00Today

Right now, one order lives in six places.

The register has the quantity. Excel has the rate. The dispatch date is somewhere in a WhatsApp group, and the payment status is in someone's head. So when a buyer asks where their order is, someone calls the shop floor.

ShapedOps puts all of it on one order, on one line. Keep scrolling to follow ORD-2041 — a sample order — from enquiry to payment.

01Enquiry

A buyer asks for a rate. It lands on the line.

Every enquiry becomes an order on the board — with an owner, a value and a place in your pipeline. Already tracking enquiries in Excel? They come in with the import, duplicates flagged.

Your team
Logs the enquiry in seconds, or imports the sheet you already keep.
ShapedOps
Gives it an owner and counts its value in your pipeline.
Your client
Nothing yet — no messages until there's something to say.

02Quote sent + Quotation PDF

The quote writes itself — on your letterhead.

Move the order to Quote sent and the quotation is generated from the order: items, rates, taxes and your terms, under your logo. Nobody retypes it into Word.

Your team
Moves the order to Quote sent.
ShapedOps
Generates the quotation PDF and files it against the order.
Your client
Gets a WhatsApp update and can download the quotation from their tracking link.

03PO received + Agreement PDF

The PO comes in. The paperwork is already done.

Record the buyer's PO against the order and the agreement is generated with it. The client gets an order confirmation on WhatsApp before anyone remembers to send one.

Your team
Records the PO on the order.
ShapedOps
Generates the agreement and sends the order confirmation.
Your client
"Thank you for your order! We've received it…" — on WhatsApp.

04In production

On the floor — and on everyone's screen.

Sales, accounts and the owner see the same status as the floor. The details your shop tracks — heat no., grade, drawing revision — live on the order as custom fields.

Your team
Moves it to In production when work starts.
ShapedOps
Updates the board for everyone and sends the stage update.
Your client
Sees "In production" on their tracking link — no call needed.

05QC & dispatch

Checked, loaded, announced.

Inspection done and the truck booked. Transporter, vehicle and LR numbers sit on the order, and the dispatch update goes out the moment the stage changes.

Your team
Moves it to QC & dispatch and adds the transport details.
ShapedOps
Sends the dispatch update on WhatsApp.
Your client
Knows it's on the way before they think to ask.

06Invoiced + Invoice PDF

Invoice out, payment link attached.

The invoice is generated from the order — no retyping rates or quantities — with a Razorpay payment link. If it goes overdue, reminders go out at 30, 60 and 90 days.

Your team
Moves it to Invoiced.
ShapedOps
Generates the invoice with a pay link and schedules overdue reminders.
Your client
Pays online from the invoice or their tracking link.

07Payment collected + Receipt PDF

Paid. Receipt issued. Order closed.

When the payment is collected, the receipt is generated, the order closes and it counts toward this month's closed revenue in your analytics.

Your team
Moves it to Payment collected.
ShapedOps
Issues the receipt, closes the order and updates revenue.
Your client
Downloads the receipt from their tracking link.

✓One line

Seven stages. Four documents. Nothing retyped, nobody chased.

That was one order. Every order moves the same way — and the stages, documents and messages are shaped around your business during setup.

QuotationAgreementInvoicePayment receipt Completion certificatesNDAs & retainer agreements

Sample order and documents shown. All on your letterhead, filed against the order, downloadable by your client.

02Your client's side

Your client stops calling. They already know.

Updates reach buyers on WhatsApp, where they already are. One tap opens their order — current stage, documents to download, invoices to pay. Nothing to install, no login to remember.

  • A
    WhatsApp at every stage

    Order confirmations, stage changes and payment reminders, sent from message templates you control. WhatsApp order updates

  • B
    A tracking link per order

    Stage, documents and invoices in any browser, with your logo on top.

  • C
    Pay online

    Invoices carry a Razorpay payment link your client can pay from.

03Around the order

Everything around the order, handled too.

The back-office work that usually lives in someone's notebook — collections, the morning check-in, onboarding old data, who brought which deal in.

01

Payments chased on a schedule

Invoices your clients can pay online, and a WhatsApp reminder at 30, 60 and 90 days overdue — one per milestone, never a daily nag.

02

A briefing before the first call

Open ShapedOps and see what moved yesterday and this week — new enquiries, orders won, payments in — before the phone starts ringing.

03

Bring your Excel with you

Import the parties and orders you already keep in sheets. Possible duplicates are flagged before anything is saved, so you start clean.

Moving off Excel
04

Team, sales partners and freelancers

Staff get their own logins. Sales partners and freelancers are tracked against the deals they bring in, with their agreements generated for them too.

05

Numbers that stay current

Pipeline value, closed revenue, conversion rate and six months of revenue — calculated from the orders themselves, not rebuilt in a spreadsheet at month-end.

06

Yours to shape — and to take with you

Custom fields for whatever your business tracks, your branding on everything clients see, and a full data export whenever you want it.

04Industries & stages

Starts from a template. Ends up sounding like you.

ShapedOps ships with stage templates for the way different businesses move an order. During setup we rename stages, choose which documents each one issues, and add the fields you track.

08Questions

Questions owners ask us.

Something not covered here? Message us on WhatsApp at +91 90998 67128.

We run everything on Excel, registers and WhatsApp today. Is that a problem?
No — that's exactly who ShapedOps is built for. During setup we import the Excel sheets you already keep and shape the stages around how your orders move today, so your team doesn't have to change how it works first.
Is ShapedOps a CRM?
It covers what a CRM does — enquiries, follow-ups and a pipeline — but it's built around the order: production, dispatch, documents, invoices and payment collection. Think of it as an order-to-cash system shaped to your stages.
Do our clients need to install anything?
No. Updates reach them on WhatsApp, and their order tracking link opens in any browser — no app and no login.
Will documents carry our letterhead?
Yes. Your logo, company details and colours are set up once, and every quotation, agreement, invoice and receipt is generated with them.
Which WhatsApp and payment providers do you support?
Online payments run through Razorpay. For WhatsApp, we connect a WhatsApp Business provider during setup so updates go out automatically; without one, every account still gets click-to-chat, where the message is written for you and sent with one tap.
How is ShapedOps priced?
As an implementation, not a per-seat subscription: a one-time implementation fee plus a monthly maintenance fee, scoped to your locations, team and modules. You get a written proposal within 2–3 business days of a discovery call.
Do you work with businesses outside India?
Yes. We're based in Ahmedabad, India, and work with manufacturing and trading businesses anywhere in the world — setup, training and support all happen online.
Can we take our data out?
Yes. Owners can export their data from settings at any time.
