✱ ONE CONNECTED PIPELINE
Buying and selling are usually tracked in two different places, a notebook for customer orders and a separate one for supplier orders, with inventory caught in between. ZANAVA manages the complete sales and procurement cycle, sales orders, purchase orders and suppliers, with stock that updates automatically as goods move in and out. Nothing has to be re-typed twice.

PIPELINE
ZNV-SAL-02
A high-level look at what Sales & Orders does inside ZANAVA.
Wholesalers and distributors live and die by their order pipeline, but the same problem shows up everywhere: a hardware store waiting on a supplier delivery, a salon reordering stock from a supplier, a restaurant chasing a produce order. ZANAVA's sales and orders module is built for any business that both buys stock in and sells stock out.
Capture customer orders, reserve stock automatically and track them through to fulfilment and dispatch.
Raise POs to suppliers, track outstanding quantities and flag receipt variances when goods arrive.
Keep supplier details, pricing and order history in one place to reorder in a couple of clicks.
A clean picking and dispatch workflow so the warehouse and front counter stay in sync.
The problems that show up before a business puts Sales & Orders in place.
Without automatic reservation, two customers can be promised the same last unit, and someone ends up disappointed.
A purchase order raised weeks ago with no tracking means nobody notices a late delivery until a shelf goes empty.
Without a shared record of supplier pricing and order history, reordering depends on one person remembering the right price and quantity.
Stock that arrives short or wrong goes unnoticed when there's nothing to reconcile the delivery against the original PO.
✱ BEST PRACTICE
A sales order should immediately hold the stock it needs, not just when it ships. That's the only way to stop overselling.
Don't close a PO until you've reconciled what arrived against what was ordered. Variances caught here save disputes later.
Centralising supplier pricing and order history turns reordering from a research task into a two-click action.
Picking and dispatch are different jobs with different failure points. Keeping them as distinct steps in the workflow catches errors before goods leave the building.
✱ WHY IT MATTERS
✱ FAQ
Yes. The moment a sales order is captured, the stock it needs is reserved so it can't be oversold to another customer.
Yes. Every purchase order shows outstanding quantities, and ZANAVA flags variances when goods are received against what was ordered.
No. Any business that both buys stock from suppliers and sells to customers, from a salon reordering product to a restaurant ordering produce, benefits from a connected pipeline.
