Where Object & Order pulls ahead

Orders track themselves

Programa has no email integration and no automated order tracking. When a vendor ships a product, you update the status by hand. Object & Order's AI reads your inbox, finds the confirmation email, extracts the PO and tracking number, and updates your schedule — all without you lifting a finger.

  • AI monitors Gmail and Outlook for order updates
  • PO numbers auto-matched to schedule rows
  • Carrier tracking from FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL
  • PDF attachments parsed for order details

Edit together. In real time.

Programa offers multiple views (Kanban, list, timeline) but doesn't support live multi-user editing within a schedule. Object & Order lets your entire team work on the same document simultaneously, with presence indicators and instant sync.

  • Simultaneous multi-user editing
  • Live presence shows who's viewing
  • Full edit history with revert
  • No version conflicts or stale data
