About Order3
Order3 helps small and mid-sized teams keep clean records, run fast floor workflows, ask direct questions about inventory, and use AI agents to prepare work without taking control.
Everything below describes how we work and what we are building, not customer counts, funding rounds, or marketing claims we cannot back.
Why we are building this
We spent a decade building inventory and order management for exactly these teams. TradeGecko was acquired by Intuit, became QuickBooks Commerce, and was later wound down. The gap it filled, between spreadsheets and ERP, is open again. We know it well, so we came back for it.
Most AI software is a chat box bolted onto old workflows, more slop to manage. We think there is a new way to build. Software that does the work itself, reconciles the counts and drafts the POs, and makes the person running it better at the job, with their approval on anything that matters.
We love commerce and the people who run it: entrepreneurs, manufacturers, brand owners. Building AI-native software with agents at the core is our version of carving wood, done slowly and by hand for people who do real work. It is also the most fun we have ever had building software.
What AI means in practice
AI in Order3 explains, recommends, and drafts. Agents can answer questions about stock, suggest reorders, and prepare draft purchase orders or count plans, but anything that changes records or commits spend waits for human approval.
Explain records, movement, and policy context.
LaunchRecommend reorders, counts, forecasts, and next actions.
LaunchDraft purchase orders, invoices, messages, and reconciliation steps.
LaunchExecute low-risk reversible actions under policy.
LaterExecute controlled operations with mandates, approvals, and activity history.
LaterBroad autonomy is explicitly not part of v1.
Out of scopeHow we work
We ship weekly, work directly with operators, and treat every reorder mistake or count variance as a product spec.
Inventory work happens on aisles, trucks, jobsites, and stockrooms, not in admin screens. Order3 is designed for the people doing the counts, not the consultants configuring them.
Every movement has a cause. Every change has a record. Stock, locations, and reorders become questions the team can answer in seconds, not topics someone has to investigate.
AI helps prepare reorders, surface low stock, and answer inventory questions, but it works on top of clean records, with traceable reasoning, and with human approval on anything that matters.
Order3 is for small and mid-sized teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not want a heavy ERP, including warehouse, retail, construction, medical, manufacturing, field service, and 3PL operations. The product fits best when there are multiple locations, multiple users, or repetitive reorder work that is starting to cost money.
It means the AI works on top of the inventory records, not a separate chat layer. Operators can ask questions about stock, locations, and movements; agents can prepare reorder drafts, surface exceptions, and summarize activity. Today the agents explain, recommend, and draft for approval. Any future execution mode needs clear policies and human review.
Yes, and an alternative to inFlow, Zoho Inventory, and inventory-by-spreadsheet. Sortly is great for visual catalogs and simple teams. Order3 is the option once a team needs reorder help, multi-location workflows, approval history, and AI-assisted operations across more than one stockroom.
The core inventory, locations, scanning, alerts, reports, and AI assistant features are live; we are adding integrations, deeper agent workflows, and broader compliance posture as we work alongside operators. Pricing, security claims, and integration coverage are published only when we can stand behind them.
