Behind a single cart line, fulfilment can draw from more than one warehouse.
Take an illustrative example: a customer orders twelve fittings. Five units sit in one warehouse, four in a second and three in a third. To the buyer, it is still a single product.
Inside your business, however, you have to decide how to fulfil that request: ship from each location, consolidate the stock first or wait for replenishment? Distance, freight costs and lead times can lead to very different answers.
Carry your picking decisions cleanly into the ERP.
Those fulfilment choices belong directly inside the digital workflow. Depending on how your ERP works, a single cart line can translate into multiple order lines, each tied to a specific quantity and warehouse.
The rules your team already relies on can remain in place when the integration passes the right details. At Progymédia, we start from these real scenarios with the people who run daily operations to define how Boutik should connect.
From one cart line to multi-warehouse fulfilment
011. Simple requestThe buyer selects the total quantity needed on one product page.
022. Allocation ruleCriteria agreed with operations decide whether to split, consolidate or wait.
033. ERP lines & visibilityYour ERP receives warehouse-level lines and the customer sees clear delivery expectations.
Illustrative example. Actual allocation logic and lead times always depend on your operations and warehouse setup.
Keep the buyer informed before dispatch.
Customers also need to understand what splitting an order means for them. Will they receive more than one shipment? Will part of the order arrive later? Do extra shipping charges require approval?
Sharing the right details at the right moment makes the experience straightforward and saves your team from follow-up calls after the order is placed.
Three things to review before automating
✓ Watch the decisions a team member makes today when splitting an order manually across branches.
✓ Clarify when to favour partial shipments, internal transfers or waiting for incoming stock.
✓ Agree on what the buyer should see whenever multiple parcels or split timing apply.
