Everything that decides whether the job was worth taking arrives after the price is agreed — the freight, the run's real cost per piece, the balance you are still waiting on. Ordamo holds the order for all ten weeks in between and writes the run's actual cost back onto it.
A deposit now, the balance later
Half to get into the workshop diary, the rest when the piece is on the van.
Weeks between the sale and the delivery
Ten weeks — and a card authorization expires in about seven days, which is why a storefront cannot hold this order for you.
A price agreed before the cost is known
You price a table from what the last one cost. The invoice for the run it was built in arrives two months later.
An order that started in a chat
A photo of a room, a width, a timber, a budget. No cart, no checkout, no order number until you make one.
An oak dining table and a bench, quoted to a client in March. Ten weeks from the deposit to the delivery. The figures are invented; the shape is not.
Money in — $4,800 agreed
Money out — quoted at $1,850
The quote implied $2,950 (61.5%). The invoices left $2,710 (56.5%) — $240 less than the job was priced to earn. The run was quoted off last year's timber price and invoiced off this year's, and the crate was never in the estimate at all.
Six pieces were built in one run. How do I know what this table cost?
Record the run as a batch: the workshop payments, the freight, the hardware. When it is received, the total is split across the pieces in proportion to the estimates already on them — a table estimated at four times a chair still costs four times a chair — and that figure is written onto the products and onto open orders still carrying the old estimate.
Do I have to change how I take orders?
No. The order still starts in a DM or an email. Share the screenshot to Ordamo and the assistant drafts it — customer, piece, price matched against your catalog — for you to check and save, or type it in yourself in about thirty seconds.
Does it handle lighting as well as furniture?
The distinction Ordamo makes is between kinds of order, not trades. A pendant made to a client's drop measurement behaves like a table made to a room: agreed in a conversation, paid in two parts, built in a run, delivered weeks later. Stocked items sit alongside, and the deposit and batch features simply do not apply to them.
Named plainly, so you find out here rather than in week two.
No cut lists or shop drawings
Ordamo holds the order, the money and the run. What goes on the bench stays where it already lives.
No timber stock to the board foot
Finished products carry a count you adjust by hand. Materials have none: no board feet, no offcuts, no reorder points.
Delivery is a date, not a route
An order has an expected ready date and a delivery you mark done. No route planning, no crew scheduling.
Built for orders that take weeks to deliver, start in a message and get paid in parts.
Add a customer and their order
Deposit taken, balance still owed, and the date you promised.
Send your customer their order page
One link that updates itself, instead of twenty messages.
Record what the batch cost
What a run really cost, over the pieces it produced. One button puts that on the products it made.
See what you actually made
Revenue, cost and margin per order. Money in, money out, cash on hand.
