“Attached is our standard PO.”
Three pages, a new column order, product descriptions instead of SKUs, and shipping instructions in the footer.

What else could Tuesday look like?
If you're spending less time re-entering orders, you can spend more time on work that actually needs a person.
One small thought experiment
Where would your time go?
More conversations. Less data entry.
An extra hour could go toward an account that needs some attention instead of another round of copy and paste.

Every buyer has
a different idea of a PO.
Your store shouldn't need a brand-new process every time a buyer sends an order in their favorite format.
“See tab three, please.”
Case quantities, abbreviated product names, and the customer's internal codes all live in the same workbook.
“Same as last time. Plus six.”
The PO is in the email body, the delivery location is somewhere in the thread, and nothing is formatted like a template.

LevelOps turns purchase orders from PDFs, emails, and spreadsheets into draft orders in Shopify. Your team stays in control of the final review and approval.
