Order intake for manufacturers

The problem

Your Inbox Was Never Designed to Manage Production

Manufacturing companies receive purchase orders, revisions, delivery requests, and customer questions through email. Those messages sit beside promotions, internal notes, and unrelated conversations, so the detail that matters is easy to lose.

  • Missed customer orders
  • Manual data entry
  • Incorrect order information
  • Delayed approvals
  • Lost order revisions
  • Scattered customer communication
  • Production teams working from outdated information

The solution

One Place for Every Order, Update, and Decision

Order Ledge collects customer orders from email, extracts the important information, creates structured order records, and keeps every message, attachment, approval, and production update connected.

Capture

Collect orders from email bodies, PDF files, spreadsheets, documents, and scanned purchase orders.

Review

Allow managers to verify, edit, approve, reject, or request clarification before production begins.

Connect

Send approved order information to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, databases, and custom systems.

Track

Follow every order from the first customer email through approval, production, dispatch, and completion.

How it works

From Inbox to Production in One Clear Workflow

Six connected steps take an order from the customer email to the production floor.

  1. 1

    A customer sends an order

    Your customers keep emailing purchase orders, revisions, and delivery requests exactly as they do today.

  2. 2

    Order Ledge reads the email and attachments

    The message body, PDF files, spreadsheets, documents, and scanned purchase orders are all read for order details.

  3. 3

    Order information is organized into a structured record

    Customer, reference, line items, quantities, specifications, and requested dates land in one clear order record.

  4. 4

    A manager reviews and approves the order

    Your team verifies the details, edits anything that needs correcting, and approves or requests clarification.

  5. 5

    Connected business systems are updated

    Approved order information flows into SharePoint, Excel, Google Sheets, databases, and internal applications.

  6. 6

    Production receives the approved order

    The floor works from one confirmed record, with every attachment, note, and revision attached to it.
