In Beta: Create Order Guides in VoriOS
This article explains what order guides are and how to create and manage them in VoriOS.
What are Order Guides?
Order guides are custom lists of vendor products that make ordering faster and more accurate. Instead of searching for the same items each time, you can build a reusable guide with your commonly ordered products.
Using order guides helps you:
-
Save time by reordering frequently purchased items in just a few taps.
-
Ensure the correct vendor product is selected for each item.
-
Easily add new or suggested items to keep guides up to date.

You can create an order guide from scratch or generate one as you place an order.

- Click "Edit" to edit the Order Guide.

- Select "Delete Order Guide" when the field pops up.

Adjust quantities as needed (cases or units).
-
Swipe left to remove items from the cart.

At checkout, your cart will reflect everything you selected from the guide.
Manage Order Guides

-
Suggested products: Vori recommends items that may be missing from your guide, such as:
-
Products from your last order with that vendor.
-
Newly added items in the past two weeks.
-
-
Add on the fly: When scanning or searching, tap Add to Order Guide to save an item for future use.

Multiple guides per vendor: You can create more than one guide for the same vendor (e.g., Coffee and Snacks).
Additional Features

Filters: Sort items in your guide (e.g., “Not in Cart”) to quickly see what you may have missed
