From packed boxes to a shipment the client can track.
This TechFoundry IMS demo reuses box details, retrieves UPS rates, creates shipping labels, and keeps tracking connected to the client order. A practical example of the AI and automation workflows we build into business software.

This is super practical! Love how you connected packed boxes directly to UPS rates and live tracking. Most IMS demos are too theoretical, but this shows a real, client-facing workflow.
AI + automation for shipping is a huge time-saver. Great product demo!
Our company is a customer of our own IMS! That's why all of our demos are purely based on practical scenarios.
Thanks Zahid! Really appreciate you explaining that. Makes sense now.
For the label-creation step, I'd test a timeout after UPS accepts the request, since a blind retry could create a second label. Do you reconcile the existing shipment before retrying?
We handle this properly with SQS. An existing request does not leave the queue unless it is properly concluded (success or failure).
I like that the shipment stays tied to the client order instead of living in a separate carrier tab. When box details get edited after the UPS rate is retrieved, does the system re-quote before creating the label, or lock the original rate? I'd be curious how you handle that mismatch on the tracking side.

I had built an n8n workflow that creates my biweekly contractor invoice.
But upon interviewing contractors for this prodocut, their feedback was blunt: where do my settings live? What happens at 100 users? Can I change my rate without emailing you?
So for the #Base44Challenge I rebuilt it as Fortnight, in a few days.
Every hour, a scheduled workflow checks each contractor's settings. If an invoice is due, it calculates the hours and GST/QST/HST, creates the invoice, emails it and tracks it through sent and paid. Everything is editable on one settings page, and the dashboard shows the tax collected so far this year.
What I took from it: Conversations with real users changed the product more than any feature idea I had.
And an AI app builder moves fastest when you decide the rules first.
