Special-order tracking for running stores

Every special order, tracked from request to pickup.

The shoe you don't stock. The model a customer asked for last week. Autofy pulls all of it onto one board connected to your store, so nothing lives in a binder, a spreadsheet, or someone's memory.

The Problem

Special orders are revenue you've already earned and can still lose.

They move through paper notes, staff memory, and order tags. Nothing tracks where an order sits or when it was placed. Customers follow up with staff who have to dig.

As volume grows, so do the odds of one quietly falling through. The shoe sits in the back, the customer gives up, and you eat inventory in a size that won't move.

demo.autofyinc.ca · sample store

The actual tracker, running on sample data for Waypoint, a fictional running store. Click into the pipeline, drag an order, open one up. Nothing here touches a real store.

What's Inside

The board, the alerts, and the message that used to be a phone call.

Pipeline board

Every special order on one board, moving through five stages: Needs Ordering, Order Placed, Shipped From Warehouse, Arrived, and Ready For Pickup.

Automatic arrival detection

The tracker watches your Shopify, Lightspeed or WooCommerce inventory and flags the order the moment the item comes into stock, so nobody has to spot it in a pile of boxes.

Customer notifications

The moment it lands, the customer gets an email automatically, sent in your store's name. No sticky note, no reminder to call, no order sitting in the back for a week.

Public tracking page

Your store name, hours and phone number. Customers check their own order on a private link instead of calling the front desk. Branded setup puts it on your own domain.

Aging alerts

Stale orders surface themselves before a customer ever has to chase one, so nothing quietly rots in a size that won't move.

Order history

Every order carries its own timeline, so any staff member can pick it up cold and know exactly where it stands.
