The Constraint

Warehouse executed orders. System reflected those orders hours later. Physical events and digital visibility operated on separate timelines. Order picked. Invoice created later. Goods dispatched. System updated after the fact.

Duplicated data entry at every transition point. Order details keyed twice. Inwards goods entered manually. Invoice generation required separate input. Fragmented ownership across warehouse, customer service and finance meant no single view of order status or financial position.

The constraint was structural information flow breakdown. Warehouse execution and system visibility misaligned. Operational architecture designed for lower volume, never redesigned as throughput increased.
