The Hub / Orders & enquiries

No order missed. No enquiry left hanging.

Every order, enquiry and request goes into the Hub the moment it comes in, with who it's for, what's been promised and what happens next. If it goes quiet, the Hub says so before the customer does.

How an order moves through the Hub

Logged

From a call, an email, a site request or a client. Thirty seconds to add.

Sent

To the supplier, or a reply to the customer. A pre-written email is ready to go.

Waiting

The Hub counts the days. Nothing silently stalls.

Chased

When it goes quiet, it turns amber on the overview with a Chase button.

Confirmed

Delivery date or agreed price recorded; a job is created if something needs doing.

Closed

Delivered, invoiced or declined. Searchable for as long as you want it.

Supplier orders

Know what's coming, and what isn't

Site asks for materials, the office orders them, and then everyone waits. The Hub keeps the order, the supplier, the date promised and the delivery date together, so the one that never got confirmed shows up on the overview instead of on site on Monday morning.

  • Site staff can raise a request from their phone; the office turns it into an order
  • Expected delivery dates on a calendar
  • Every chase recorded, so you know what you said and when
Customer enquiries

Reply quickly, every time

An enquiry that waits three days for a reply usually goes elsewhere. Every enquiry sits in one list with how long it's been waiting, and the reply is pre-written in your tone so the office only has to check and send.

  • Emails and messages drafted for you
  • Quotes and follow-ups tracked to a yes or a no
  • See how many enquiries turn into work

What each person sees

The office

  • Every order and enquiry, with how long it's been waiting
  • Chase and reply reminders on the overview
  • Pre-written replies in your tone
  • Delivery calendar
  • Full history per customer and per supplier

Site staff

  • Raise a materials request in a few taps
  • See when their order is confirmed and when it's due
  • Nothing about prices or other sites

Why this matters

The forgotten order

The one that was "definitely sent" but never confirmed. The Hub flags it on day two, not when the site is stood down.

The slow reply

Enquiries get answered the same day because the reply is already written.

Who said what

Every chase, promise and change is on the order. No digging through emails.

Questions about orders and enquiries

Does it replace our accounts software?

No. The Hub tracks the order from request to delivery. Invoicing stays in whatever you use now, and we can note the invoice number on the order so the two match up.

Can a supplier see it?

Not unless you want them to. By default it's internal. We can send the supplier an email from the Hub and record their reply.

Who writes the pre-written replies?

We set them up with you in your words during the build. The office checks each one before it goes, and can change anything.

Can customers send enquiries into it directly?

Yes, from a form on your website, so an enquiry arrives in the Hub already logged and timed.
