Most e-commerce brands hire before they automate. That's burning money.

Before you add a single person to your team, these 5 workflows should be running on autopilot:

1. Order status updates — Customers shouldn't have to ask where their package is. A simple automation pulls tracking data and sends proactive updates via email/SMS. Takes 30 minutes to set up, saves you 10+ hours/week in support tickets.

2. Inventory reorder alerts — If you're manually checking stock levels, you're already too late. Set thresholds, get alerts, auto-generate POs when inventory drops below your safety stock.

3. Review collection — The brands winning on marketplaces have systems that automatically request reviews at the right moment (post-delivery, not post-purchase). Timing is everything.

4. Return processing — Your return flow should take zero human touches for standard cases. Customer initiates → label generated → refund triggered → inventory updated. Done.

5. Ad spend monitoring — An AI agent that watches your ROAS in real-time and pauses underperforming campaigns before they drain your budget. This one alone can save thousands/month.

We build all of these (and more) at Woodique India. One-time build, runs forever.
