Order emails
Order emails into your system, without the retyping
Every order arrives already written. Someone reads it and types it in again, and the one that doesn't fit waits in an inbox. Here's one going through.

Can't be ready by Thursday.
Waiting in the planner's list with the reason, before anyone tells Ravi yes.
A working example: Northvale, a made-up packaging plant. Its customers and orders are made up too.

Your customers change nothing
Whatever shape it comes in
The email itself, a PDF or a spreadsheet attached. Who it's from, what they want, how many and by when.
Report only, to start
Nothing goes into your system until you've watched it get them right.
The same inbox
Customers keep emailing the address they always have. Yours forwards the orders on.
