How do you track a merchandise separation conveyor with indicators by stage?
In Jestor, the order management template includes a "conveyor" view that shows every order and merchandise being separated, with indicators showing how many items are in each stage: shipping, separating, and separated.
How the conveyor works
Every new order automatically enters the shipping stage. As the team moves through the process, the order gets moved to separating, then separated, and finally delivered. The indicators at the top of the conveyor show, in real time, how many orders are in each of these stages — except for delivered ones, which drop off the tracking since they're already with the customer.
| Stage | What it represents |
|---|---|
| Shipping | Starting stage for every order created |
| Separating | Merchandise being prepared for shipment |
| Separated | Order ready, before being marked delivered |
How to track the separation conveyor
- Go to the "conveyor" area inside the order management app.
- Check the indicators for how many orders are shipping, separating, and separated.
- Move each order forward by clicking "next stage" as it progresses through separation.
- Search for a specific order by ID or by customer name, if needed.

Do already-delivered orders show up in the conveyor's indicators?
No, the indicators only show what's still shipping, separating, and separated, since delivered orders drop off to the customer.
Can you search for a specific order within the conveyor?
Yes, you can search by the order's ID or by the customer's name.
Does moving an order's stage on the conveyor affect the order Kanban?
Yes, the conveyor and the order Kanban reflect the same status, keeping tracking consistent across the whole operation.
