Automatic detection and alerting of duplicate or fraudulent orders

Purpose

1. Automate the real-time detection and alerting of duplicate or potentially fraudulent orders for fabric wholesalers.

2. Enables automated verification on incoming wholesale orders using preset parameters (e.g., customer info, payment method, order amount, SKU).

3. Reduces revenue loss and inventory misallocation caused by automated handling of illegitimate or double orders.

4. Ensures only authentic, unique orders proceed for fulfillment through automated screening workflows.

5. Triggers immediate automated notifications to sales and operations if fraud or duplication patterns are detected.

6. Supports auditing and compliance by retaining logs of all automated detection events.

Trigger Conditions

1. New order submission into OMS, ERP, or e-commerce platform.

2. Matching customer details or payment info across different orders within a defined timeframe – automated matching logic.

3. Unusual order value or volume based on historical ordering patterns flagged by automation.

4. Use of suspicious email domains or flagged IP addresses detected via integrated automated checks.

5. Orders placed outside typical business hours or bulk-quantity anomalies, triggering automated alerts.
