Online Bookstore
HYBRID ORDER LOGISTICS
Challenge: An online bookstore offers signed copies alongside its standard catalog. Standard orders ship from an outsourced warehouse, while signed copies must ship directly from each author. A single order can contain both product types, with varying shipping cost constraints across international destinations.
Solution: An automated system that analyzes each order, splits it by product type, routes instructions to the right shippers, and recalculates shipping costs in real time.
