The Online Order screen simplifies the process to order licenses and other items for your account. Submit an order for the new items that you are purchasing, and the order is automatically sent to Cato's Customer Success team. Your organization then receives a confirmation email with the details for the order. The Online Order screen shows the status for the item, so you can easily track the progress of your order and accurately estimate the start date for purchased licenses and items.
Before you can start using the Online Orders screen, complete and sign the Electronic Order Program (EoP) enrollment letter with Cato that gives you permissions to use the Cato Management Application to order licenses and other items for your account.
The Online Order screen only shows items that you ordered using the Cato Managements Application. Items that you ordered directly from a Cato representative or Customer Success person are not shown in this screen.
