How to Manage Orders Like a Pro

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's-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
  • Open and share an order invoice

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

Open the generated order invoice and share its link with customers through your chosen communication channel.
