We’re excited to share that Orderry now allows users to set and manage units of measurement for both services and products. This update helps you track inventory more accurately and streamline your operations by providing greater flexibility in how you measure and sell items.
Available Units of Measurement
We’ve added several product units of measurement across five key categories to cover all your needs:
Quantity
pcs – Pieces: Ideal for measuring the number of individual items.
pack – Package: For products sold in bulk or packages.
Length
in – Inches
ft – Feet
yd – Yards
m – Meters
cm – Centimeters
mm – Millimeters
Weight
lb – Pounds
oz – Ounces
kg – Kilograms
g – Grams
t – Tons

For services you can use now "ea – Each" and time units of measure:
min – minutes
h – hours
d – days
nh – Normal Hours
How It Works
You’ll find the new Measurement Unit field in the product and service profiles. If your items are measured in something other than pieces, you can update their measurement units accordingly.
Important Notes:
Serialized products and bundles are measured only in pieces (pcs).
However, products and services included in bundles can have different units of measurement.
For example, auto repair shops can create service bundles like full maintenance packages, which may include:
engine diagnostics, suspension checks, and oil changes, measured in labor hours;
cabin and oil filters, measured in pieces;
engine oil, measured in quarts.
For cleaning companies, this could be deep cleaning packages, which may include:
the cleaning service itself, measured in hours;
cleaning liquids or cleaning powders, measured in ounces;
disposable cleaning supplies, measured in pieces.
Measurement units are displayed everywhere you view product or service quantities, including in the mobile app—just make sure you’ve updated to the latest version.
In tables with summary rows, quantities are grouped by their measurement units for easier tracking.
We’ve also added a new variable, {Product UoM}, for your document templates, so you can print measurement units on labels, receipts, and other documents.
This update enhances your ability to manage inventory and processes with precision, whether you’re tracking individual items, lengths of material, weights, or areas.
