B2B orders don't arrive clean

 

B2B orders don't arrive clean

They arrive as forwarded emails, informal product lists, attached PDFs and last-minute changes. Your sales team reads them, interprets them, re-keys them, and chases the gaps, before an order is even raised.

Relay changes that. It works alongside your sales team, turning unstructured order requests into validated Symphony quotes automatically, accurately, and always with a human in the loop.

What is POP?

POP is your intelligent, automated B2B order assistant. It acts as a digital bridge between your customers' unstructured communications and your structured Symphony Commerce environment.

Instead of forcing buyers into rigid portals or making your sales team manually rekey data from emails, POP lives where your customers already operate.

POP reads informal emails, deciphers complex PDF purchase orders, and understands messy spreadsheets. It then instantly translates that intent into accurate, validated orders ready for processing in your system.

It is not just an inbox parser; it is a context-aware commerce engine that understands your catalogue, your pricing rules, and your customers' historical buying habits.

Made possible by Maestro, Symphony’s AI powerhouse, POP is intelligent, safe and integrates seamlessly into your existing workflows and ecommerce ecosystem.

 
 

How Relay works

 

Relay handles the complexity so your sales team doesn't have to.

01

Request

A customer emails their salesperson with an order request, free text, attached PDF, or both. The salesperson forwards it to Relay. That's the only step they need to take.

02

Processing

Relay reads the email and any attachments simultaneously. It identifies the products, resolves SKUs against your live catalogue, and validates the order against stock levels, account pricing, minimum order quantities and delivery rules, automatically.

03

Clarification

If something isn't clear, a conflicting quantity, a missing product detail, Relay pauses and asks. One email. One question. The salesperson replies naturally, and Relay picks up where it left off.

04

Confirmation

Relay creates a Symphony quote and sends a full order confirmation to the salesperson for review. Every line item, the correct account pricing, delivery address and order total, ready to approve or amend.

05

Commit

The salesperson reviews the confirmation and clicks to confirm. The order is committed in Symphony. The customer receives their order confirmation. No re-keying. No back and forth. No delays.

 
 

Who is Relay for?

Relay is built for B2B merchants, wholesalers and distributors whose sales teams are spending too much time on order admin and not enough time selling.

High-Volume B2B Suppliers

If your inbox is flooded with unstructured order requests that need manual interpretation before they can be processed, Relay eliminates the bottleneck and reduces time to dispatch.

Sales and Account Teams

Relay frees your salespeople to focus on relationships, negotiation and upselling, not acting as highly paid data entry clerks. They stay in control of every order without being buried in the admin.

Complex Catalogue Merchants

If your product lines have complex variants, strict minimum order quantities, or customer-specific pricing tiers, Relay ensures every order is validated against your business rules before it reaches your warehouse.

  • Email and attachment parsing: Relay reads email body text, forwarded messages and attachments, PDFs, spreadsheets and more, simultaneously. However the order arrives, Relay understands it.

  • SKU resolution: No SKU in the email? No problem. Relay resolves product references against your live Symphony catalogue and order history, so informal requests become accurate line items.

  • Live validation: Every order is validated against real-time Symphony data, stock levels, MOQs, quantity increments, customer assortments and delivery options, before a quote is ever created.

  • Guided clarification: When information is missing or conflicting, Relay asks a single, specific question and waits for a reply before continuing. No failed orders. No silent errors.

  • Human confirmation, always: Relay creates quotes, not orders. Every order is confirmed by a salesperson before it is committed, giving your team full visibility and control at every step.

  • Full auditability: Every email, attachment, AI decision and amendment is logged. Your team can inspect the full trail from inbound request to committed order at any time.
