SmartRouting — automatic order assignment

How the SmartRouting engine assigns every new order to the right agent: weighted round-robin fairness, product and wilaya rules, daily limits, and workspace-mode-aware staffing.

Two assignment modes

  • Round-robin (default) — every order spreads fairly across the team. Unknown settings always resolve to this, so your default segmentation can never silently change.
  • Rules-first — product rules match first, then wilaya rules, then source rules; anything unmatched falls back to fair round-robin.

Fairness, weights, and limits

When several agents are eligible, the engine picks the one with the fewest assignments today; ties break by who was assigned least recently, then by agent weight. Each agent can carry a daily limit (0 = unlimited) — once reached, they stop receiving orders until tomorrow.

Rules and segmentation

  • Product rules: route orders containing specific products to a specialist.
  • Wilaya rules: route by delivery region.
  • Source rules: route DM/social orders to the agents who handle them best.
  • Rules have priorities; a rule only wins when its target agent is actually available.

When assignment happens

New orders are auto-assigned the moment they arrive (queued, so checkout is never slowed), and a manual “Run auto-assignment” action processes any backlog. Manual assignments are never overwritten by the engine.

Workspace modes

In shared-staff mode the whole team is eligible for every store. In per-store mode, agents pinned to a store only receive that store’s orders; unassigned agents keep serving everyone. Daily capacity is always per-agent across stores.

Frequently asked questions

Will SmartRouting override assignments I made by hand?

No. Manual assignments are never overwritten by the engine — auto-assignment only touches unassigned orders.

What happens if no rule matches an order?

It falls back to fair round-robin across eligible agents. Unknown or invalid settings also resolve to round-robin, so the default behavior can never drift silently.
