Inside LineNow

Keep the supplier pack beside the order quantity.

A useful purchase order shows how the supplier sells an item and how many units your team needs. LineNow keeps pack sizes, unit costs, quantities, and order notes together while you build the PO.

Make it work for your team

Start with the supplies you reorder most.

A small, well-mapped catalog is a practical place to begin.

Walk through your setup →
Supplier packs
Enter the actual case size and cost for shampoo, conditioner, and other consumables. The example on this page uses six bottles per case.
Units you count
Choose bottles, packs, or another supported inventory unit. Confirm that the location and count-entry setup fits how your staff checks the shelf.
Use during appointments
Physical counts can inform the next purchase. Do not assume that an appointment automatically subtracts shampoo; service consumption needs its own supported mapping.
Existing grooming software
Continue using your appointment and customer-management tools. LineNow handles supply purchasing and inventory workflows alongside them.
