Customer-loved Supplier operations without another supplier portal rollout
Award-winning customer support
Recognized for going above and beyond to get your team onboarded and running smoothly.The LineNow team is extremely pro-active about your success in making this app your only PO and inventory app you'll ever need. We researched many PO and inventory apps that are available, most of them are 'cookie cutter' type apps that force you to be limited on what features you will have access to. 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 both on my own time, and on optimizing our ordering strategy. It's such a relief to be able to know you're doing the right thing, and incredibly quickly.
Supplier management, SLM, and SIM are not the same job
Search results mix supplier lifecycle management software, supplier information management software, supplier portals, and day-to-day supplier operations tools. LineNow is built for the operational layer: what was ordered, what changed, what arrived, and what accounting should pay.Supplier onboarding, risk, compliance, and performance
Best when lifecycle work is tied to POs and supplier replies
Contacts, payment terms, tax fields, documents, and profiles
Best when records must stay connected to live orders
Orders, replies, price changes, ETAs, receiving, and handoff
Core fit: this is the LineNow workflow
A supplier login for documents, status, or catalog updates
Useful when suppliers will not adopt another portal
The SMB supplier workflow LineNow covers
A supplier profile is useful. The higher-value problem is the live supplier thread around every order. LineNow turns that thread into structured procurement state.Workflows your team understands
Supplier management mapped to how your team already runs — inbox, phone, receiving dock, accounting handoff. No new portal to train on.
Every supplier thread, structured
Email, WhatsApp, and EDI threads grouped per supplier and per order. AI reads confirmations, price changes, and ETAs into the PO automatically — no copy-pasting from inboxes.
- Conversations grouped by supplier and by order
- AI parses confirmations, substitutions, price changes, and ETAs
- Full searchable history of every supplier interaction
Receive against what the supplier actually shipped
Match deliveries against the supplier-confirmed PO, flag short ships and substitutions on your phone, and update inventory the moment receipt is confirmed.
- Check items in against the live confirmed order
- Flag quantity, substitution, or price mismatches instantly
- Inventory updates the moment receiving is confirmed
Supplier records that stay connected to live orders
Contacts, payment terms, price history, and order timelines live on a single supplier record — and they update from real PO activity, not from a separate database to maintain.
- Contacts, payment terms, lead times, and notes per supplier
- Price history captured from confirmed POs, not manual entry
- Order timeline visible the moment a supplier replies
The Complete Supplier Communication Flow
LineNow sits between you and every supplier — capturing confirmations, price changes, and ETAs from the threads that already exist, so the order state stays accurate from PO to payment.
