent to proactively restock fast-moving items
