How Quotes and Orders Work Together in Saldio
From the first quotation to the final order: how Saldio centrally connects sales workflows.
In many businesses, a sales workflow starts with a quotation. Only afterwards are created:
- orders
- delivery notes
- invoices
- payments
- accounting entries
Nevertheless, these steps are often processed across different systems or through manual workflows. This creates:
- duplicate data entry
- limited visibility
- disconnected processes
- incomplete customer histories
Why Integrated Sales Workflows Matter
A seamless sales workflow provides:
- fewer manual tasks
- better visibility
- faster processes
- higher data quality
- more transparent customer workflows
The better quotations and orders are connected, the more efficient the entire sales process becomes.
The Typical Challenges
Many businesses regularly face situations such as:
- quotations entered multiple times
- changes getting lost
- orders not matching quotations
- information transferred manually
- documents stored across multiple locations
- incomplete customer histories
As customer and project volumes increase, complexity grows significantly.
The Saldio Approach
Saldio connects:
- quotations
- orders
- invoices
- documents
- customers
- accounting
within one integrated workflow.
This keeps information centrally available and fully traceable.
1. Create Quotations Centrally
Quotations can directly be created inside Saldio. Examples include:
- services
- products
- project work
- custom line items
- discounts
- payment terms
This creates one centralized sales foundation.
2. Convert Quotations Directly into Orders
Once a quotation is accepted, it can directly become an order. The following information remains connected:
- line items
- prices
- quantities
- texts
- customer information
This information is transferred automatically. This significantly reduces duplicate data entry.
3. Transparently Manage Changes
Saldio documents:
- changes
- versions
- adjustments
- status changes
This keeps the entire history transparent.
4. Connection with Invoices and Projects
Orders remain directly connected to:
- invoices
- projects
- services
- documents
- payments
This creates a complete sales workflow.
5. Transparency Across the Entire Workflow
The system provides visibility into:
- open quotations
- active orders
- statuses
- open invoices
- customer histories
This significantly improves visibility.
