PeasyOrders vs. SimplyDepo for B2B order capture

At a glance

Feature	PeasyOrders	SimplyDepo
Primary purpose	Capture messy emailed B2B orders and turn them into reviewed, priced drafts for QuickBooks Online.	Run CPG field sales — an offline rep app, route planning, retail execution, CRM, and a branded buyer portal.
How orders are placed	They aren't placed in it — they arrive. Emailed orders (body plus PDF and spreadsheet attachments) are captured, and phone orders are added in one click as manual entries.	A rep enters the order in the mobile app — offline-capable, with real-time sync — or the buyer places it in the branded portal.
Captures emailed orders	Yes. That's the core job.	Its documented order entry is the rep app and the buyer portal; it isn't positioned as an email-capture tool.
Field sales operations	No. No routes, no store visits, no rep app.	Yes. Route planning and optimization, retail execution with photo proof and in-store tasks, and CRM.
Human review before anything is created	Yes. An operator confirms every draft, and each value shows the source it came from, line by line.	Orders are structured at entry, because a rep or the buyer places them.
Per-customer pricing	Yes. A pricing engine with rule precedence that proposes each customer's price from your past QuickBooks invoices — you accept before it applies.	Yes. Buyers see their own pricing in the branded portal.
QuickBooks Online	Native connector. Reviewed orders export as Estimates by default (configurable).	Yes — QuickBooks Online integration syncing orders, invoices, payments, credits, and adjustments.
Buyer self-service portal	No.	Yes. A branded portal where buyers order from your catalog, see their pricing, download past invoices, and pay with a saved card.
How you buy it	Self-serve at a published price — plans at $99, $199, and $349 per month by confirmed order volume, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.	Quote-based, team-size pricing with all core functions included and no minimum seats; a full-featured 30-day free trial.

The honest comparison

SimplyDepo and PeasyOrders both end with a clean order in QuickBooks Online, but they work on opposite sides of how the order comes to exist. SimplyDepo digitizes how orders are placed — reps enter them in an offline mobile app, buyers order in a branded portal. PeasyOrders captures the orders that arrive on their own, by email, built for small and mid-sized US wholesale distributors on QuickBooks Online.

SimplyDepo is a CPG field-sales and retail-execution platform. Reps capture and update orders from anywhere with offline support and real-time sync; route planning and optimization organize their days; retail execution covers photo proof, in-store compliance, and custom tasks and forms; CRM tracks the accounts; and a branded buyer portal lets customers order from your catalog, see their own pricing, download past invoices, and pay with a saved card. It syncs with QuickBooks Online — orders, invoices, payments, credits, and adjustments — and is sold on team-size-based pricing by quote, with a full-featured 30-day free trial.

PeasyOrders does a job that platform isn't positioned for: reading the orders nobody placed in an app. The emails your customers send — the body plus PDF and spreadsheet attachments — become catalog-matched, per-customer-priced drafts that a person reviews and exports to QuickBooks Online as Estimates. Phone orders are added in one click as manual entries into the same queue. No rep app, no routes, no portal — on purpose.

The deciding question is where your order volume actually comes from: reps in stores, or messages in your inbox.

Where SimplyDepo is the right call

SimplyDepo is genuinely good at the field-sales job, and it's worth being clear about that.

• Reps in the field. An offline-capable mobile app lets reps take and update orders during store visits, with real-time sync when they're back on signal.
• Routes and territories. Built-in route planning and optimization keep rep days organized around store coverage.
• Retail execution. Photo proof, in-store compliance, and custom tasks and forms — the merchandising work that pure ordering tools skip.
• A buyer portal with payments. Organized accounts can reorder on their own, see their pricing, download invoices, and pay with a saved card.
• QuickBooks Online sync. Orders, invoices, payments, credits, and adjustments flow without re-entry.

One honest caution: SimplyDepo assumes your orders flow through reps or the portal. If most of your volume arrives as emails written in each customer's own words, you'd be adopting a field-sales platform — priced by quote, by team size — to solve an inbox problem it isn't positioned for.

Two orders, two tools

A rep walks a grocery store on Tuesday, checks the shelf, and enters the restock order in SimplyDepo's app on the spot — offline, synced later, with the account's pricing from the platform. Route planned, visit logged, photo proof attached. That's SimplyDepo working exactly as designed.

That same evening, a convenience-store buyer emails: "Morning order — usual case of the lemon-lime, drop the diet for now, add 3 cases of the new ginger." No rep visit, no portal login — just an email. That's the order PeasyOrders is built for. It becomes a draft in your review queue: "the usual" resolves from this account's confirmed history, the diet line is dropped, the ginger matches against your QuickBooks items, the account's pricing is applied with the rule that set it shown on each line, and every value links back to the part of the email it came from. You confirm, and it lands in QuickBooks Online as an Estimate.

Both orders end up clean in QuickBooks. The question is which of the two arrival paths dominates your week.

Rep visit (SimplyDepo)

Rep walks the store

Order entered in the app

offline, synced later

QuickBooks Online

Working as designed for route days

Buyer portal (SimplyDepo)

Buyer logs in

Orders from your catalog

their own pricing, saved card

QuickBooks Online

Self-serve for the accounts that adopt it

The emailed order (PeasyOrders)

“Morning order — usual case…”

no rep visit, no login

Draft matched and priced

You review and confirm

In QuickBooks Online as an Estimate

When PeasyOrders is the better fit

PeasyOrders is built for small and mid-sized US wholesale distributors on QuickBooks Online whose customers send orders written in their own words. If a typical week includes re-typing line items from emailed orders and attached PDFs or spreadsheets into QuickBooks, that's the job it exists to remove.

• Capture without behavior change. Orders keep arriving the way they always have; email is forwarded in, and phone orders are added in one click as manual entries.
• The pricing QuickBooks can't do. QuickBooks Online doesn't expose per-customer pricing to integrations, so PeasyOrders acts as the pricing engine: on setup it reads your past invoices once and proposes each customer's price, which you accept, adjust, or discard before it applies.
• Review you can trust. Every draft is confirmed by a person before it exports, with the source of every value visible per line, and unresolved lines block confirmation instead of slipping through.
• QuickBooks Online native. Reviewed orders export as Estimates by default; Google Sheets and CSV are also supported.
• Self-serve at a published price. Plans at $99, $199, and $349 per month by confirmed order volume, annual billing gets two months free, and every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.

A pragmatic conclusion

SimplyDepo digitizes order placement — reps on an app, buyers on a portal, routes and retail execution around them — and for CPG operations built on store coverage, that's the right shape of tool. PeasyOrders captures the orders that never went through placement at all: emailed in, read, priced per customer, reviewed by a person, and landed in QuickBooks Online as Estimates. If your volume runs through reps, pick the field-sales platform. If it runs through your inbox, that's PeasyOrders.

When to choose PeasyOrders

• Your orders arrive as free-form emails with PDF or spreadsheet attachments — not through rep visits — and the problem you want solved is the retyping.
• You want reviewed orders to land in QuickBooks Online as Estimates with each customer's pricing already applied — the per-customer pricing QuickBooks Online's API doesn't expose to any integration.
• You want to sign up self-serve at a published price instead of booking a meeting for a quote.
• You don't run field reps or routes — paying for a field-sales platform to solve an inbox problem is the wrong shape of tool.

When to choose SimplyDepo

• Your orders flow through reps in the field — store visits, shelf work, and route days — and you want one app for ordering, routing, and retail execution.
• You need retail execution: photo proof, in-store compliance checks, and custom tasks and forms for your reps.
• You want a branded portal where buyers reorder on their own, see their pricing, and pay with a saved card.
• You're a CPG brand or distributor whose operation is built around territories and store coverage.
