Elentaria vs OrderEase

OrderEase is for a supplier or distributor that wants to give customers and sales reps better ways to place an order, a branded ordering portal, an offline rep app, EDI and email order capture, and have every one of those orders land clean in the ERP. Elentaria is for a company that wants to keep its customers ordering exactly the way they do today, and have the coordination around each order handled: the RFQ and quote before it, the checks and approvals during it, and the invoice, payment follow-up and reorder after it. If the problem is that orders arrive through too many messy channels, OrderEase is built for that. If the problem is the work that surrounds the order, that is the case for Elentaria.

What OrderEase does well

OrderEase puts it in five words on its homepage: "Take orders everywhere. Rekey nothing." That is a clear promise, and the product is built around it. Orders come in from a customer ordering portal, EDI, email, a sales rep app, ecommerce and marketplaces, land in one dashboard, and go to the ERP as clean, standardised sales orders.

The pricing layer is the part distributors tend to like most. Each buyer sees their own prices, discounts and terms, synced from the ERP, and OrderEase applies pricing rules, approvals, credit limits and validation before an order moves forward. Credit holds and routing rules run without someone opening a spreadsheet. For a distributor with customer-specific price lists, that removes a lot of quiet errors.

The sales rep app is a real strength for field-heavy businesses. It works offline, shows live inventory and each customer's pricing, keeps order history for quick reorders, and syncs to the ERP once the rep is back online. Building materials, lawn and garden, and food and beverage suppliers have reps in places with bad signal, and OrderEase was built for them. It started life as LinkGreen, a wholesale ordering network for the garden and building materials trade, and was renamed OrderEase in January 2020.

It also publishes its pricing starting point, which most tools in this category do not. The pricing page says plans start at $17 per day with unlimited users, then scale with channels, order volume and modules. OrderEase reports its own results as 70 percent fewer manual order touches and a 98 percent reduction in order entry errors. Those are vendor figures, not an independent benchmark. On reviews, it was named a High Performer in G2's Fall 2025 report for order management, and the Capterra listing shows 4.7 from 12 reviews with 4.9 for customer service.

Where teams start to hit limits with OrderEase

Three patterns, none of them about whether the product works.

The first is where the workflow begins. OrderEase's own system overview starts at order capture. There is no RFQ intake or quote preparation step listed. For a manufacturer or a technical distributor where most of the hours go into pricing a request, checking what the customer paid last time and getting a quote out before a competitor does, that work stays where it is.

The second is where it ends. The same overview finishes with shipment confirmations, ASNs, invoices and order status staying connected. Following up an overdue payment, chasing a supplier whose confirmation does not match the purchase order, or noticing that a regular customer has gone quiet are not part of the published flow.

The third is adoption. A portal is only useful when customers use it. One Capterra reviewer, a shipping coordinator, says "Not many of our customers are tech savy enough to use it." Another notes that "Most people probably won't stop using their existing software and so are left to manage 2." Others mention the app being "slow/glitchy" on a phone and prices "not always updated" when availability changes. Many of those reviews are filed under the old LinkGreen name and may predate the current product, so read them as questions to ask in a demo rather than settled facts.

The biggest difference

OrderEase changes how customers place orders. It gives them a portal, gives reps an app, and turns every channel into the same clean order in the ERP. The bet is that a better ordering channel removes the rekeying.

Elentaria does not ask customers to change anything. The buyer who has emailed a PDF to the same address for years keeps doing that. Elentaria reads the email, checks it against the quote, the price list and the account, prepares the sales order for a person to approve, and then carries the same piece of work forward: the delivery date that slipped, the invoice built from what was actually agreed, the payment that is late, the reorder that should have come in by now. Anything above a threshold or outside standard terms goes to the responsible person rather than being actioned.

That is the mechanism that decides the fit. If your problem is channel chaos, a better channel fixes it. If your customers are never going to log into a portal, and the cost is in the coordination around each order, a better channel only fixes the first step. We wrote about why that coordination ends up living in one inbox in how to automate order entry from email.

When OrderEase is the better choice

Pick OrderEase if you want customers to self-serve. If your buyers are willing to order through a branded portal with their own catalogue and pricing, that is a better experience for them and less work for you, and Elentaria does not build customer portals.

Pick OrderEase if you run a field sales team. An offline-ready rep app with live inventory and customer pricing is a specific product for a specific job, and it is one Elentaria does not offer.

Pick OrderEase if you sell through ecommerce and marketplaces as well as wholesale, and you want those orders standardised next to EDI and email in one hub. And pick it if a published starting price and a clear onboarding package matter to your budget process. That transparency is worth something.

When Elentaria is the better choice

Choose Elentaria when your customers are going to keep ordering by email and phone, and the work you want off your team's plate is everything around the order. Requests that need a quote first. Purchase orders that need checking against that quote. Supplier confirmations that do not match what was ordered. Invoices that have to match what was agreed, payments that need chasing, and reorders that nobody noticed were late.

Choose Elentaria when your process has exceptions that a standard order hub was not designed for, and you want them handled by your rules, with your approvals, inside the ERP and inbox you already use.

Watch out for the obvious: we are newer than OrderEase, which has been building for wholesale ordering since its LinkGreen days. We do not give your customers a portal and we do not have a rep app. If self-service ordering is the goal, OrderEase is the right shape. If OrderEase is on your list because order entry from email is the pain, the tools built for that job are compared in best Conexiom alternatives.

Frequently asked questions

What is OrderEase?

OrderEase is a B2B order management platform from Barrie, Ontario, previously called LinkGreen. It captures orders from a customer ordering portal, EDI, email, a sales rep app, ecommerce and marketplaces, applies customer pricing and credit rules, and syncs clean orders into ERPs such as NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks, Dynamics 365 and Acumatica.

How much does OrderEase cost?

OrderEase publishes a starting point of $17 per day with unlimited users. The real price depends on the number of sales channels, order volume, modules such as EDI, ERP integration and the partner portal, and how many integrations you need. Advanced setup is sold as fixed-price packages. There is no free version.

Does OrderEase handle quotes or RFQs?

Its rep app shows each customer's pricing so reps quote correctly in the field, but OrderEase's published workflow does not include RFQ intake or quote preparation. It starts when an order is placed. If quoting is where your team spends its hours, ask OrderEase directly how they would handle it.

Can Elentaria and OrderEase work together?

In principle, yes, because they attach at different points. OrderEase would own the customer-facing portal and rep app, Elentaria would handle the email orders, quotes, supplier follow-up, invoicing and reorder work around them. Whether that is worth two systems depends on how many of your customers would actually use a portal.

Which one fits a mid-market distributor?

Count where the hours go. If most of the lost time is rekeying orders from many channels and your customers would use a portal, OrderEase fits. If most of it is quoting, checking, approving, chasing deliveries and payments, and noticing quiet accounts, that work runs across the whole cycle and an order hub only covers part of it.

If you want this written for your industry rather than in the abstract, start with wholesale and distribution.
