Recognized for going above and beyond to get your team onboarded and running smoothly.The LineNow team is extremely pro-active about your success. They want this to be the only PO and inventory app you'll ever need. 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!
This is a great app. It does exactly what we need it to do and the team has been incredibly supportive in helping us getting it up and running for our business. Highly recommend.
I have saved thousands of dollars a month on my own time and ordering strategy. It's a relief to know you're doing the right thing, and incredibly quickly.
Every re-keyed PO is a paper cut.

The Complete Order Communication Flow
LineNow sits at the center of your purchasing and inventory workflow. Buyers create supplier orders from real inventory needs, track supplier changes, receive goods, reconcile upstream of AP, update stock levels, and hand clean records to accounting.
Create

Suppliers confirm line-by-line. Substitutions, backorders, price changes, and ETAs stay attached to the purchase order.Receive
Check items in on your phone. Delivered quantities update inventory from the real receiving state, not a static spreadsheet.Reconcile
Reconcile supplier AR against the live PO and receiving state before AP gets the payable, then hand clean purchase data to accounting.

Where LineNow fits in the procurement stack
LineNow fits when the painful work happens between inventory need and accounting handoff: deciding what to buy, sending purchase orders, tracking supplier replies, receiving goods, updating inventory, and giving accounting the final supplier-aware purchase state.
Track ingredients, components, packaging, kits, recipes, and BOM usage through supplier-linked POs, receiving, cost changes, and the next reorder.
Start from stock, sales, reorder points, PAR, past orders, or buyer review instead of a blank PO form.
Keep confirmations, substitutions, price changes, ETAs, invoices, and tracking updates attached to the order.
Short shipments, partial receipts, damaged goods, and changed quantities update inventory and preserve the reason.
QuickBooks Online or Xero gets cleaner purchase data after supplier replies and receiving context are known.
Supplier confirmation, receiving variance, and supplier AR context reconcile against the live PO before AP receives the payable.
