One order, two perspectives
A phone alternative protects the relationship.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, calls for usual products, voicemail, misheard quantities and delivery date questions and repeated admin stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
