Order to release
Time from accepted order to usable engineering and operations work.
Stop making engineering rediscover what sales promised.
Engineering should not have to read months of email to learn why the customer got a special material, date or warranty. Bourne turns the accepted order into a release package with the scope, decisions, exceptions and open items already attached.

Engineering needs the decisions behind the order.
The signed order does not explain months of customer questions, alternatives and approvals. A handover meeting often becomes a search through email for the final scope and the promises that differ from the standard product.
Bourne assembles a release package from the accepted order, proposal and decision history. Each owner sees the work, source and open item that belongs to them.
A won package becomes work for five teams.
- 01
Reconcile
The customer PO and accepted offer agree after two approved changes.
- 02
Package
Bourne groups final requirements, drawings, configuration and supplier commitments.
- 03
Assign
Engineering, planning, sourcing, quality and project management receive their work.
- 04
Block
The hazardous-area certificate remains visible as a release condition.
- 05
Start
Each team works from the same commercial baseline.
What should improve
Handover gaps
Missing requirements or commitments found after a workstream starts.
Blocked work age
Elapsed time for unresolved items that stop engineering, purchasing or planning.
Frequently asked questions
Can Bourne create ERP and project records?
Yes. After approval, Bourne can prepare or create the records through available APIs or controlled browser workflows. Your team defines which actions remain drafts and which can run automatically.
How does this handle engineer-to-order work?
The release package separates the approved baseline from unresolved engineering work, assigns each open item and keeps later decisions tied to the customer commitment.
What does Bourne need before it can run sales-to-engineering handover?
We start with a live sales-to-engineering handover case, the source files your team used, the systems they checked and the final result. That gives us the real work, including the exceptions that a process diagram misses.
What happens when information is missing or contradictory?
Bourne does not fill the gap with a guess. It shows the missing or conflicting source, asks the right owner for a decision and keeps that answer with the case so the same question does not have to be solved again.
Can our team see why Bourne made a recommendation?
Yes. Each recommendation links back to the files, records, rules and prior decisions that support it. Your team can inspect the evidence before approving the next step.
Do we have to change the whole process at once?
No. We start with one workflow, one team and real customer work. Once it performs reliably, we connect the next step in the customer lifecycle.
