Automating orders from your online shop and Allegro into the warehouse system
Selling on your own platform, Allegro and other marketplaces requires synchronization. Automation connects these channels to your warehouse and removes manual order retyping.

This process costs you
Realistically you will recover from PLN 0 to PLN 0 a year
Here is the math: salary times the employer cost multiplier 1.2 divided by 173 hours a month gives the hourly rate. That rate times the hours in a year gives the cost of the process. From the recovery we take a band of 40% to 70%, because part of the time recovered on paper comes back as supervising the automation and handling exceptions. This is a deliberately conservative range, not a promise.
Where the hours go
Retyping an order is rarely just pasting an address. You have to check that the item is in stock, match the Allegro product code to the code in the warehouse, set the shipping method, generate the shipping label, then go back to the sales dashboard and mark the order as fulfilled. At ten orders a day that is a few minutes each. At fifty it is half of someone's job.
The second cost does not show up in hours. Retyping by hand produces mistakes: the wrong size, the wrong address, an item sold twice because stock only updated in the evening. A complaint costs more than the order was worth, and on Allegro it also hits your seller rating.
What automation does
Orders from every channel land in one place in the same format. Product codes are mapped once, during implementation, so a “black T-shirt, size L” on Allegro and the item in the warehouse system become the same product from then on. Stock is deducted the moment an order is placed, not at the end of the day, so overselling stops being possible.
Shipping and status travel back the same way. The tracking number goes back to the sales dashboard and to the customer, the order changes status by itself, and the sales document is created from the same data. People stay on the exceptions: an unusual delivery, an incomplete address, a return.
What it costs and when it pays back
Implementation usually falls between 3,000 and 9,000 PLN. Where your quote lands in that range depends mainly on how many systems need connecting and whether each of them has a ready-made API. A shop on a popular platform and a warehouse with an open interface sit at the bottom of the range; a ten-year-old warehouse system that can only be reached through file exports sits at the top.

Frequently asked questions
Usually 3,000 to 9,000 PLN as a one-off. The price depends mainly on how many systems need connecting and whether each of them offers an API. API integrations on the platform range from 1,500 to 10,000 PLN, and this process sits in the middle of that range because it almost always connects more than two systems.
An integration of this size usually takes 5 to 40 hours of work, which is anywhere from a few days to three weeks with one contractor. The most common delay is not building the workflow but waiting for access and API keys from the system vendors.
We support systems with an API or file import/export. Describe your tech stack in the AI Concierge form and we will assess integration options for free.
A professional workflow handles errors: an order that fails goes to an exception queue with a notification for the owner, which prevents downtime.
