Where compliance bleeds margin and time

These leaks show up every audit, every recall, and every end-of-cycle reconciliation.

License Lapses

A supplier license expires mid-cycle and nobody catches it until receiving. Now you have stock you can’t sell and an open audit question that takes weeks to close.
Track LicensesLearn More

COA Chaos

Certificates of analysis live in inboxes, drives, and the supplier portal. When the auditor asks for the COA for a specific lot, finding it takes the rest of the afternoon.
Centralize DocsLearn More

No Lot Trail

Inventory is tracked as a single bucket, so when a vendor issues a lot-level recall you’re guessing which units shipped, which sold, and which are still on the shelf.
Track LotsLearn More

Quiet Expiry Write-Offs

Without expiration dates on the receipt, near-expiry stock sits behind newer stock until the markdown is a write-off. FEFO is impossible without the data.

Get audit-ready in an afternoon

Mark items regulated, pick the documents they require, and capture lot + expiry on every receipt. Layers on Lightspeed, Shopify, Square, and Faire — no rip-and-replace.

Compliance workflows built into the receipt

Document rules, supplier licenses, and lot tracking land on the same screen your team already uses to receive stock.

Supplier License

Capture, request, or verify every supplier license.

Per-line compliance: enter license details from a document you reviewed, or request the license from the supplier — replies are extracted, queued for review, and saved with the verifier and timestamp.

  • License number, type, jurisdiction, issue and expiry per supplier
  • Request → reply → review loop with email extraction
  • Current status, verifier and review timestamp visible on the line

Compliance workflows your team understands

Capture, verify, receive, and request — four screens your team already uses to run procurement, with the compliance layer wired in.

LineNow supplier compliance email threads

Supplier compliance threads

Every supplier conversation threaded by line. AI extracts COA replies, license updates, and manifest details into structured fields, queued for a manager to verify before the document is marked verified.

  • Conversations grouped by supplier and order
  • AI parses COAs, vendor licenses, and transfer manifests into structured fields
  • Supplier document replies retained in the purchasing conversation

LineNow receiving with lot and expiry tracking

Receiving with lot & expiry

Match deliveries against POs, split a receipt across as many lots as you need, and record the applicable lot number and expiration date. Completed receipts update the inventory record.

  • Multi-lot receive with per-lot quantity and expiration date
  • Tracked document status and acknowledgement at receiving
  • Inventory layers preserve lot and receipt context for review

LineNow manifest lookup and regulated receiving workflow

Metrc, in the receive flow

Retrieve an incoming manifest for the configured facility and review package quantities before receiving. The current integration supports acceptance, specified downward adjustments and rejection cases. Confirm the permitted handling and reason codes for the event; reconciliation is required if an external update succeeds before a later failure.

  • Manifest lookup and separate package lab-result retrieval
  • Variance notes accompany supported adjustment or rejection calls
  • Illinois guidance is scoped to Illinois; other jurisdictions require their own validation

LineNow cart versioning and compliance audit trail

Cart versioning

Save draft carts, compare versions side by side, and see exactly what changed. Keep the order changes and supplier context together for internal review and supporting inspection evidence.

  • Save, name, and compare cart drafts side by side
  • See line-by-line diffs between versions
  • Dated order activity and supplier context for review

Keep the systems. Close the buying loop.

LineNow does not try to become your POS, inbox, ERP, or accounting file. It turns those records into supplier work, then sends clean updates back.

The part your systems do not own

One order record carries the decision, supplier conversation, receiving variance, and downstream handoff.

  1. 01Turn signals into a buy listLineNow reads usage, stock, supplier rules, pack sizes, and open orders before recommending what to buy.
  2. 02Create supplier-ready POsThe buyer reviews one working order, then sends supplier-specific purchase orders without rebuilding them elsewhere.
  3. 03Attach every supplier replyConfirmations, shortages, substitutions, price changes, and ETAs update the order instead of sitting in an inbox.
  4. 04Push clean records backReceiving, final costs, invoice context, and fulfillment state are handed downstream after the order has changed.

Audit context on the order

Why separate the order from the evidence?

For regulated inventory, vendor status, lot details, receiving checks, and audit context need to stay attached to the purchase record, not scattered across spreadsheets.

