Order Management
Contents
Who needs digital order management:
A business model was developed and the market was explored. In the next step, products and services were declared and first addresses for acquisitions were procured. Ideally, the first customers as well as the first customer orders will be generated subsequently. The business processes are increasing. Without a supporting technology it does not take long until the workload can no longer be handled by hand.
A software for order management is a sensible solution, as long as it takes at least the following points into account:
Storage of all address-relevant information including contact persons and contact information in the software
Storage of existing articles and services in the software
Creation of customer orders and status management in the software
Meanwhile the collection of additional information, like special places of delivery, certain delivery times or other preferences counts likewise to it.
Advantages and benefits of digital order management
In such a system, all data is located in one central location. Addresses, articles and other master data can be effectively managed in the software and updated as required. In practice, order management is in most cases linked to other systems and processes within a software from the field of "enterprise resource planning or ERP". These include, for example
Billing programs
CRM systems to directly address customer needs
Archiving system for archiving of documents
Applications for digital job management in connection with relevant follow-up processes are mainly based on standard software products. Depending on the size of the company, its orientation and the desired level of digitization, various solutions with different functionalities are possible. If a company grows over time, the requirements and thus the necessary functions of the required solution also grow. It can therefore happen that the previous functions are no longer sufficient over time and a change must be considered in order to take into account the increasing level of information for the company.
