Simplified Purchase Order Management

Don’t just rip and replace your existing system - embrace and extend it. Leverage plugs into Microsoft Dynamics GP to streamline PO management processes.

Create purchase orders in Dynamics GP and let Leverage handle the PO and shipment tracking for end-to-end visibility.

  • Stop manually calling and emailing for status updates — Leverage automates the status collection process for you.
  • Leverage automatically follows up on PO status and shipment updates until the PO is closed out in Dynamics GP — without the need for manual follow-up.
  • Increase supplier response rates and make it easier than ever for suppliers to provide consistent updates  

Auto-collect purchase order status updates from suppliers and shipment statuses from freight forwarders with 100% supplier adoption.

  • Leverage collects the real-time updates you need with robust integrations and automated, pre-configured outreach. 
  • No need for suppliers to adapt and learn new systems — Leverage meets them where they are via email, WhatsApp, WeChat, EDI, or direct integration.

Manage inventory risks with AI-driven, proactive notifications with the Leverage + Microsoft Dynamics GP Integration

  • Leverage maps existing inventory levels against incoming POs to identify out-of-stock risks due to production or transportation delays. 
  • Get instant notifications to proactively address risks and minimize supply chain disruptions.  

 

How Leverage Works with Microsoft Dynamics GP

Leverage fills in the gaps between Dynamics GP purchase order creation and closeout, with automated PO communication and status updates.

  1. Purchase Orders are created in Microsoft Dynamics GP. 
  2. Leverage ingests these PO automatically to handle PO communications and status updates including acknowledgments, exception handling, lead time updates, and ASN collection. 
  3. Leverage auto-tracks shipments from the moment they are shipped to the moment they hit your inventory.
  4. Leverage auto-updates Purchase Orders once an invoice is paid. 
  5. Throughout this process, Leverage writes back each update to a PO or shipment to Dynamics GP in real-time so you can keep your system of record.

End-to-end purchase order management enables your team to create and track every PO, directly collaborate with your suppliers in real-time, and quickly surface and mitigate potential disruptions.

  • Purchase order creation, management, and reporting
  • Easy supplier interface  within their emails for PO acknowledgments, updates, ASN collection, and collaboration
  • Optional supplier dashboards to provide comprehensive reporting 
  • Automated purchase order status updates 
  • Real-time and predictive notifications for late deliveries
  • Proactive category management
  • Robust APIs to rapidly connect with your existing systems, and your freight forwarders systems

Leverage provides end-to-end shipment visibility so you can maintain visibility of your items at every step of the way —wherever they are.
