Whichever operation style you work with, discrete, process, make-to-stock or make-to-order, Orderwise allows your workflows to function smoothly and your profit margins to flourish.

Helping to solve your problems
Total operational transparency
With Obaby’s sales order processing automated and streamlined, Orderwise has enabled the business’s sales team to spend more time focusing on lead generation and customer service.
- 25% increase in weekly order processing
- 30% increase in annual outbound orders
- 110K orders despatched a year with 5 staff
The estimated costs for everything works nicely and the transaction history shows all the batches that have come in and where exactly they have been used. For the amount we manufacture it does make things easier. We can see works in progress and then a history of exactly what we've manufactured each day.
Orderwise has allowed us to streamline our manufacturing planning process. Now our Manufacturing Services Manager plans the next week or two weeks ahead, builds the BOMs and then everything else is completed on the shop floor by the workers - so it's a whole lot slicker and more efficient.
Without a doubt main benefit for us is the end-to-end traceability of our stock that Orderwise provides. Product expiry dates are not really an issue here either as the controls put in place by Orderwise means we very rarely have expired stock.
