Needed a structured online ordering journey with business rules, permit logic, lead time handling, and clear operational notifications.

- Captured key operational details including address, dates, access, waste type and positioning
- Added permit logic, lead-time handling and service checks
- Automated internal operational email notifications
- Created admin tooling and schedule views for managing bookings
- Cleaner customer journey with less checkout confusion
- More complete order information before payment
- Less manual chasing for missing operational details
- Clearer internal notifications for fulfilment

This build needed more than a standard WooCommerce checkout — the ordering journey had to capture the right operational info such as dates, access, waste type, positioning, and permits without overwhelming users.
The key was balancing a simple customer experience with strict business rules and reliable internal notifications, so the team could fulfil orders without manual chasing.
