Operations cascade · with Otto
From order to cash, without the chase.
Order management is the middle of the operations cascade — where the demand plan becomes real orders, suggested POs, and fulfillment. Otto stages the orders; you approve.
Otto6 orders staged against live coverage — EDI 850s ingested, 1 short flagged for review.
01 · The scramble
Orders arrive by EDI, email, portal, and phone. Someone keys them in, checks stock, chases shorts, and reconciles against what shipped — by hand, under time pressure, every day.
02 · Staged for you
Otto turns the demand plan into suggested orders, ingests EDI 850s, checks coverage against the live supply position, and stages every PO with fill status and exceptions flagged.
03 · Approve and flow
You clear the pipeline in one pass. Confirmed orders send ASNs, trigger deployments, and feed order-to-cash — so invoicing and deductions start from clean, matched data.
Order pipeline
Staged, matched, moving.
Every order — EDI, portal, suggested — in one pipeline with fill status and exceptions flagged. You clear it in one pass; Otto handles the mechanics.
Suggested orders
The order writes itself.
Otto reads the demand plan and current coverage, then drafts the order at the right quantity, DC, and week. You approve; the paperwork follows.
EDI & ingestion
850 in, ASN out — zero re-keys.
Purchase orders ingest, validate, and allocate automatically; sell-through feeds velocity; invoices generate on ship. Nobody types an order twice.
Allocation & coverage
Short? You choose who ships.
When demand outruns supply, allocation becomes a deliberate decision — protect the strategic accounts, see the trade-offs, and let the exceptions explain themselves.
Order-to-cash
Clean data all the way down.
Confirmed orders trigger deployments, ASNs, and invoices — so billing starts accurate and the deductions that follow are matched against real shipment records.
Every order staged, matched, and moving.
Featured · Suggested orders
Otto reads the demand plan and current coverage, then drafts the order — right quantity, right DC, right week. EDI 850s auto-ingest; shorts and exceptions surface before they ship.
