Portuguese term or phrase: ensejo
From a PT-PT marketing text about an online purchasing/ordering solution.

I'm having trouble figuring out what they are trying to say with the word "ensejo" in the following context:

"A solução XXX dispensa o envio das notas de encomenda. Reduz muito significativamente os custos administrativos, com a expedição, a impressão e o arquivo de encomendas, garantindo uniformidade na forma de adjudicação a fornecedores e integração de toda a informação de compras na plataforma. Faz-se possível o ensejo da encomenda, num universo de comunicação integrado, mantendo o histórico e a transparência."

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Explanation:
Timing of orders/timely orders...
The timing of orders is improved/Timely orders become a reality

Just a guess... It doesn't make much sense the employment of "ensejo" here, IMO

materialization


Explanation:
The term "ensejo" is wrongy used in the Portuguese wording. It is a mistake of the writer. He should have said "materialização", "realização" or something alike.
