Welcome to Leverage! 🎉
Your Quick Start Guide for Suppliers
Welcome to the Leverage platform! We've designed this system to work seamlessly with your existing email workflow, requiring minimal technical setup while streamlining your purchase order management.
✨ The Best Part: It's Simple!
💰 Completely Free
No costs for suppliers. Your customer covers all fees.
📧 Work From Your Inbox
Manage purchase orders directly from your email. No login required for most tasks.
🔧 Zero IT Setup
No technical setup needed on your end. When your customer goes live, you'll simply start receiving emails from Leverage.
🚀 Getting Started
What You'll Receive
You'll start getting automated emails from Leverage (@lvrg.ai) instead of direct emails from your customers. Each email includes key order information such as:
Promise dates
Quantities
Unit costs
Additional details as configured by your customer
Pro Tip: Ask your IT team to allow emails from @lvrg.ai to ensure email deliverability as this may be flagged as spam on initial delivery.
📧 Email-Only Workflow
Perfect if you prefer working from your inbox without logging into websites.
Acknowledging Purchase Orders
Receive PO email with order details
Click the blue "Provide Acknowledgment" button in the email
Review and adjust if needed:
Promise dates
Unit costs
Quantities
Click "Acknowledge" to confirm or "Reject" if there are issues
Making Changes
You can make changes at two different times:
1. During Initial Acknowledgment:
Propose new promise dates
Adjust quantities
Modify unit costs
Split across multiple dates
Add notes/comments to individual PO lines
2. Later via Status Updates:
When you receive status update requests, you can also modify the same fields (dates, quantities, unit costs) and add notes to PO lines.
When you propose changes at either time, your customer gets notified automatically to approve or discuss.
Status Updates
You'll receive automated requests for status updates on a predetermined schedule. You can:
Click "Provide Status Update"
Make changes if needed (promise dates, quantities, unit costs)
Add any relevant information
Click "Submit"
No updates? Just click "All listed orders are on track"
Shipment Information
When ready to ship, provide:
Tracking numbers
Carrier information
Estimated delivery dates
Package details
Direct Communication
Need to communicate with your customer? You have several options:
Reply to any Leverage email - automatically copies your customer's buyer
Add notes to PO lines during acknowledgment or status updates
Use notes/comments on individual PO line items
Important: Comments and notes can only be added at the individual PO line level, not at the order header level.
