order management software
Optimize your ordering process with efficient order management software
Orders by email, scattered information, approvals that are delayed. Many purchasing departments are familiar with this daily chaos. Our order management software brings order to the system: it guides every order safely to its destination, like a navigation system through the procurement process. Every step is documented, every status immediately visible. This allows you to maintain an overview at all times and ensures that your ordering system runs efficiently and transparently.
What is order management software?
Definition
Order management software turns complex procurement processes into clear, digital workflows. It centrally controls all steps: from requisitioning and approval to tracking. Automated workflows speed up decisions, avoid duplicate entries, and increase transparency throughout the entire ordering process. This gives companies control over costs, time, and quality, and makes their procurement management efficient, secure, and traceable.
Process orders digitally
Important software features
Enter orders – quickly and in a standardized manner
New requirements are entered directly into the system, completely and uniformly. To speed up processes, existing orders can be easily copied as templates. This ensures that orders are started consistently, error-free, and significantly faster.
Order search – clear and centralized
With intelligent search, you can keep track of all orders. Whether it's status, supplier, or time period—all information is centrally available and can be found in seconds. This ensures transparency and saves valuable time.
Order file – complete & traceable
Each order receives its own digital file—including documents, notes, approvals, and communications. This creates a complete overview of the entire process, which is audit-proof and centrally documented.
—automated and rule-based
Defined approval processes automatically forward orders to the right people, depending on the amount, project, or cost center. This speeds up decisions, increases security, and reduces manual intervention.
Send order – directly & error-free
Once approved, the order is automatically generated in the system and can be sent to the supplier with a single click. All data is transferred, ensuring that shipping processes run smoothly, correctly, and without duplication of work.
Archive orders – audit-proof & compliant
Every order is automatically archived and remains accessible in the long term. Complete versioning and traceability ensure legally compliant documentation at all times and throughout the entire order cycle.
Straight through the ordering process
The advantages of order management software at a glance
Digital order management is like a navigation system for your purchasing: it shows you the best way to get requirements, approvals, and orders to their destination quickly, securely, and traceably. This turns time-consuming coordination into clear processes—automated, transparent, and efficient.
- Automation: Manual steps are eliminated: demand recording, checking, and approval run in the background based on rules. This saves time, reduces errors, and speeds up the entire ordering process.
- Compliance & security: Role and rights concepts, automatic checks, and audit-proof archiving ensure compliant working practices—traceable and GDPR-compliant.
- Efficient collaboration: Purchasing, specialist departments, and approval bodies work in a central system. Comments, documents, and tasks are bundled in one place and can be accessed at any time.
- Integration & connectivity: The software integrates seamlessly with existing ERP and accounting systems. This ensures data consistency and eliminates duplication of work.
- Transparency: Every order is fully documented—including status, approvals, and history. Dashboards and reports provide a real-time overview of all processes.
The key lies in digital ordering processes: rule-based approvals, transparent histories, and audit-proof documentation reduce risks and speed up decisions.

How the ordering process works
A clear route instead of a paper maze
Ordering processes without a system are like driving without a map. With digital order management, it becomes a clear, automated journey: every step is traceable, every turn is documented, and every destination is reached safely.
New purchase requisitions are created directly in the system—complete, standardized, and with the option of using previous orders as templates. This ensures that every ordering process starts uniformly and error-free.
The purchasing department checks the purchase requisition for completeness, plausibility, and possible framework agreements. This ensures that every order is processed economically and in compliance with regulations.
Defined approval processes automatically forward the order to the responsible persons—with clear responsibilities and transparent status. Substitution logic and reminders ensure smooth processes.
The order is automatically generated in the system after approval and can be sent to the supplier with a single click.
All orders are archived in an audit-proof manner—with audit trails, versions, and comments. Analyses provide valuable insights into cost centers, supplier performance, and process quality.
