A customer buys three items from three suppliers. LineNow splits the order, sends each supplier their own purchase order, and tracks the replies and fulfillment status — so you know what shipped before the customer emails asking where their order is.
Talk through your supplier workflow with a LineNow team member before you start.

The LineNow team is extremely pro-active about your success with PO and inventory-aware ordering. We researched many PO and inventory apps, and most were cookie cutter. They limited the features we could access. Not this one. You will not be disappointed!How Whitmans cut supplier back-and-forth 64-fold →

Stop forwarding orders manually. LineNow connects your storefront to your suppliers and keeps everything in sync.
Customer orders from Shopify can route to the right supplier. LineNow maps each SKU to its vendor, creates the supplier PO, and supports review or configured send workflows.
Every supplier conversation threaded by order. AI extracts tracking numbers, confirmations, and delays so you never lose context.
Start with dropship, then add retail, wholesale, or manufacturing as you grow. Same platform, same workflows, no migration required.

LineNow does not try to become your POS, inbox, ERP, or accounting file. It turns those records into supplier work, then sends clean updates back.

LineNow work layer
The part your systems do not own
One order record carries the decision, supplier conversation, receiving variance, and downstream handoff.
After checkout, before support tickets
Turn customer demand into supplier purchase orders, track confirmations and exceptions, and keep fulfillment state visible before customers ask where the order is.
