For building material distributors, keeping clients informed about their purchase order (PO) status is critical to maintaining trust and satisfaction. With Buildix ERP’s customer portals, distributors can offer real-time, transparent PO status updates, enhancing communication and streamlining order management.
The Importance of Purchase Order Transparency
In complex construction projects, delays or uncertainties about order status can cause costly disruptions. Customers need clear visibility into where their orders stand—from processing and fulfillment to shipment and delivery. Traditional methods relying on phone or email updates often lead to delays and miscommunication.
How Portals Transform Purchase Order Visibility
Customer portals integrated with Buildix ERP connect directly to backend order management systems, providing instant PO status updates. Features include:
Real-Time Tracking: Clients see current status—processing, picking, shipping, or delivered.
Estimated Delivery Dates: Automated updates inform customers about expected arrival times.
Exception Alerts: Notifications for delays, backorders, or changes in order details.
Historical Order Data: Easy access to past orders and statuses for reference or audits.
Mobile Access: Customers can check PO status on any device, anywhere.
