Real-time alerts for bracketing behavior

Bracketing is cheapest to stop before the order ships. Once three sizes leave the warehouse, the cost is already spent: picking, packing, freight both ways, and weeks of dead inventory.

Real-time alerts change the timing. When a habitual bracketeer's multi-unit order is flagged at checkout or fulfillment, your team gets options that disappear after shipping: a fit consultation, a sizing confirmation, or a policy reminder before the label prints.

The alert only works if it is smart. Flagging every multi-unit order floods the team with false alarms, since many brackets are innocent. The signal that matters is the customer's history: repeated brackets, low keep rate, prior warnings.

Brands running history-aware alerts report a quieter queue, not a busier one. The system watches every order so the team only touches the handful that history says will come back.
