Field notes
The described workflow starts with staff recording the customer, item, and relevant details, then changing the order’s status as it is placed and arrives. The site says connected Shopify, Lightspeed, or WooCommerce stores can flag arrivals and trigger an email in the retailer’s name. Its City Park Runners example reports 12 staff using the board and 127 orders tracked in six weeks; the page explicitly distinguishes tracked revenue from revenue saved or added.
