MODULE 03 · ORDER MANAGEMENT

The queue is the truth.

Once an order leaves the counter it lives here — through plant processing, quality check, ready-for-collection and out the door. Six tabs, live counts, and a history on every record.

IN BOTH PLANSBULK ACTIONSEXCEL IN / OUT
ON THIS PAGE
01
Six tabs

Pending, processing, ready, delivered, cancelled and all — each carrying a live count.

02
Ten actions

View, edit, change status, add payment, print, WhatsApp add-on, export, bulk update, cancel, delete.

03
Full history

Every change timestamped and attributed to the staff member who made it.

04
Excel in and out

Import legacy orders; export everything or just the current filter.

01 / THE LIFECYCLE

Every transition is timestamped and attributed. Nothing moves silently.

Drop-off to delivery, in five states.

The lifecycle is deliberately short. Staff should never have to decide which of fifteen statuses applies — there are five, they run in one direction, and each one has a clear owner at the store.

01PendingBooked at the counter, garments received, not yet sent to the plant. Editable in full — items, prices, delivery date.COUNTER
02ProcessingIn the plant or on the machine. The order is locked to price edits unless the role permits it, so nothing shifts mid-clean.PLANT
03ReadyCleaned, checked and racked. Appears on the front-desk collection list and triggers the customer notification.QUALITY CHECK
04DeliveredHanded over or dropped at the address, with any remaining balance collected at the same moment.FRONT DESK
05CancelledWithdrawn with a reason recorded. Stays in the ledger and in reports rather than disappearing from history.MANAGER ONLY
02 / CAPABILITIES

Built for the twenty-orders-at-once moment, not the one-order demo.

Live submenu counts

All, Pending, Processing, Ready, Delivered and Cancelled each carry a record count, so the backlog is visible before you click.

Bulk status progression

Select twenty finished garments and move them to Ready in one action. The front desk sees them immediately.

Full order detail view

Itemisation, colours, tags, payment breakdown, customer notes and the complete activity history on one screen.

Re-print anything, anytime

Tax invoice, store receipt and per-garment tag slips can be re-printed months later from the same record.

Edit with a trail

Items, prices, delivery dates and statuses can all be corrected — and every correction is written to the audit log.

Export and import

Push a filtered order set to Excel for a client, an auditor or your accountant. Import to migrate historical orders.

03 / ACTIONS PER RECORD

The same verbs appear on every list in the system.

Eight things you can do to an order.

04 / WHY IT MATTERS

The problems this actually removes.

  • No more “is it ready?” callsStatus is visible to the front desk and to the customer on their tracking link, so the phone stops ringing.
  • Stalled orders surface earlyAnything sitting in Processing past its delivery date is filtered in two clicks, before the customer notices.
  • Garment traceabilityColour, tag and item note travel with the order, so a specific shirt can be located without opening every bag.
  • One version of the truthCounter, plant and delivery all read and write the same record. No parallel notebook.

Automated status tracking cuts “is my order ready” enquiries by around 70%.

IN PRACTICE

A plant supervisor filters to Processing, ticks twenty finished garments and moves them to Ready in one action — the front desk sees them on the collection list, and each customer's tracking page updates the same second.
