Give each of your orders their own status — and send an automated email when those statuses change.

For a seller to thrive online, they need the trust of the consumer, they need clear and efficient processes and they need top quality customer communication.

Stages provides exactly that. It's a handy order management application that helps you track the progress of your orders through your manufacturing, assembly and fulfillment process by assigning custom statuses or "stages" to each order.

But not only does Stages help you track your orders, it helps your customers track their orders too by sending custom, automated email messages as their order's status changes.

This is particularly effective for businesses that sell bespoke, custom-made or assembled items, and that want to keep their customers in the loop after they've placed an order.

A happy customer is a satisfied customer, and a satisfied customer is a returning customer; turn all your customers into returning customers with Stages.

How it works.

Stages is an app that enables customizable labeling for each stage in the production and ordering processes. Here's how it works:

• When you start using Stages, you'll create your own statuses (or "stages") that match your company's unique assembly and fulfillment process. For example, if you run a T-shirt printing company, you might label your stages "Order Received", "Proofing", "Screen Printing", "Drying", and finally "Shipped".
• Next, you'll invite your team and then create your own automated email messages. You decide exactly which event should trigger an email, such as when an order goes from "Proofing" to "Screen Printing", or from "Drying" to "Shipped". You can even decide who an email will be sent to: yourself, your team or your customer.
• The email messages you create are built in a way that enables you to use dynamic details about your customer, their order and their shipping address, all without knowing those things ahead of time. That means you only need to write your emails once, and Stages will fill in the details when they're sent.
• Finally, as you or your team build and ship your orders throughout the day, you'll use the Stages dashboard to quickly push an order from one stage to the next. The app will monitor your dashboard activity, and send your automated emails whenever the trigger conditions are met.
