Custom Telegram bots with automated messaging, push notifications, and interactive commands.

## Background
The client runs an e-commerce business and needed real-time Telegram notifications for orders and inventory alerts, plus a way for customers to check order status on their own.

## Problem
Notifications were sent manually in Telegram groups, often delayed or missed. Answering customer order inquiries one by one was slow and labor-intensive.

## Solution
We developed a custom Telegram bot integrated with the client's order system API: automatic push notifications on order creation/shipment/delivery, low-inventory alerts, and instant order tracking by entering an order number. Deployed on an NCSE VPS with scheduled inventory checks.

## Result
Order notifications are now fully automated, drastically reducing support workload. Customers get instant self-service order tracking. Inventory alerts enable faster restocking decisions and reduce stockout risk.

## Metrics
- Automated message handling, reducing manual work
- Multi-command interaction with scheduled broadcasts
