Why the Order Still Waits After the PO Arrives

A contractor emails a PO. Someone opens it, copies the line items, checks the price for that account, and works out whether the item they wrote down is the SKU your ERP knows. Some of them photograph an order written on the back of a scrap piece of drywall. Then it starts again for the next account, in the next format.

Every account orders differently
Big-box EDI, FCB2B, emailed and faxed POs, portal orders, reps writing orders at the job site. Nothing arrives in the same shape twice, so nothing can be standardized.
The same item has three names
Carrying channel, hat track, U channel. Same item, three names, depending on who ordered it. Their unit isn't your pack quantity. The only person who can reconcile both has done it for 20 years.
Adding a retailer means adding a person
Every new connection lands on the same desk. Order volume and headcount rise together, so the next big account is a hiring decision.

 

 

Work out what manual order entry costs you  ↗

Take the Manual Work Out of Repeat Orders

The order reaches your ERP already checked regardless of the channel it came from. Adding a retailer becomes a configuration, not a hire.

 

One Process for Every Channel

Big-box EDI, FCB2B, emailed POs, your customer portal and your reps all feed the same validated flow. One connection to your ERP, not one per channel.

Multichannel order capture  ↗

 

Catch Mismatches Before the ERP

Product mapping, customer-specific pricing and unit conversions run before the order reaches your ERP. Exceptions route to your team instead of into the ERP.

Let Contractors Reorder Themselves

Give contractors their own catalogue and their own pricing. They repeat an order without waiting for your team to enter it.

What This Covers

What setup do emailed POs require?

We review sample POs to confirm supported formats, document mapping and any setup fees. What's required depends on the documents you actually receive.

Can you support our retail partners' EDI requirements?

OrderEase supports purchase orders, acknowledgments, shipment notices and invoices, including EDI 850, 855, 856 and 810, plus FCB2B for flooring and tile. Documents, mappings and testing depend on your trading partners.

See supplier EDI compliance ↗

Can our customers order through OrderEase too?

Yes. As a seller you can offer B2B ordering to your trade customers. As a buyer you can order through participating suppliers' OrderEase portals. We also connect to Klipboard ERP One, so independent retailers can order supplier stock straight from their POS. Supplier participation and system connections need to be confirmed.

Are we too small for this?

OrderEase fits when you run more than one order channel, carry customer-specific pricing and product codes, and the next retailer connection would otherwise mean another hire. If you receive a handful of orders a month in one consistent format, this is more system than you need.

See pricing ↗

Will this replace our yard or delivery software?

No. This covers B2B order intake and the handoff to your ERP or POS. Yard operations, cut lists, takeoffs and delivery routing need a separate fit review.

What will implementation involve?

Scoping your systems, order formats and business rules, then configuration and testing before go-live. We'll need sample POs, ERP or POS access, and someone who owns your product and pricing data.
