Your team's time investment across a full order management system rollout is typically 3 to 4 hours per week: one sprint review, async feedback on configuration, and a final quality assurance sign-off. We handle everything else.
The real cost of disconnected operations
Five systems. Four spreadsheets. Zero visibility.
Old Way
- Separate tools for business-to-business orders, direct-to-consumer fulfillment, and marketplace syncing
- Manual re-entry between systems causes errors and delays
- Returns processed in a different queue from the original sale
- No single view of backorders, holds, or fraud flags across channels
- Operations teams spend 40% of their day copy-pasting between dashboards
Redefine OMS
- One queue for business-to-business, direct-to-consumer, marketplace, and program store orders
- Application programming interface, Electronic Data Interchange, and CSV import eliminates manual channel reconciliation
- Returns, edits, and cancellations processed in the same system
- Real-time fraud flags, hold management, and exception queue
- Your operations team works orders instead of managing system friction
How it works

Order ingestion from every channel
Orders arrive in a single normalized queue regardless of source. Application programming interface webhooks, Electronic Data Interchange batches, and CSV imports all produce identical internal order objects.
- Business-to-business portal orders with purchase order numbers and account codes
- Direct-to-consumer storefront orders with customer profiles
- Marketplace channel orders with external identifiers preserved
- Program store orders with budget allocation and approval state

- Pre-orders queued and processed on release date automatically
- Partial shipment invoicing matched to actual dispatched items

Key capabilities
Everything your operations team needs to run orders at scale
Redefine order management system ships with every core capability your team needs. No add-ons required for the features that matter.
Centralized order management
One order queue for every channel. Business-to-business purchase orders, direct-to-consumer checkout orders, marketplace orders, and program store requisitions all flow into the same view with full edit, hold, and cancel capabilities.
Order creation, editing, and cancellation
Create orders manually for phone sales or business-to-business key accounts. Edit line items, quantities, addresses, and payment terms after submission. Cancel or hold in one click with full audit trail.
Multi-channel order import
Import orders via REST application programming interface, Electronic Data Interchange 850 purchase orders, and CSV file upload. All three ingestion paths normalize to the same internal order object.
Backorder and pre-order handling
Accept orders for out-of-stock items and queue them automatically. Pre-orders release on a configured date. Customers receive estimated time of arrival updates throughout the wait.
Fraud detection and hold management
Rules-based fraud scoring flags suspicious orders before they enter the fulfillment queue. Your operations team reviews and releases from an exception queue. No order is silently lost.
Distributed Order Management
One order management system. Every channel. No sync lag.
Other order management system tools consolidate marketplace and direct-to-consumer orders but keep business-to-business portal orders siloed. Redefine receives every order type in the same normalized queue. This is the distributed order management difference.

Retail · EyewearWhat they do
Branded sunglasses and eyeglasses sold across Shopify and external
marketplaces with a high-volume dropshipping model.
Problem
Rapid growth across multiple marketplaces with no system to synchronize
inventory, manage returns, or track orders in real time. Manual processes could not scale.
Result
$0M
Annual revenue achieved after order management system implementation
unified order flow, automated restocking alerts, and eliminated manual channel reconciliation.
Solution
A centralized order management system was implemented to enable real-time order tracking and stock synchronization across all channels. Shopify was integrated with external marketplaces to automate data flow. A custom inventory management system provided automated restocking alerts, consolidated sales tracking, and improved supplier performance visibility.
Why Redefine
Other order management system tools handle orders. Redefine connects your entire operation.
Standalone order management system platforms look strong in isolation. The gap appears when your business-to-business portal, your program store, your content management system, and your reporting all need to speak to the same order data.
| Capability | Typical standalone order management system | Redefine |
|---|---|---|
| Order sources unified | Marketplace and direct-to-consumer only.
Business-to-business portal orders handled separately. | Business-to-business, direct-to-consumer,
marketplace, and program stores in one queue |
| Content management system and storefront integration | Separate systems, sync required | Natively connected to Redefine storefront and
content management system |
| Program store and budget controls | Not available in most order management system
tools | Budget redemption and approval workflows built
in |
| Reporting and analytics | Basic order reports. Advanced analytics sold
separately. | Fulfillment key performance indicators, channel
performance, and exception analytics |
| Workflow automation | Trigger-based rules only. No approval
routing. | Full approval routing and workflow automation
platform |
| Implementation support | Self-serve with optional paid professional
services | Full implementation team included. Sprint 1 in one
week. |

Frequently asked questions
What operations teams ask before switching order management systems
Yes. Redefine order management system is purpose-built to receive orders from business-to-business portals, direct-to-consumer storefronts, marketplace channels, and program stores simultaneously. All orders land in one queue with normalized data regardless of source. This is the core differentiator from tools that handle marketplace and direct-to-consumer orders but treat business-to-business portal orders as a separate workflow.
Orders for out-of-stock stock keeping units are accepted and held in a backorder queue. When stock arrives, the order is released automatically to fulfillment without manual intervention. Customers receive an estimated time of arrival update on the original backorder and a dispatch notification when the item ships. Pre-orders follow the same logic with a configured release date instead of a stock trigger.
Yes. When order line items need to ship from different locations, the order management system splits the order automatically. Each shipment gets its own tracking number. The customer sees a unified order view with status for each shipment. Partial invoicing matches what was actually dispatched so your finance team receives accurate billing data.
Fraud detection uses a configurable rules engine that scores each order on arrival. Thresholds are set per channel type. Orders that exceed your configured score are moved to an exception queue rather than dropped or auto-cancelled. Your operations team reviews flagged orders and either releases them to fulfillment or cancels with a reason code. Full audit trail maintained.
The order management system supports REST application programming interface webhooks for real-time order push, Electronic Data Interchange 850 purchase order format for business-to-business trading partner integrations, and CSV file upload for batch imports from legacy or manual systems. All three ingestion paths normalize to the same internal order object so fulfillment and reporting work identically regardless of how the order arrived.
Sprint 1 begins within one week of sign-off. A standard multi-channel order management system rollout covering channel connections, routing rules, and exception queue configuration runs across 4 to 6 sprints depending on integration complexity. Your team commits 3 to 4 hours per week for sprint reviews and async feedback. The Redefine implementation team handles configuration, integration, and quality assurance.
