First off, I had a brainlapse, their order numbers were 6 digits. I'm not entirely sure what they max was in their system, it was just that's where they were at in the series.
And they didn't have that many orders per year, less than 10k, as one order could be for say five containers of goods. So it was not like they'd exceed 9 digits in the foreseeable future.

Or so we thought...
