Repeat route recommended
Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
Capture route
Offline capture must reduce retyping, not create blind automation.
Manual channels still matter for urgent or awkward orders. The useful system makes those inputs easier to review and gives repeat buyers a cleaner path next time.
Keep source context
Show where the order came from and what detail is still uncertain.
Review before next step
Check products, quantities, prices and delivery notes before fulfilment or finance depends on them.
Move repeat demand
Use app and web ordering for customers whose usual baskets do not need another manual channel.
One order, two perspectives
The capture system must make the office day calmer.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, phone calls, WhatsApp orders, text messages and voicemails stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Customers need
- A practical route when they cannot use app or web.
- A cleaner repeat-order option for normal baskets.
- Service continuity for unusual requests.
Supplier side
Supplier teams need
- Fewer orders rebuilt from scattered channels.
- Visible uncertainty before picking, delivery or invoicing starts.
- A clear list of accounts still creating manual pressure.
What the supplier receives
What matters in offline capture: what no longer has to be retyped.
The supplier team receives one order record with phone calls, WhatsApp orders, text messages and voicemails. Staff can check exceptions before picking, delivery or invoice preparation begins.

Scattered channels
Orders arrive in calls, chats, inboxes and attachments.
Tagged capture
The source and required checks stay visible.
Review
Manual reconstruction

Adoption
Permanent workaround

Rollout
Start with the offline channel causing the most cleanup.
A useful pilot does not need every channel on day one. It needs the channel that currently creates the most retyping and correction work.
Choose the pressure source
Pick WhatsApp, phone, email, PDF or voicemail based on current order-desk time.
Run real examples
Use live-style orders with customer shorthand, missing detail and delivery notes.
Measure retained admin
