Ordering Application
Product Ordering — the NaaS Way
PRODUCT ORDERS
All Ready-to-Go
Order Submission & Processing
The Ordering Application enables buyers to submit fully structured product requests imported from the Catalog, containing all the actionable details sellers need—technical attributes, commercial terms, installation locations, and lead times—ensuring swift submission, seamless processing, and a unified flow from request to acceptance.
PRODUCT READINESS
All In-Sync
Readiness Progression & Updates
The Product Readiness workflow aligns sellers and buyers around the steps needed to bring an order into production, allowing sellers to finalize service-specific technical attributes, set and update expected completion dates, and progress through structured readiness states while buyers receive continuous updates—creating a predictable, synchronized path to activation.
SHARED ENVIRONMENT
All Digital
Cloud & GUI-API
Everything runs in a modern, cloud-hosted environment operable via both GUI and API—used interchangeably—giving sellers and buyers the flexibility to interact through a graphical interface or programmatically, with a single API integration needed to reach any partner, enabling a gradual transition to a more scalable and automated NaaS-based model.

One Workflow, Two Roles
With the full product configuration—from technical attributes and commercial terms to installation location and lead times—directly imported from the Catalog, orders can be swiftly submitted by buyers and seamlessly processed by sellers.

A Coordinated Sequence of Product Readiness Milestones
Product Readiness is where the final, service-specific technical attributes are completed and the expected completion date is set. Sellers progress through clear readiness states, updating both technical and scheduling information as they go, while buyers receive continuous visibility into progress and timelines—keeping both sides fully in sync on the path to activation.
SELLER
Drives Readiness
Complete all remaining service-specific technical attributes that can only be finalized at this stage, ensuring the product is fully ready for activation.
Set and update the expected completion date as readiness progresses, giving buyers real visibility into delivery timelines.
BUYER
Stays Updated
See technical readiness progress in real time, including the completion of service-specific details that finalize the product.
Receive updates on expected completion dates, allowing internal teams to plan equipment delivery, site access, and customer scheduling with confidence.
As sellers advance readiness, buyers stay continuously informed—creating a shared, predictable path to activation.

One Track, Two Sides In Sync
Hosted in Cloud, Available in Web & JSON Formats
The Ordering Application provides a cloud-hosted shared environment, with all data natively available, at the source, in both a web-based, human-readable format and a JSON-based, machine-readable format. This enables real-time access to all data from anywhere and instant visibility of updates across parties, and gives each partner the flexibility to operate via GUI or API based on their level of automation—with a single API integration needed to reach all partners—and provides for seamless cross-mode interaction between automated (API) and non-automated (GUI) partners.
Cloud Design
- Built-in Power: Runs natively in the cloud with integrated security, elastic compute, and scalable processing
Cloud Experience
- Multi-Party Access: Shared environment accessible from anywhere by all parties
- Real-Time Updates: Instant visibility of changes and updates by all parties
GUI-API Modes
- Dual-Mode: Each partner can operate via GUI or API, based on level of automation
- Cross-Mode: Automated (API) and non-automated (GUI) partners can seamlessly interact
One API
- Partner-Wide API: A single API integration connects with all partners

The Catalog-Ordering Duo
The Catalog Application works alongside the Ordering Application to form a handoff between the act of defining a product (Catalog) and the act of ordering it (Ordering)—seamlessly transitioning from product definition to its commercial execution and actionable delivery.
Catalog application
Defines Products Ready for Order
Catalog turns generic product offerings into fully-configured product instances—technical, geographical, commercial, and operational—tailored to buyer needs and ready for immediate order.
ordering application
Processes Product Orders and Readiness
Ordering converts Catalog-defined product configurations into immediately executable orders—driving validation, completing final technical attributes, setting delivery timelines, and synchronizing progress with buyers.
Catalog and Ordering form a powerful duo—ensuring products are not only fully defined but also instantly and seamlessly orderable.
