Product teams, warehouse managers, and purchasing staff often rely on SKU.io to keep orders and stock moving. A sales order can be created, goods can be received, or an order can be shipped while the customer is still waiting for an update. Through Zapier, SKU.io events can start Mobile Message actions, so important order communication does not depend on someone checking the platform.

Sales Order Shipped can send the customer a dispatch message, while Sales Order Cancelled can explain that an order needs attention. New Customer can create a contact in Mobile Message, and Goods Received can alert a purchasing team member that stock has arrived. Mobile Message can also create a sales order in SKU.io when an authorised request arrives by SMS, provided the incoming message contains the required order information. These are focused one-way workflows rather than a shared database.

Personalise each SMS with the order reference, product details, or next step available in SKU.io. Use Send SMS for customer-facing updates and contact or list actions when the business needs a record that staff can review later.
