This article explains you the next step when you get your order assigned. Please make sure to have read the previous article How to receive orders through our platform - The marketplace to avoid missing where to find critical information of your order.
How do I know the order is assigned to me?
Once you have accepted an offer and it has been assigned to you, you will find it in your dashboard under ‘active orders’. You will also receive a separate e-mail when the order has been assigned to you from dispatch@mail.cutr.ai.
How will Cutr support me in my order?
Cutr is always making sure to give you fully assistance during your production. In the following cases we make sure to give you extra support:
First time partner: If this is your first time producing with Cutr, we do a check-in with you before we start your production. We schedule an (online) meeting to guide you through the platform and the required steps to set you up for success
Projects: In case you're producing an order with us which required installation, we go over the details with you and making sure all the context is clear.
How can I communicate with Cutr / Customer about the order
In your order you can now find a Messages tab
This tab contain two chats:
A chat with Cutr only which you can use to communicate to Cutr directly. For any platform or financial related questions please use this chat
A chat with Cutr and Customer where you can ask all the questions related to the order.

My order requires a kick-off, what is expected here?
Some of our orders require a kick-off call as mentioned above, Cutr will propose you possible dates for this (online) meeting. Depending on the order requirements, the customer could participate in these meetings.
In the kick-off we discuss the details of the project and schedule the actions related to the important milestones (e.g. measure up date, production drawing ready, installation date etc.). We confirm these dates post meeting and also update the milestones on the platform. They will appear in your project tab.
Please note that these dates are update by Cutr and not by the customer or you
What important information should be shared with Cutr about the order?
When navigating to the 'Project' tab, you can find a list of to do's on the right side the page. We expect you to have all of these tasks, except of the 'mark as ready' to be completed, updated within 3 days after the order is assigned to you.
Fulfilment information
Clicking on any of the tasks 'set material delivery date', 'Set planned completion date' and 'Set delivery schedule' will bring you to the Fullfilment tab.
Material arrival date: Share with us the date your material will arrive. In case the supplier delays your delivery you can simply update this on platform
Planned completion date: The date you expect the order to be completed in your factory. In case you expect a delay you can simply update this information on our platform.
Fulfilment method: This date reflects the date you're planning to deliver / install your order at the customer.

We only require you to fill a reason for your update
