We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our latest feature in VendBase: the Orders Kanban board. This powerful new tool is set to transform how WooCommerce store owners manage their orders, bringing visual clarity and efficiency to the order fulfilment process.

What is Orders Kanban?

The Orders Kanban is a visual management tool that allows you to view and manage your WooCommerce orders in a highly intuitive, board-based format. Inspired by lean manufacturing principles, Kanban boards have become a staple in project management for their ability to visualise workflow and maximise efficiency.

Key Features of VendBase Orders Kanban

1. Visual Order Flow

See your entire order process at a glance. Orders are represented as cards that move through columns representing different stages of your fulfillment process.

2. Drag-and-Drop Simplicity

Updating an order’s status is as easy as dragging and dropping it to a new column. This intuitive interface makes order management faster and more engaging.

3. Customisable Workflow

Tailor the Kanban board to match your unique business process. Create custom columns that represent your specific order stages, from “New Order” to “Shipped” and everything in between.

4. Performance Insights

Identify bottlenecks in your fulfilment process at a glance. See where orders are piling up and take action to streamline your workflow.
