Approvals inside each store
Roles decide who orders, who approves and who manages. Orders from staff with approval rights are approved automatically, and other orders are submitted for review.
What each one is built for
Two different ordering structures
OrderEase is a B2B ordering platform aimed at suppliers that sell to their customers. That is the structure it is built around, and it is the reference point for this comparison.
ordr.broker is built around a different structure: a head office that publishes one catalogue and places orders through its own stores, franchisees or branches. Each store has its own users and approvers, head office triages and fulfils the orders, and the store sees each status change as the order moves forward.
Neither structure is wrong. The question is which one matches how your orders flow today.
What ordr.broker is built around
The head office and store model in detail
Roles and invitations
Business-level and store-level roles control access. Users are invited by email and join with the permissions their role allows.
Announcements
Head office can message all stores, selected stores or selected roles about products, cut-off times and delivery changes.
Eight-status lifecycle
Orders move from Draft through Pending approval, Approved, Accepted, Processing and In transit to Delivered. Rejected orders are Cancelled.
Single-use discount codes
Head office can issue a percentage or fixed-value code to a specific store, optionally limited to certain products.
Own branded workspace
Each business gets its own workspace with its logo and colours. The interface is available in English and Greek.
Which one fits
How to decide where your orders belong
Choose ordr.broker if the people placing orders are part of your organisation: your own branches, franchisees or internal sites that order from head office. The approval rules, store roles and status visibility are designed for that flow.
If you sell to outside trade customers and want a platform built for that supplier relationship, look at OrderEase alongside other options. ordr.broker can also serve suppliers with trade customers, because each customer outlet can be set up as a store. The b2b ordering portal page explains that model in detail.

Evaluating any alternative
Questions to ask before you choose
Whichever platform you look at, check the same points so the comparison stays fair. Ask who places orders and whether they belong to your business or to outside accounts. Ask how approvals work, including whether staff with approval rights can skip review and whether a change request can send an order back for amendment. Ask how status updates reach the people who placed the order.
Then check how news reaches the people ordering: whether announcements can target all accounts, selected accounts or selected roles. Look at how discounts are issued and whether they are single-use. Confirm how each business's data is kept separate, and which languages the interface supports for your team.
Finally, ask each vendor for a demonstration using your own order flow, not a generic one. A short walkthrough of a real order from draft to delivery will show more than a feature list.

Frequently asked questions
Is ordr.broker a direct replacement for OrderEase?
Not necessarily. OrderEase is a B2B ordering platform for suppliers selling to their customers. ordr.broker is built for a head office ordering with its own stores or franchisees, with approvals inside each store. Which one fits depends on whether your ordering runs from a supplier to its customers or from head office to its stores.
What is OrderEase built for?
OrderEase is a B2B ordering platform for suppliers that sell to their customers. For its current features and pricing, see OrderEase’s own website.
Can ordr.broker serve a supplier with trade customers?
Yes. A supplier publishes one catalogue as the business, and each customer outlet is set up as a store with its own users and approvers. The b2b ordering portal page describes that set-up.
Does ordr.broker support approvals?
Yes. Staff with approval rights in a store approve their own orders automatically, and other orders are submitted for review. An approver can approve, request changes or reject, and a rejected order is cancelled.
How do I choose between ordering platforms?
Start with the structure of your business. If the people placing orders belong to a head office or its franchisees, check approvals, roles and announcements first. If they belong to outside customers, check how catalogues, accounts and orders are shared with them.
