Features mapped to inventory work.
Count, receive, move, report, approve, and reorder without splitting the record across tools.
Feature
Agent-native IMS/OMS
Order3 handles inventory and order work where records need to trigger action. It watches stock, orders, suppliers, locations, and approvals; flags what changed; drafts the next action; and keeps spend and record changes behind human approval.
Feature
Barcode scanning
Scan an item, confirm a quantity, and update the record from the floor. Order3 reads UPC, EAN, Code 128, Code 39, QR, and GS1 DataMatrix from an iOS or Android camera, plus Bluetooth handheld scanners that act as keyboards.
Feature
Multi-location tracking
Multi-location tracking means you can answer 'where is it' without calling someone. One workspace holds stock across warehouses, retail shops, trucks, jobsites, stockrooms, zones, and bins. Each keeps its own balance. Transfers between locations are first-class events, not adjustments hidden inside a global total.
Feature
Real-time reports
A stocker confirms a receipt at 9:47am. By 9:47am, the inventory value report reflects it. Reports in Order3 are queries against the live ledger. Every scan, transfer, count, and approval feeds the same data the leadership team reads. No nightly batch. No reconciliation lag. The number on the floor matches the number in the office.
Feature
Inventory integrations
The first connectors prioritize ecommerce, accounting, and supplier workflows, with the v1 list still being finalized. The shape is consistent: event-driven sync over a documented API, with a mapping layer that surfaces exceptions instead of overwriting silently.
Feature
Mobile inventory app
One hand on the device. One hand on the inventory. The Order3 mobile app is built for that posture: scanning, counting, photographing, and transferring from any iOS or Android phone or tablet. Pair a Bluetooth handheld scanner if you're moving thousands of units per shift; the app treats it as keyboard input and the workflow stays identical.
Feature
Low-stock alerts
Most low-stock alerts are noise. This one shows up with the lead time factored in, the right owner attached, and a next action one click away. Hand off to the purchasing agent for a draft, request a transfer from another location, or dismiss with a documented reason. Dashboards that nobody opens twice were not the goal.
Feature
AI approvals and activity history
Who approved that reorder? When? What did the agent's original draft look like before it was edited? The activity log answers all three from a single search. Every draft, edit, approval, scan, transfer, and integration sync writes to one read-only stream. The entries can never be modified, only added.
Common questions about Order3 features
What's the actual difference vs. Sortly or inFlow?
Sortly is strong for visual item catalogs. inFlow is strong for sales-order workflows. Order3 focuses on the inventory work around counts, locations, reorders, approvals, and audit history. The purchasing agent drafts the reorder before the buyer has to chase it, but the buyer still approves the spend.
Phones and tablets?
Yes. The mobile app is the floor: count, scan, transfer, photograph. Web is the back office: configure, report, approve, set policy. Both stay in sync. Offline capture is on the roadmap; today, Order3 needs a connection.
Which barcodes work?
Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, UPC-A, QR, GS1 DataMatrix all read through the phone camera. Bluetooth scanners that emulate keyboard input plug in cleanly. No separate hardware required to start; teams that move to handhelds usually do it after a few weeks once they know what they need.
What can the agents do today?
They explain, recommend, and draft. Anything that changes a record, sends a supplier message, or spends money waits for a human. Later execution features will sit behind workspace policy, approval rules, and audit logs.
How should I evaluate integrations?
Bring the systems you rely on: Shopify, QuickBooks, Xero, suppliers, 3PLs, spreadsheets, or internal tools. We will confirm the current connector state during the workflow review instead of implying coverage that is not ready.
