Works for: [Ecommerce brands](https://www.generalinput.com/templates/ecommerce-brands), [Fulfillment warehouses](https://www.generalinput.com/templates/fulfillment-warehouses)

## What it handles

- A daily exceptions list: late, stuck, or lost shipments, with customer updates and carrier inquiries drafted.
- Reorder alerts when stock will run out before the next delivery, with suggested quantities.
- A returns and claims log showing what is owed back and what is still open.

## What to bring

- Your store or warehouse tools (Shopify, ShipStation, ShipBob, AfterShip, or Loop Returns).
- Supplier lead times, reorder rules, carrier claim deadlines, and who approves purchase orders.

## What it can set up for you

- **Shipment Problem Method** (skill): Looks into one order or shipment and drafts the customer or carrier message.
- **Daily Shipping Exceptions** (workflow, Every morning): Lists late, stuck, and lost shipments, with customer and carrier drafts.
- **Reorder Alerts** (workflow, Every Monday morning): Warns when stock will run out before the next delivery and suggests a reorder.
- **Returns and Claims Log** (app): Each return and carrier claim with its amount, deadline, and status.

## A fictional example

### You provide

Fictional, 2026-10-14: order 1042 shipped 2026-10-06 with no tracking scan for 6 days. SKU TEA-01 has 140 units on hand, sells 25 a day, and the supplier takes 8 days. A carrier claim for order 988 must be filed by 2026-10-20.

### Illustrative result

# Fulfillment, 2026-10-14

## Stuck
- Order 1042: no scan in 6 days. Carrier inquiry and customer update drafted.

## Reorder
- TEA-01: 140 on hand at 25 a day lasts about 5.6 days, and the supplier takes 8. Reorder now; 200 units covers the lead time alone.

## Claims
- Order 988: claim deadline 2026-10-20.

Nothing was ordered, filed, or sent.

## How setup works

1. Add the specialist. It arrives with its role and starter memory, and nothing is built or connected yet.
2. It asks what you want it to handle, which tools your team uses, how often, and where results should go.
3. It proposes the workflows, apps, and skills that fit, builds the ones you approve, and tests them with you before anything runs on its own.

## Where its job ends

- It reads and drafts. It never places an order, issues a refund, files a claim, or messages a customer or carrier.
- Reorder suggestions show the sales rate and lead time behind them. It never promises a customer a delivery date.
