Can I vibe code ShipBob?

Build a multi-warehouse inventory allocation and order routing dashboard in Node.js/TypeScript and React.

DATA MODEL & ENTITIES:
1. InventoryItem: sku (string), barcode (string), dimensions (length, width, height, weight), total_on_hand, total_allocated, total_reserve.
2. Warehouse: id, name, location (lat/lng, address, zip), active_status.
3. StockLevel: warehouse_id, sku, bin_location, quantity_on_hand, quantity_allocated.
4. Order: order_id, store_id (Shopify/WooCommerce), line_items ([sku, qty]), shipping_address (zip, country, lat/lng), status (pending, routed, picking, packed, shipped, cancelled).
5. FulfillmentShipment: shipment_id, order_id, warehouse_id, carrier (UPS/FedEx/USPS), service_level, tracking_number, rate_cost, label_url.

CORE LOGIC & INTEGRATIONS:
1. Multi-Node Inventory Routing Engine:
   - When an order is ingested via webhook (Shopify format), query StockLevel for all SKUs.
   - Calculate distance between customer shipping address and available warehouses containing full order stock using Haversine or Google Distance Matrix API.
   - Route order to the optimal warehouse that minimizes shipping zone distance and avoids split shipments. If no single warehouse has all items, trigger a split-shipment rule.
2. Carrier Rate Shopping API Integration:
   - Integrate with EasyPost or Shippo API.
   - Send package dimensions, weight, origin warehouse address, and destination address.
   - Return sorted list of carrier rates (Ground, 2-Day, Next Day Air). Auto-select lowest cost rate matching customer's selected service tier.
3. Digital Pick/Pack Workflow (WMS Interface):
   - Interactive React UI for warehouse operators.
   - "Pick List" view: display batched orders grouped by bin locations to minimize aisle walking distance.
   - "Pack Station" view: input barcode scans via web input. Validate item barcode against order manifest before enabling the "Generate Shipping Label" action.

EXPLICITLY OUT OF SCOPE:
- Hardware driver integration (assume browser handles standard window.print() for label printers).
- Physical warehouse layout design or automated conveyor control systems.
- Freight management (LTL/FTL).

FAILURE MODES TO HANDLE:
- Race conditions on inventory allocation when simultaneous orders consume remaining stock level (use PostgreSQL SELECT FOR UPDATE or atomic decrement transactions).
- Carrier API timeout during label generation (implement retry queues via BullMQ and fallback carrier logic).
