How to Build a Quote-to-Order Flow

To build a quote to order flow, the quote and the order must share the same product catalogue and the same client record. Retyping between them is where errors and delays come from.

Why quoting and ordering drift apart

They are often built as separate processes, by different teams, at different times.

  • Prices quoted from a list that is out of date
  • Client details entered twice, slightly differently
  • Approved quotes retyped as orders
  • No visibility of which quotes converted

What the flow should share

Shared elementWhy it matters
Product cataloguePrices and codes maintained once
Client recordOne record, referenced by both
Line itemsCarried from quote to order without retyping
StatusConversion visible as a pipeline stage

How to build it in Jestor

  1. Register products and clients in Omie so they appear automatically in Jestor.
  2. Build the quote with line items and quantities, selecting from the shared catalogue.
  3. Link the quote to the client record so their full history is available.
  4. Move the quote to an order stage rather than creating a separate record.
  5. Track conversion as a pipeline indicator, alongside open and awaiting-classification quotes.

Why Jestor is the best complement to Omie for commercial flows

The connection is native, with no intermediary service — which is why a product created in Omie is immediately selectable on a quote, with no sync step that could fail.

Because quotes and orders reference the same client record, a customer's full commercial history is visible from their card rather than assembled across systems.
