How do customers place orders with you?
Some customers call a representative who knows their account. Some buy through an online store. Regular customers may prefer a private portal with their own prices. Others simply repeat the same order as last time.
Maybe more importantly, how do you want customers to order from you? Tall Emu provides a number of options depending on how you work right now, along with tools to help you expand in future.
Phone, email and account reps
Our team takes the order
Hi, it’s Dave from Smith Engineering. Send another two boxes of the filters we bought last month.
The customer already knows what they want. My job is to enter the right products, use the right price, confirm what we can supply and get the order moving.
If your customers just call in and place orders, you don’t need to run them through quotes or pipeline. Tall Emu helps order takers get orders in and out the door quickly.
Portal, ecommerce, representative and repeat orders all arrive in the same place. The Sales Order gives everyone one record for stock, credit, purchasing, manufacturing, fulfilment and delivery.
Link purchasing and manufacturing to the customer order
Every Purchase Order and Work Order created to fulfil a sale stays linked to that customer order. Open the sale to see what must be bought or made, or open the supply record to see which sale it supports.
Phone, representative, web and portal orders all use the same workflow. One order record drives the buying, making and shipping.
Each order also shows its percentage fulfilled. At a glance, you can see whether the next action is to buy it, build it or ship it. One sale can have 200 linked Purchase Orders and 30 linked Work Orders, and Tall Emu keeps every one tied to the customer order it supports.
As products arrive or manufacturing is completed, the relationship stays clear. Sales and operations can answer the customer without matching separate records by hand in MYOB or Xero.
Keep the customer informed
Order confirmation is only the beginning. Tall Emu can keep the customer-facing and internal history connected as the order moves through payment, stock, fulfilment and delivery.

Common questions
Questions business owners ask about sales orders
Does Tall Emu suit businesses that mostly take repeat orders rather than run a pipeline?
Yes. Regular orders don’t need a sales pipeline. Find the customer, apply the right price, check stock and get the order moving.
Can I apply account-specific pricing and quantity breaks to an order?
Yes. Orders can apply the customer's price type, special prices, quantity breaks, discounts and currency, with permissions controlling who can change them.
What happens if a customer is over their limit or on credit stop?
Tall Emu warns when a customer is over their credit limit, outside their payment terms or on credit stop. Credit controls can stop the order moving ahead or prevent a shipment from being generated until the account is cleared.
What payment options can I use on an order?
Use account terms, full payment, a deposit, progress payments or a payment link, depending on the sale.
How does an order reach MYOB or Xero?
Sales orders stay in Tall Emu. When the order is invoiced, the invoice and payment information sync to MYOB or Xero, so the sale isn’t entered twice.
