TLO
TLO Queue Overview If ATLAS can't send an order electronically, the system moves it to the Telephone Outplacement Queue (TLO).
TLO orders cannot be transmitted automatically, so an agent must call a florist, share the order details, and set up payment for fulfillment.
Keep in mind: As long as an order remains in TLO, it is not yet in a florist's hands and is at risk of not being delivered on time.
