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

Agents Required

Agent Name Specific Roles and Capabilties
OrderCollectorAgent Aggregates orders from all digital and physical sources; normalizes them into a unified format.
InventoryCheckerAgent Validates item availability across warehouses and storage units.
FulfillmentRouterAgent Determines optimal warehouse/location for dispatch based on stock, cost, SLA, and distance.
BundleOptimizerAgent Groups items into consolidated shipments when applicable, applying packaging logic.
DeliverySchedulerAgent Schedules pickups and deliveries with appropriate couriers or delivery APIs.
StatusTrackerAgent Tracks fulfillment status (picked, packed, shipped, delivered) and syncs it back to user or ERP/CRM systems.

Syncloop API Usage

API Endpoint Method Input Parameters Output Format Agent Name
/orders/collect POST channel_id, order_payload, timestamp standard_order_json, source_channel, order_id OrderCollectorAgent
/inventory/check POST order_id, product_ids, quantity, region stock_available, out_of_stock_items, warehouse_mapping InventoryCheckerAgent
/fulfillment/route POST order_id, warehouse_mapping, delivery_region, sla_tier assigned_warehouse, route_score, estimated_cost FulfillmentRouterAgent
/bundle/optimize POST order_id, product_list, warehouse, packaging_rules bundle_plan, packing_units, consolidation_flag BundleOptimizerAgent
/delivery/schedule POST order_id, courier_options, warehouse, delivery_window scheduled_pickup_time, courier_id, tracking_number DeliverySchedulerAgent
/status/track PUT order_id, tracking_number, event_type, timestamp status_update, delivery_state, last_location StatusTrackerAgent

Flow Summary

  1. OrderCollectorAgent begins with /orders/collect, normalizing orders from multiple channels.
  2. Each order is verified for availability via InventoryCheckerAgent through /inventory/check.
  3. FulfillmentRouterAgent uses /fulfillment/route to assign the most optimal warehouse for fulfillment.
  4. If multiple items are involved, BundleOptimizerAgent uses /bundle/optimize to consolidate them smartly.
  5. DeliverySchedulerAgent executes the handoff to couriers via /delivery/schedule.
  6. 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

Ideal (Key Performance Indicator) KPIs to Measure Success

  • Average order fulfillment time
  • Order consolidation efficiency (avg. packages/order)
  • Stockout rate across fulfillment centers
  • Cost-per-order vs target fulfillment cost
  • Delivery accuracy rate
  • System uptime & API response speed for mission-critical operations
