Introduction
Managing orders manually through Excel sheets or Facebook messages is a recipe for lost orders and unhappy customers. As your business grows, you need a proper system.
Onnomatra gives you a complete order management dashboard that keeps everything organized in one place.
Using the Order Dashboard
The order dashboard gives you a bird-eye view of all your orders. You can:
- See all pending, confirmed, shipped, and delivered orders
- Search and filter orders by status, date, or customer
- Export order data for accounting or courier handoff
- Generate invoices automatically with one click
Pro Tip: Use the quick filters at the top to focus on orders that need immediate attention.
Status Tracking
Every order moves through a clear pipeline:
- Pending — New order received
- Confirmed — You have accepted the order
- Processing — Order is being prepared
- Shipped — Handed to courier
- Delivered — Customer received the product
- Cancelled/Returned — Order was cancelled or returned
Updating statuses keeps your team aligned and gives customers confidence that their order is being handled.
Customer Communication
Good communication reduces cancellations and returns. Best practices:
- Confirm orders within 1–2 hours
- Share tracking information when shipped
- Follow up after delivery for feedback
- Handle complaints quickly and politely
Onnomatra auto-generates invoices that you can share with customers via WhatsApp or SMS.
Conclusion
Professional order management is the backbone of a successful e-commerce business. With the right tools, you can handle hundreds of orders without breaking a sweat.
- Use a centralized dashboard instead of spreadsheets
- Keep order statuses updated in real-time
- Communicate proactively with customers
- Generate invoices automatically
