How Split Order Works with Core dna
Core dna's comprehensive platform allows for intelligent order management through its Split Order feature. Upon receiving a customer order, Core dna analyzes inventory data and fulfillment center locations to determine the most efficient way to split and fulfill the order. The platform automates the splitting process based on predefined rules—such as product size, availability, and location—ensuring that each sub-order is appropriately routed to different warehouses or vendors for fulfillment.
Integration with Core dna Tools
The Split Order functionality is deeply integrated with Core dna’s inventory management, shipping, and reporting tools. This integration ensures that all parts of the order life cycle are managed seamlessly. Marketers can monitor the progress of each split order through detailed dashboards and reports, adjusting marketing strategies to align with fulfillment performance and customer expectations.

Practical Use Case: Implementation Example
Consider an online retailer with several warehouses across different regions. When a customer places an order that includes various products stored at different locations, the Split Order feature within Core dna activates. It uses intelligent algorithms to break down the customer's order into multiple shipments. Each shipment is directed to the respective regional fulfillment center to ensure swift delivery.
For instance, a customer orders three items—one available in a Toronto warehouse, another in a New York facility, and the last in Los Angeles. The Split Order system divides the order and forwards separate shipping requests to each location. This not only speeds up the delivery process but also minimizes shipping expenses as multiple items are not unnecessarily regrouped.
Benefits for Marketers
Marketers can glean valuable insights from the Split Order feature's integration within Core dna. By analyzing the shipping and fulfillment data, they can refine their marketing strategies to highlight faster delivery times and reduced shipping costs, creating a competitive advantage in customer experience. Additionally, they can utilize forecasting data to optimize promotional efforts and inventory stock levels dynamically.
