# Why is my team taking too long to process orders?

**Manual processing works at small volumes — but once you cross ~30 daily orders, your team starts to struggle.**

Deciding what to pick, choosing the right courier, reprinting labels, rearranging shelves,
 and updating inventory manually quickly become bottlenecks.

**This leads to longer dispatch times and delayed deliveries.**
