Is your work spread over 7 tools that don’t know each other?

Bookings in one place, messages in another, payments in a sheet. A change stays in one tool before it reaches the people who need it.

Tool logos are examples; they imply no partnership or endorsement.

Era brings them into one place. A few of the apps you can connect

Same week. Same team. A different day.

Loading, trips, delivery and paperwork; vehicles and drivers are planned daily and customers want to know where their load is. Contract customers are invoiced monthly.

Logistics & freight: the same work, today and with Era.

  • Today: Missed orders. An emailed order never entered the production plan. — Era: Order to work order. An approved quote becomes an order, then a work order.
  • Today: Missing materials. Production started; materials ran out halfway. — Era: Stock and supply. Low stock prepares a supplier order draft.
  • Today: Unclear delivery. The customer keeps asking where the order is. — Era: Status updates. Each stage change notifies the customer.
  • Today: Disconnected invoices. The shipment left; the invoice came a week later. — Era: Shipment to invoice. A completed shipment creates the invoice with its terms.

Which orders could be late this week?

Two orders are waiting on materials; one is due Friday. I’ve drafted the supplier order and a note to the customer — I’ll show you both before sending.

Sections on from day one

8 sections switch on together; turn off what you don’t need, add more later.

Before you start

Catalogue → Full truck, Part load, City distribution and Storage. Change a route price there; the freight quote desk uses it for every new quote.

Book a Pickup or City delivery run in the calendar with the shipper’s address and dispatch it to the driver. Drivers (Driver role) mark “On the way”, “Arrived” and “Done” and collect the consignee’s signature.

Automatically: a WhatsApp when the truck is on the way and another when the consignee has signed. Connect your WhatsApp Business number under Inbox → Channels.

Finance → Subscriptions → New: the shipper, the monthly amount and start date. Each month is invoiced on 30-day terms and operations gets a task to plan the runs.

Three days — diesel and truck availability change fast. Change it under Settings → Quotes if your contracts fix prices longer.

Sales, Quotes, Subscriptions, Invoices, Home service, Inbox, Website, AI; 2 ready services and products, 3 teammates, 6 workflows, 19 notification rules and a website theme.
