Send Purchase Orders Automatically. Stop Chasing Vendors.
We set up integrations between your Shopify store and your vendors so purchase orders are generated and transmitted automatically, via EDI, API, or email, the moment you need them. No manual entry, no missed orders.
The Problem With Manual POs
Most product businesses still create purchase orders manually: copy-pasting order data, emailing vendors, following up to confirm receipt. It works until it doesn't. A busy period, a staff change, or a missed email can cascade into delayed inventory, lost sales, and frustrated customers. The bigger you grow, the more brittle the manual process becomes.
What Changes With Automation
- POs generated automatically when stock thresholds are hit or orders are placed
- Sent directly to vendors via their preferred method: EDI, API, or email
- Confirmation and acknowledgment tracked without manual follow-up
- Error handling and alerts so nothing falls through the cracks
How We Set It Up
Vendor Mapping
We document your vendors, their preferred transmission methods (EDI, API, or email), and the data they need on each PO.
Integration Build
We build the connections between your Shopify store (or OMS) and each vendor's system, using EDI standards, API endpoints, or structured email templates, depending on what each vendor requires.
Testing & Validation
We test every flow end-to-end with real data before going live. You review and approve before anything touches a live vendor.
Go Live & Monitor
We launch the automations and monitor the first weeks of operation. Alerts are in place so issues surface immediately.
Everything Needed to Automate Your POs
EDI Integration
Support for standard EDI transaction sets (850 Purchase Order, 855 Acknowledgment, etc.). We handle the mapping and translation layer.
API-Based POs
Direct API integration with vendors who support it. Real-time transmission and status updates where available.
Email PO Automation
Structured, vendor-specific email templates sent automatically for vendors without EDI or API capability.
Vendor Configuration
Each vendor configured individually with their specific data requirements, lead times, and transmission preferences.
Error Handling & Alerts
Failed transmissions are flagged immediately. You'll know about a problem before it becomes an inventory issue.
Ongoing Support
We stay available post-launch. When vendor requirements change, we keep the integrations working.
