order processing
Purchase workflow management
Order processing is the sequence of steps a business takes to fulfill a customer's purchase—receiving the order, verifying payment, picking and packing items, and arranging shipment.
The term appears in retail, warehousing, and e-commerce contexts: Our order processing time is 24 to 48 hours.
Efficient order processing is central to customer satisfaction and inventory management.
