Mailing Lists Order Processing System

Without the right system, handling mailing list orders can be a downright nightmare. Each order involves custom configuration, quantities that change daily, multiple vendors, special pricing arrangements, order tracking, shipping logistics, data processing, billing adjustments, contingent payables, and much more. If that's not enough to drive you crazy, your client expects immediate answers when they call you without warning. How can you keep track of all this information? You need a system that is built from the ground up specifically for handling list orders.
