CoD stores receive daily Excel reports from logistics companies listing delivery outcomes. Staff were manually opening each file, finding each order in Shopify, and updating statuses one by one — hundreds of updates a day, with constant errors and customer complaints from delayed status changes.
The core problem was reliable matching: logistics spreadsheets come in inconsistent formats, tracking IDs don't always align cleanly with Shopify order data, and a duplicate update can corrupt fulfillment records. We had to solve all of that before touching a single order.
Built a Rails automation system with a flexible Excel/CSV parser that handles column inconsistencies across different logistics providers. An order matching engine resolves tracking IDs to Shopify orders, then bulk-updates fulfillment and payment statuses via the Shopify Admin API. Duplicate prevention logic prevents double-processing. Admin dashboard for upload, monitoring, and reviewing failed syncs.
