PortalProdigy provides everything you need to centrally create, manage, fulfill, invoice and report on orders. Orders are automatically generated by each of PortalProdigy’s feature components. This includes the shopping cart, event registration, membership registration, exchanges, work orders, maintenance contracts, and other services. Each feature component separates the information that is unique to the feature from the standard transaction information and stores each separately. The transaction information is stored in a standardized order format that can be processed using a single order management screen, payments entry process and financial reporting. This allows you to quickly retrieve, view and edit all orders from one location. You may also manually enter orders directly into order management to process orders not generated by feature components such as product orders taken over the phone or faxed in. Order Management displays all order details including customer information, shipping information, billing information, payment information, salesperson, ordered items detail, and special instructions. See each feature component for a detailed description of the unique information it collects.

PortalProdigy provides several methods for fulfilling orders including an automated batch fulfillment process. Print picking lists, packing slips and fulfillment reports. Inventory is automatically updated.