Common questions

Scope, setup and receiving questions for regulated purchasingIllinois receiving guidance: Metrc bulletin IL_IB_0003. Confirm the current requirements for your own facility and jurisdiction.
LineNow supports purchasing, supplier records and receiving. Its Metrc connection can retrieve incoming transfer data and submit supported receipt decisions for a configured facility. It does not replace a complete seed-to-sale system or establish that every required state report, sale, transfer or production event is covered.
Yes. A configured Metrc connection supports manifest lookup, package quantities and package lab-result retrieval. Receiving can submit acceptance, rejection and downward adjustments in supported cases. The current short-receipt path uses Damaged During Transfer, and rejection uses Transfer Error. Confirm these reasons fit the actual event. External calls happen before the local save, but a later failure can leave Metrc ahead; reconcile the state before retrying.
LineNow offers connections with Lightspeed Retail X-Series and R-Series, Square, Shopify, Toast, Clover, Faire and Amazon. Connection methods and data coverage differ. For regulated goods, separately confirm that your POS, commerce platform and payment provider permit the product category and that the required state reporting remains covered.
Configure the connection with the appropriate state, facility license and Metrc User Key. Confirm access to the facility and the required endpoints, then test the supported manifest and receiving cases. Sandbox testing uses separately configured credentials; validate the selected environment before any receipt is submitted.
The manifest lookup retrieves available package and shipment data. A COA State Pull can query lab results for a package and save the returned results against its label. Available fields and documents depend on the source record and access. Review what was retrieved; a manifest or lab-result record alone is not a complete inspection packet.
The current integration uses acceptance followed by a downward adjustment, or package rejection, for supported variance cases. Illinois bulletin IL_IB_0003 describes alternatives to partial acceptance for Illinois transfers. That bulletin is not a rule for every jurisdiction; confirm the permitted workflow and current reason codes for your facility.
Regulated Items is a $50/month add-on that auto-enables the moment you save the first item marked regulated, and auto-cancels at the next renewal once no items are marked regulated anymore. Proration is applied — you pay only for the portion of the billing cycle you used it.
Each supplier line has a Compliance dialog where you can capture the license details from a document you reviewed (number, type, jurisdiction, issue and expiry) or request the license from the supplier. Replies are extracted, queued for review, and saved with the verifier and timestamp. Once verified, every PO with that supplier inherits the license status.
A receipt can be split into multiple lots with their quantities and expiration dates. The resulting inventory layers retain receipt and lot context for review. Verify how your operational system selects eligible stock, handles quarantine and performs a recall; recording expiry does not by itself establish a complete picking or recall workflow.
Mark an item regulated and choose which documents your team wants to track — Vendor License, Certificate of Analysis, or Transfer Manifest. LineNow shows missing, attached, verified, and rejected status while ordering and receiving. An authorized buyer can acknowledge the current status and proceed when the evidence is incomplete.
Yes. From the same Compliance dialog, select a document and click Request. The supplier gets an email; replies are routed back into LineNow, parsed into structured fields, and queued for review. The record stays pending until a manager verifies or rejects it.
Receipts retain supplier, order, lot and expiry context, while procurement documents retain their source and current review status. These records help assemble supporting evidence. The responsible team still determines the complete record set, retention rules and response process for the inspection or recall.
Lot, expiry, supplier-license and document records can support purchasing in those categories. Fit depends on the product, jurisdiction and required integrations. Drug tracing, clinical records, manufacturing quality controls and non-Metrc state filing are separate requirements to verify; the document workflow does not establish regulatory approval.
Evaluate LineNow for supplier orders, purchasing documents and receiving alongside the POS and state-tracking systems your operation requires. Demonstrate the exact handoff with your existing systems before deciding what can remain or change; a generic POS integration does not establish regulated-category coverage.
Setup depends on the catalog, supplier documents, source-system access and facility-specific validation. A practical pilot connects one supplier and tests an ordinary receipt, a split lot, a document exception and the accounting handoff. Agree the required checks and scope before setting a rollout date.
The Regulated Items add-on automatically cancels at your next renewal — you keep access through the paid period, then billing drops. If you re-flag any item as regulated before renewal, the cancellation is voided and nothing extra is charged.
