Managing wholesale orders for your bakery can be a complex task, especially when dealing with regular, recurring orders from multiple customers. Whether these orders change frequently or remain consistent, it’s your responsibility to ensure every detail—product, quantity, price, and more—is accurately tracked from production through to fulfillment and billing.

When a customer modifies their regular order, it can be challenging to ensure these changes are accurately reflected throughout your production, fulfillment, and billing processes. Tracking and updating these orders manually can quickly become overwhelming, especially as the number of customers grows.

If you’re currently relying on spreadsheets, pen and paper, or even your memory to manage this, you know how tedious and error-prone it can be.
