Free-text email orders, attachments, missing product codes, manual entry and back-and-forth confirmations should be tested as a real customer journey, not described as a generic ecommerce checklist.
Inbox route
Email is a poor place to manage repeat wholesale orders.
Email orders can hide urgent details in inboxes, so suppliers need a cleaner ordering route without removing account service. Email can work for conversation, but routine ordering needs product, account and delivery detail captured in a structured way.
Porosi is not a consumer takeaway marketplace. It is a white-label ordering platform for suppliers that need customer-specific pricing, repeat order history, app and web continuity, and dashboard workflows that the supplier team can operate every day.
Capture product lines
Reduce missing codes, quantities and delivery dates before staff review.
Keep account context
Products and prices remain connected to the customer account.
Centralise review
Supplier staff see orders in the dashboard rather than an inbox pile.
Two-sided adoption
Email replacement should reduce inbox archaeology.
Porosi helps food suppliers move routine orders into branded app and web ordering while staff manage exceptions in the dashboard. For trade customers who email lists, spreadsheets, order notes and repeat requests, that means the ordering route should respect familiar products, usual quantities, customer prices and delivery detail. For the supplier team, it means orders should arrive in a form that is easier to review than a message thread or handwritten note.
Email-ordering customers need
- A web route for larger orders and purchasing teams.
- Products and previous orders instead of old attachments.
- Clear submission without waiting for an email response.
Supplier teams need
- Less searching through inboxes for urgent orders.
- Fewer missing product codes, quantities and dates.
- A review workflow that supports customer service.

Implementation
Start with customers sending recurring lists or attachments.

A practical rollout for food suppliers replacing inbox-led ordering should use free-text email orders, attachments, missing product codes, manual entry and back-and-forth confirmations and the customers most likely to adopt first. That prevents a polished demo from hiding workflow problems that only appear when live accounts start ordering.
