Order Cycle Time

Total time from order receipt to shipment.

Order cycle time measures the end-to-end duration from when an order is placed to when it’s shipped. This includes picking, packing, and any delays. Shorter cycle times improve customer experience and efficiency. For example, a warehouse fulfilling same-day dispatch aims to keep cycle time under 2 hours per order.
