Has anyone made the admin interface for orders better for multi address orders?

Question

We have a client doing a lot of order management in Magento, and trying to multi address checkout is annoying. Well, for the admin and Magento it doesn't exist. You have to keep placing new orders. This means asking for credit card information over and over again.

I would think that creating a multi address admin checkout would probably be a huge undertaking and probably not recommended. I am also looking into possibly using the Authorize.net CIM module for saved credit cards to get over the asking of information over and over again. However, I am just checking to see if there is anything I am missing or if there are any extensions out there to make this process more streamlined?

I have a client with exactly the same issue. What we're doing at the moment is creating the order from the frontend, and displaying a cash payment option for the admin user only. Then the payment is taken manually via MOTO. If you're looking for a step up on this, I would suggest looking at enabling MOTO payments from the frontend for this user ONLY.

I spent a long time trying to find what you're looking for, and we discussed developing something ourselves, but in the end, as the feature already existed in the frontend, that's the way we opted for.
