How Order Pool works
A pull-based marketplace for production. Publishers post briefs, manufacturers grab capacity, escrow protects everyone.
01
Publisher submits a brief
Describe what you need made — packaging, short-run production, tooling. Our AI wizard cleans the spec so it can be matched.
02
Pool aggregates similar demand
Briefs of the same SKU or process get pooled so you all benefit from volume pricing.
03
Manufacturers pull what fits
Capacity-matched manufacturers self-select work, send a quote, and pick up production immediately.
04
Funds go into escrow
On accept, the publisher's payment lands in escrow. The manufacturer gets paid the moment quality checks clear.
05
Live tracking through to delivery
Production status, throughput, photos, tracking numbers — all visible to publisher and admin.
What's protected
Funds held in escrow until quality clears
Disputes have a 7-day cooling-off window
Manufacturer payout is automatic on release
