In an effort to become more streamlined and efficient in their supply chain management processes, your customer has chosen to implement Leverage.

Their goal is to gain more control over purchasing and inventory workflows while increasing visibility into their supply chain. Leverage helps them achieve these goals through automated purchase order management, PO & shipment status collection, and dynamic inventory tracking modules.

Supplier will begin receiving requests via automated email prompts. These prompts are set up on a cadence and can vary, but most commonly include:

  • Requests for Acknowledgements (PO PDFs included)

  • Status Update Requests

  • Shipment Tracking / Advanced Shipment Notices (ASNs)

  • Notices of purchase order revisions & cancellations

This email allows you to review the request and acknowledge receipt immediately by clicking the call-to-action buttons in the email requests.

Leverage Supplier Portal - Orders Page

As a supplier, you will automatically have access to the Leverage Supplier Portal to support your customer(s) purchase orders.

There is no initial setup required to utilize the Leverage Supplier Portal and you are completely able to interact with and manage purchase orders for your customer via the Leverage email prompts.

Upon completing your first acknowledgement, you will receive an email confirming you were automatically registered as a supplier in Leverage, with a link to update your password.

One of the benefits of the Leverage Supplier Portal is that you don’t need to wait for a system-generated email request to provide information. You can log in at any time to provide notes, leave comments, submit updates or change requests, and provide shipment information. You can also manage who receives email notifications on purchase orders.
