How teams put Order Command to work.

Two industries. Two vocabularies. The same problem: every order, every vendor, every return — scattered across an inbox no one wants to log into. Here's how costume buyers on TV productions and procurement leads at residential design firms run their week on Order Command.

For costume teams · TV productions

Spend your day on the design — not the logistics.

A team of buyers shopping across every character, each on their own card. One person keeping all of it straight — and chasing every return before the window closes. Order Command organizes it automatically, so the hours go back to the work only you can do.

100+

Boxes through one set buyer in a week

50/day

Returns at peak — many with separate windows

9 cards

P-cards to reconcile across a team of buyers

I really love this. This is fantastic. Bravo.
All of this is so, so, so helpful.

How the work organizes itself

Organized without anyone organizing it.

01 — Tagged by character

Every character has a closet that builds itself.

Eleanor — Lead

tag · 24 items · 3 fittings

  • Wide-leg trouser · Khaitedelivered
  • Silk camisole · Vincein transit
  • Ankle boot · Aquazzurafitting
  • Trench · Burberryreturn

Buyers tag each order with its character.

“It's almost like you're creating a digital closet of everything that character has got.”
— Costume designer

02 — Reconcile by card

Every buyer’s card is a color.

9 cards · color legend

  • Card 4421 · Lead18 items
  • Card 1108 · Supporting12 items
  • Card 2256 · Background27 items
  • Card 9097 · Stunt4 items

Credit cards are automatically assigned to orders when the card number appears in an email.

“Every credit card is assigned a colored dot. We're very visual.”
— Costume designer

03 — Returns never slip

One person, every return window.

  • Saks Fifth

  • Bloomingdale's

Every order shows its deadline as “Due in X days” the moment it ships — so no refund ever slips, even on a $4K piece.

“That is like a dream of mine.”

For the future of costuming and costume departments, the fact that you guys have an alert system for when something is due … is a game changer.

Analytics

See what every character and every episode actually costs.

Spend on a timeline, with the refunds you’ve recovered right beside it. Break the number down by character or by episode — so you walk into the budget meeting knowing exactly where the money went, and how much came back.

Can you show me the Analytics page again? I just want to, like, drool a little bit over it.

Auto-tag rules

Keep track of high value asset items.

Set a price threshold once — anything over $450 is tagged an Asset automatically, so every high-value piece surfaces in one place.

  • Rules run at the item and order level — price, vendor, or keyword
  • Every asset in one view — track the refund with extra scrutiny
  • Export just the asset list for reconciliation or insurance

What costume teams pushed us to build

Shipped because a designer said it out loud.

  • Color-coded tags so each buyer's card reconciles in one view
  • Return windows that count down — nobody misses a refund
  • Centralized show inbox with cross-buyer dedupe so two assistants never log the same order
  • Per-show data isolation — delete everything at wrap with one switch
