Stop Losing Retail Marginto stockouts, dead stock, guesswork, and spreadsheet chaos.
Watch the demo
Your stores and sales channels already show what customers bought. LineNow turns that demand into the reorder: see what is running low, what is not moving, and what each location needs, then build the supplier purchase order before it becomes a margin problem.
Connected Retail Demand
- Bring store, POS, and channel demand into one buying view
- Rank inventory by margin, sales velocity, or days of stock
- Keep each location visible without blending its demand
Supplier Reordering
- Auto-generate POs when stock hits reorder points
- Review order quantities across your entire catalog
- Cart versioning so you can compare before you send
Receiving & Cost History
- Track supplier replies, price changes, and inbound status
- Receiving updates stock and preserves what actually arrived
- Keep valuation history and accounting context together

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.How Verve Bowls orders in 40 minutes, not 6 hours →
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 →
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.How Living Fit automated dropship POs in days →
Sound familiar?
These problems quietly drain retail margin every month.
Stockouts
You ran out. You lost the sale. You lost the customer. And without real-time tracking, you won’t even know it happened until it’s too late.Over-ordering
Cash locked up in inventory that just sits there. Every dollar in dead stock is a dollar you can’t spend on what actually sells.Blind Spots
You’re buying based on gut feel, not what actually sells. Without sales-linked data, every order is a guess — and guesses add up fast.Spreadsheet Chaos
Manual tracking breaks the moment you add a second location. Spreadsheets don’t sync, don’t alert, and don’t scale.See where retail inventory is tying up margin
Connect your POS or sales channel and review the stockouts, dead stock, and supplier orders that need attention.Everything retailers need to turn demand into supplier action

The part your systems do not own
One order record carries the decision, supplier conversation, receiving variance, and downstream handoff.
- 01Turn signals into a buy listLineNow reads usage, stock, supplier rules, pack sizes, and open orders before recommending what to buy.
- 02Create supplier-ready POsThe buyer reviews one working order, then sends supplier-specific purchase orders without rebuilding them elsewhere.
- 03Attach every supplier replyConfirmations, shortages, substitutions, price changes, and ETAs update the order instead of sitting in an inbox.
- 04Push clean records backReceiving, final costs, invoice context, and fulfillment state are handed downstream after the order has changed.

Where Retail Systems Stop
Your POS, ecommerce platform, ERP, or WMS can keep tracking sales, stock, warehouse activity, and accounting records. LineNow handles the supplier buying work that starts when retail demand needs action.
| Retail systemsPOS, ecommerce, ERP, WMS | LineNow | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Counts, sales, warehouse, or finance records | Turns inventory signals into purchase orders |
| Reorder decision | Alerts or reports often stop at the need | Groups demand by supplier into reviewable POs |
| Supplier follow-up | Usually email, portals, EDI, or manual notes | Tracks replies, ETAs, substitutions, and price changes |
| Receiving | Records counts after goods arrive | Connects received quantities to the live PO state |
| Accounting handoff | Needs clean PO, receipt, and bill context | Hands off purchase data that matches the supplier confirmation |
| Role in stack | Core record-keeping system | Buying workflow beside it |
| Best fit | Stock control, sales, warehouse, or ledger ownership | Buying work triggered by stock movement |
