Problem Description

In modern e-commerce, retailers often sell across multiple channels such as Amazon, Shopify, eBay, and their own websites. Managing orders from these diverse sources manually leads to delays, data mismatches, and customer dissatisfaction. This template demonstrates how multiple AI agents can collaboratively fetch, normalize, process, and fulfill multi-channel orders using Syncloop APIs. Automating this process ensures real-time accuracy, faster fulfillment, and improved customer service.

How It Works

Multiple AI agents work in sync to fetch orders from various platforms, unify them into a consistent format, check inventory, trigger fulfillment processes, and generate notifications and reports. Each agent communicates via purpose-built Syncloop APIs for task orchestration and data exchange. This enables robust, scalable, and traceable order management with minimal human intervention.

Who can use this

  • E-commerce platforms
  • Omni-channel retailers
  • Logistics and fulfillment companies
  • Inventory and warehouse management software vendors

Benefits

  • Real-time order aggregation from multiple channels
  • Error-free inventory and fulfillment checks
  • Scalable and modular service-oriented architecture
  • Reduced human dependency and faster processing
  • Improved customer satisfaction and fewer SLA violations

Agents Required

A. Channel Order Fetcher Agent
Role & Capabilities: Fetches raw orders from Amazon, Shopify, eBay, and WooCommerce APIs. Converts them into a standard JSON schema. Works with scheduled triggers or on-demand.
Interactions: Uses APIs like /order/fetch?channel=amazon and standardizes output into a unified format.
B. Order Normalizer Agent
Role & Capabilities: Converts platform-specific order formats into a normalized schema. Applies business logic for consistency (e.g., timestamp format, currency conversion).
Interactions: Consumes raw JSON from fetcher and returns normalized objects to downstream APIs.
C. Inventory Validator Agent
Role & Capabilities: Checks availability of ordered SKUs from the internal inventory system or 3rd-party warehouse APIs. Flags low-stock or out-of-stock items.
Interactions: Calls /inventory/check?sku=XYZ and returns stock status.
D. Fulfillment Orchestrator Agent
Role & Capabilities: Determines the best fulfillment partner based on location, SLA, and cost. Sends POST requests to internal/3rd-party logistics APIs for fulfillment initiation.
Interactions: Uses /fulfillment/initiate and logs response with tracking ID.
E. Notification & Reporting Agent
Role & Capabilities: Sends confirmation emails/SMS to customers, and generates daily summary reports for internal use.
Interactions: Calls /notify/send and /report/generate.

Syncloop API Usage

Endpoint Method Input Parameters Output Format
/order/fetch GET channel (string) { orders: [...] }
/order/normalize POST Raw order JSON { normalizedOrder: {...} }
/inventory/check GET sku (string) { sku: string, available: boolean }
/fulfillment/initiate POST Normalized order JSON { fulfillmentId, trackingUrl }
/notify/send POST { customerId, type, message } { status: "sent", timestamp }
/report/generate GET date, channel (optional) { reportUrl: string }

Flow Summary

  1. Channel Order Fetcher Agent triggers every 15 minutes or via webhook to call /order/fetch?channel=[source] for each sales channel.
  2. Raw orders are sent to the Order Normalizer Agent via /order/normalize, which returns standardized JSON.
  3. The Inventory Validator Agent checks stock via /inventory/check?sku=[SKU] for each item in the order.
  4. If items are available, the Fulfillment Orchestrator Agent initiates shipment using /fulfillment/initiate.
  5. Once the fulfillment partner returns a confirmation, the Notification Agent sends a confirmation to the customer via /notify/send.
  6. At the end of the day, the Reporting Agent calls /report/generate to provide a summary of orders processed.

Optional Enhancements

  • AI-based Fraud Detection Agent: Flags suspicious orders based on historical data
  • Customer Sentiment Analysis Agent: Monitors customer replies and feedback via support emails.
  • Dynamic Pricing Agent: Suggests pricing adjustments based on order trends and inventory levels.
  • 3rd-Party Analytics Integration: Google Analytics, Power BI dashboards for deeper insights.
