Keep all your orders in production under control and let your teams work smoothly and seamlessly together.

Our clients use Client Orders Management Template to get a simple overview of their work items. Every single employee knows what order they need to work on.

Many clients have quite complex order fulfilment processes, which were previously very hard to track. It was very hard for someone to fill in for an employee on vacation. Moreover, company management has to constantly manually check and track where things are.

There were many single points of failures, bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and way too many sync meetings.

The Main Advantages of the Client Orders Management Template

The main benefits our customers see now are:

  • Easy overview of every single order and what state it is in
  • Everybody sees and knows what their tasks are and what to do next
  • Anyone can take over tasks of a missing employee
  • Higher efficiency and throughput of the manufacturing and assembly lines
  • Management can focus on strategic leadership
  • Shorter and less frequent sync meetings
  • More time for productive work, and increased revenue

Our customers using this template are companies building, manufacturing, or assembling customized products. This means companies like furniture manufacturers, lights manufacturers, specialized tooling creators, agriculture machinery producers etc.

Whenever your company gets orders that need to go through multiple process steps (customization, analysis, design, price estimation, etc.), this template can save you a lot of sleepless nights.

This template also implements the principles of Smart Client Management.
