Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Automation route
The best automation makes the order desk calmer.
Food wholesalers still need judgement around substitutions, cut-offs, delivery notes and account-specific rules, so automation has to make review faster rather than invisible.
Structure before review
Turn routine details into product, quantity, customer and delivery details.
Highlight exceptions
Make unclear lines, unusual notes and changes easier for staff to spot.
Prepare cleaner next step
Move approved orders toward fulfilment, finance and customer follow-up with less re-entry.
One order, two perspectives
Automation must improve both the customer route and the staff day.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, online orders, email lists, WhatsApp messages and texts stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Customers need
- A quick ordering habit that works on mobile or web.
- Familiar support for exceptions and unusual requests.
- Less back-and-forth when routine details are clear.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Fewer orders copied from inboxes and messages.
- A queue that separates routine orders from exceptions.
- Cleaner order data before picking, delivery and invoicing.
What the supplier receives
What matters in automated order processing: operational finish.
The supplier team receives one order record with online orders, email lists, WhatsApp messages and texts. Staff can check exceptions before picking, delivery or invoice preparation begins.
Capture
Scattered channels
Orders arrive across app, email, WhatsApp, phone and PDFs.
Connected queue
Orders move toward a single reviewable supplier workflow.
Accuracy
Manual interpretation
Staff repair product names, quantities and dates under pressure.
Structured draft
Order detail is matched earlier and checked before release.
Scale
More admin
Growth creates more morning backlog.
Controlled automation
Routine work reduces while staff focus on exceptions and service.
Rollout
Prove automation on the busiest part of the morning.
A useful rollout starts where the order desk feels the most pressure, then measures what no longer needs manual processing.
Choose a pressure window
Use the first two hours of inbound orders or another known bottleneck.
Follow exceptions
Check what automation cannot safely resolve and how staff see it.
Measure re-entry removed
Compare how many orders no longer need to be rebuilt by hand.
