ManualOut
Rules & validation

Your rules, checked on every single order

You set the minimums, cutoff times and delivery charges once. ManualOut checks them on every order — including at 8am, when sixty arrive at once.

Why this matters

If only a person checks it, it is not really a rule

Most distributors have a minimum order value. Fewer enforce it every time. And the rule is rarely simple. There is a general minimum, then exceptions for certain accounts, then quiet allowances for the customers nobody wants to upset. All of it lives in one or two people's heads.

The cost is not the delivery charge

A small order takes a picking slot. It takes space on the van. It takes one of a limited number of stops on that route. On a busy day, it pushes out a bigger order.

Holding an order is not refusing it

Rejecting the order is rarely the right move. Two orders from the same customer often clear the minimum together, even when neither does alone. That turns an awkward phone call into a bigger sale. Better for both sides.

In the product

Everything listed here exists today.

  • Minimum order value

    Set a minimum for everyone or per account. ManualOut checks it before the order can proceed.

  • Order merge

    Combine several orders from one customer so they clear the minimum together, with the delivery date handled for you.

  • Order cutoff time

    Orders after cutoff roll to the next working day automatically.

  • Delivery charge rules

    Charges banded by order value, applied without anyone remembering to.

  • Multiple companies and warehouses

    Send each order to the right legal company and the right stock location.

  • Inventory validation

    Stock is checked during processing, so shortages surface early.

  • Repeat orders

    Weekly, monthly or custom schedules that regenerate on their own.

In context

Two orders under the minimum. Together they clear it.

Rejecting a small order loses the sale. Shipping it loses money on the delivery. Combining them is the third option, and it is the one nobody has time to spot at 8am.

Two deliveries become one. The minimum is met, the space on the van is not wasted, and nobody had to make an awkward phone call about a $310 order.

For multi-entity operations

One set of rules across companies, warehouses and accounts

Distributors rarely run one price list from one warehouse. ManualOut applies the right rule for the right account, entity and location, on every order that arrives.

Minimums, global or per account

Set one minimum order value for everyone, or a different one per customer. It is checked before the order can proceed, so the rule holds even when the queue is long and it is tempting to skip it.

Right company, right warehouse

Route each order to the correct legal entity and stock location automatically. Multi-company and multi-depot operations stop depending on someone knowing which is which.

Cutoffs, delivery charges and stock

Orders after the cutoff roll to the next working day. Delivery charges band by order value. Stock is checked during processing, so shortages surface early instead of in the warehouse.

Questions

Rules & validation, answered

Can minimum order values differ by customer?
Yes. There is a general minimum, and any number of per-account exceptions. All of it is checked automatically on every order, rather than living in one or two people's memory.
What happens to orders that arrive after the cutoff?
They roll to the next working day automatically, so an order opened at 11:20 for an 11:00 cutoff is not quietly promised for today by whoever happened to read it.
Does ManualOut handle multiple companies and warehouses?
Yes. Each order is routed to the right legal entity and the right stock location, so multi-entity and multi-depot distributors run a single process instead of one per site.
Can it combine small orders instead of rejecting them?
Yes. Two orders from the same customer often clear the minimum together. ManualOut holds and merges them, with the delivery date handled, turning an awkward phone call into a bigger sale.
