Hijack warning: this seemed like a potentially relevant thread to a service I am looking for so I'm just going to post it in case any HN readers know of or provide this service.

I'm looking for an online service that can automate our order processing workflow.

Our current workflow is: (For additional clarity, I am surrounding separate entities in [ ])

    [Distributor emails] a Purchase Order to [OurCompany]
    [OurCompany] forwards this Purchase Order to the appropriate [3rd Party Warehouse], who then picks and ships the order to the [Distributor]
    [3rd Party Warehouse] sends [OurCompany] a Bill of Lading confirming product shipment
    [OurCompany] forwards this Bill of Lading to [Distributor]
    [OurCompany] invoices [Distributor] based on Bill of Lading (using QuickBooks)

I'm trying to find a service that will help us automate this, totally or partially, via a centralized website & automated emails.

Anyone know of such a thing?
