Take the order, promise only what you really have, deliver it, and bill it — with one record from the order to the money, instead of a book, a chat and a spreadsheet. From $17 per user per month.
An order is a promise: your customer wants these goods, at this price, by this date. Order management software is where that promise lives — so that the person who takes it, the person who packs it and the person who bills it are all looking at the same thing.
Without it, orders live in a notebook, a WhatsApp message and someone's memory. Then you promise stock you don't have, or deliver and forget to bill. PeppyBooks keeps the order from the moment it is taken to the moment the money arrives, and the stock and accounts follow it automatically.
One order, different worries.
Today: Orders are promised from stock that has already been sold to someone else.
With PeppyBooks: Stock is held against the order the moment it is confirmed.
Today: Reps take orders in the market and the office hears about them later.
With PeppyBooks: The order reaches the office as it is taken, on a phone, even offline.
Today: You accept an order without knowing whether you have the material.
With PeppyBooks: The order tells you what material is short before you promise a date.
Today: The website sells what the shop has already sold.
With PeppyBooks: One stock figure for the counter, the vans and the website.
Today: Half went yesterday, half goes Friday — and the billing gets confused.
With PeppyBooks: Part deliveries are normal here: the order knows what is still owed.
Today: You cannot see what is promised, what is packed and what is late.
With PeppyBooks: One screen: ordered, ready, delivered, billed, paid.

Where each is strong: Tally is a genuine strength if your books are already there. Zoho Inventory is a strong dedicated order and stock product, especially alongside Zoho Books. A notebook works until you have more orders than one person can hold in their head. PeppyBooks is best suited when the order, the stock and the accounts should be one record. Compiled from each vendor's published information — last verified 17 July 2026. Features and pricing change and vary by country and plan; please check the vendor's current terms before deciding.

Order management software runs the commercial thread from quote to cash: quotations priced from live stock, sales orders that reserve inventory, fulfilment with picking and delivery documents, invoicing from actual shipped quantities, and collections. Its defining quality is one unbroken document thread — each step generated from the last, so nothing is re-typed and everyone sees the same order status.
Yes — ship what's available, backorder the rest, and invoice from actual shipped quantities.
Yes — confirmed orders reserve inventory so the same stock can't be promised twice.
Yes — e-commerce integrations on the Ultimate plan feed online orders into the same fulfilment queue.
Yes — amendments are tracked with a full audit trail, and reservations adjust automatically.
Returns process against the original order and invoice, correcting stock and receivables together.
