One shop, one week

Follow one order, start to finish.

No feature names. A shop with five people, an order that lands at eleven at night, and what happens to it by Thursday — the way it goes today, and the way it goes with Oryza.

  • The owner

    Wants to know what is stuck and how much money is out there.

  • The manager

    Hands out the day’s work and chases what is late.

  • Order agent

    Calls customers and confirms what they actually want.

  • Delivery agent

    Books couriers and deals with failed attempts.

  • Settlement agent

    Matches what the couriers paid against what they owed.

How it goes today

How it goes with Oryza

  1. Sunday 11:04pm

    The order arrives

    It sits in the shop panel. Nobody sees it until someone opens the laptop in the morning, and by then three more have come in.

    It lands on the desk the moment it arrives, marked as nobody’s, so the first thing anyone sees in the morning is what has no owner.

  2. Monday 9:20am

    Somebody has to call

    The manager reads out order numbers. Two people call the same customer. One order is missed entirely and nobody finds out until the customer complains.

    The manager gives it to one agent with a time on it. It is that agent’s job until it is done, and everyone can see whose it is.

  3. Monday 9:41am

    The customer confirms

    The agent writes it in a notebook, or a group chat, or remembers it. If they are off tomorrow, nobody knows what was agreed.

    What was agreed goes onto the order itself — the address change, the size, the promise to call back. The next person reads it instead of asking again.

  4. Monday 12:40pm

    The courier is booked

    Someone copies the address into the courier’s website. If the booking is rejected the tab is already closed, and the parcel sits on the floor for two days.

    Booked from the order in one step. If the courier rejects it, that becomes a job on the desk with someone’s name on it, not an error nobody read.

  5. Wednesday 4:10pm

    The delivery fails

    The courier’s app says failed. Nobody is watching the courier’s app. The customer waits, then cancels.

    The failure comes back onto the order and becomes the next job: call the customer, book again, or take it back. Somebody owns it that afternoon.

  6. Thursday 11:00am

    Half of it comes back

    The goods return to the shelf. What the courier now owes you is different from the invoice, and nobody adjusts anything.

    The returned item goes back into stock and the amount the courier owes drops by exactly that much, on the record, with the reason attached.

  7. Thursday 6:30pm

    The money is counted

    The courier’s statement is compared to a spreadsheet, late at night, once a week. Short payments are found weeks later, if at all.

    Expected, collected and settled sit side by side per order. What is short is short today, with the evidence next to it — and the order stays open until it matches.

That is the whole product. Everything else on this site is a detail of one of those seven moments.
