Real Porosi product screens. Customers can order on iOS, Android or the web, and submitted orders appear in the supplier dashboard for review.
ROI route
Build ROI from current operating cost, not vendor claims.
The strongest buying case avoids borrowed percentages and measures how much work changes when customers move from calls, emails and WhatsApp into supplier-owned ordering.
Track adoption quality
Measure which accounts place usable app or web orders rather than counting invites alone.
Review correction work
Compare notes, wrong products, missed delivery details and follow-up calls before and after rollout.
Follow invoice preparation
Check whether cleaner reviewed orders reduce invoice preparation and accounting cleanup.
One order, two perspectives
ROI depends on the supplier workflow behind each submitted order.
A buyer builds the order from the products, prices and history available to their account. When they press submit, baseline order desk time, manual retyping, app adoption and web ordering stay with the order, so the supplier can check it without retyping a call, email or message.
Customer side
Decision teams need
- A clear current-cost baseline before software spend is judged.
- Evidence that customers actually adopt app and web ordering.
- A view of operational savings beyond a simple licence comparison.
Supplier side
Order teams need
- Fewer routine calls, emails and message threads to interpret.
- Cleaner customer, product and delivery detail before fulfilment.
- A way to measure reduced corrections across different customer ordering habits.
What the supplier receives
Measure the business case from before-and-after work.
The supplier team receives one order record with baseline order desk time, manual retyping, app adoption and web ordering. Staff can check exceptions before picking, delivery or invoice preparation begins.
Order desk time
Calls, emails and WhatsApp
Staff interpret and retype routine orders from scattered channels.
App and web ordering
Measure how many repeat orders arrive as structured customer baskets.
Buyer adoption
Invites sent
A sent link does not prove order habits changed.
Usable first orders
Track accounts that place real orders with the right products, prices and delivery details.
Finance cleanup
Late corrections
Invoice preparation inherits missing notes, substitutions or account issues.
Reviewed order next step
Compare how much cleanup remains after dashboard review.
