Creating Orders and Assemblies

In the world of fulfillment, orders can come in from many ways: by batch file, by phone, by email, from a third party storefront. Midnight Fulfillment supports multiple mechanisms for receiving orders into the system for fulfillment.

Online Storefronts:
The ideal solution, online storefronts allow individuals to create an order directly into the system

• Designed to be created by customer support personnel without IT/developer involvement
• Customer reporting available
• Order Tracking
• Address book for frequently used ship-to addresses
• Credit card purchasing
• Cost center, purchase order or GLID capture at order time

Manual Orders:
For orders that come in via phone, email or other non-standard method

• Internal users like CSR’s or Account Managers can quickly enter orders.
• Can be tracked separately for billing at a higher rate than lower-cost order methods

Batch Order Import:
For entry of multiple orders at a time using a standard order layout specification

• Increased automation for you and your customers
• Order review prior to import

Web Service Order Import:
