Dexa is built around the order record.

Define staff roles, import or create sample clients, enter realistic orders, assign riders, record payments and close deliveries with proof. Compare the system history with the team\u2019s current WhatsApp and spreadsheet process. The goal is not to add more data entry; it is to remove repeated entry and make responsibility visible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_product_boundary\"><\/span>Important product boundary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dexa provides purpose-built client, rider and admin workspaces and documents a client-request-to-proof workflow.
