The Problem: Manual Chaos in a Growing Business
Ecardz, a print and card manufacturing business, was managing their entire operation through spreadsheets, email threads, and manual tracking. As their customer base grew, this approach created serious bottlenecks:
Staff spent hours searching through emails to find quote details
No visibility into where orders were in the pipeline
Manual calculations for every quote led to errors
Customer information scattered across different files
Delayed responses hurt customer satisfaction
Impossible to scale without hiring more staff
The Solution: Custom Order Management System (OMS) with Quote-to-Cash Automation
We built a custom Order Management System (OMS) designed specifically for Ecardz's print manufacturing workflow. The system automates the complete quote-to-cash cycle, handling everything from creating quotes to tracking orders through production and delivery.
What It Does
- Smart Quote Builder: Create professional quotes in minutes with automatic tax calculations and one-click email sending
- Visual Order Pipeline: See all orders at a glance on a drag-and-drop board that shows exactly where each job is in the process
- Customer Database: All customer information in one place with full history of quotes and orders
- Product Catalog: Maintain your product list with descriptions and pricing that can be quickly added to any quote
- Real-Time Dashboard: Track key metrics like quote values, conversion rates, and revenue at a glance

The new system delivered immediate improvements across every aspect of Ecardz's operations.
