What kind of stores is Inventor-Ease for?

Any multi-vendor retailer who sources goods from other brands — outdoor stores, home goods, gift shops, kids stores, kitchen supplies, and more. If you go to market and manage incoming inventory from multiple vendors, this is for you.

Do I need to be on Shopify to use Inventor-Ease?

Currently, yes. Inventor-Ease connects to your Shopify store to sync products and inventory. We may support other platforms in the future.

How does Inventor-Ease parse purchase orders?

Upload a PDF, photo, or CSV of your purchase order. Our system reads it and extracts every product name, SKU, quantity, price, and detail automatically. You review and confirm before anything is saved.

Can my whole team use Inventor-Ease?

Yes! Inventor-Ease supports multiple users with owner, admin, and team member roles. Your buyer can upload POs from market, your receiving team can verify shipments on a tablet, and you can see everything from anywhere.

How long does Inventor-Ease setup take?

Minutes. Connect your Shopify store, invite your team, and upload your first PO. We also offer white-glove onboarding if you want a hand getting started.

What does Inventor-Ease cost?

Plans start at $49/month with 5 free orders to try it out. No credit card required to start. Growth ($99/mo) and Pro ($199/mo) plans available for busier stores.

The messy middle, handled

Retailers, we built
this for you.

Between buying for your store and selling to your customers, there's a mess. The tools built for people behind computers don't understand it. We do.

Your single source of truth for every purchase order — scan, track, receive, verify, and publish to Shopify. The entire incoming inventory workflow, done in seconds.

Markets, tradeshows, Faire, road reps — wherever you buy.

One tool. All of this.

The real cost

How much time are you
losing to data entry?

Every PO takes about an hour to process manually. Retyping line items. Cross-referencing costs. Fixing formatting. Then doing it again when the shipment arrives.

Your numbers

Purchase orders per month15

160

Hours spent per month15h

Monthly labor cost$270

Annual cost$3,240

Based on $18/hr average retail labor · ~1 hour per PO including receiving · Does not include error correction costs

That's $3,240 a year on manual data entry.

And roughly 1 in 5 entries has an error that costs you money downstream. That's before you count the hours spent fixing Shopify listings with wrong prices or missing descriptions.

How it works

One tool for the entire
messy middle.

Between buying at market and selling in your store, there's a gap. POs get lost, prices get wrong, and Shopify data gets messy. We own that gap.

Drop a PO. Get clean data.

Upload a purchase order and the Smart Scanner reads it like a human — vendor shorthand, retail jargon, however your suppliers format it. Every line item, cost, and detail pulled in seconds.

Smart Descriptions

Not another generic
description generator.

Most tools write vague filler. Ours demands specifics from your actual product data — material, fit, color, occasion — because that's what Google Shopping needs and what your customers search for.

Generic tools write this

“This beautiful dress is perfect for any occasion. Made with high-quality materials, it features a flattering silhouette that will make you feel confident and stylish. Available in multiple colors.”

Zero specifics. Zero SEO value. Could describe any dress ever made.

We write this

“A-line midi dress in lightweight cotton voile with a coastal blue print. Smocked bodice with adjustable straps, side pockets, and a relaxed fit through the hip. Lined. Falls just below the knee. Runs true — size up if between sizes.”

MaterialFitColorLengthSizing note

Real attributes. Real SEO value. Matches what people actually search for.

80% of shoppers research products online before visiting a store. If your product pages say nothing useful, they scroll past.

Smart Descriptions pull real details from the purchase order — materials, sizing, construction — and write copy that actually helps your products get found. In your brand voice.

Product Images

Images that sell. Found for you.

Your vendors already have product photos. We pull them in, format them for Shopify, and attach them to the right products. No more downloading, renaming, and uploading one by one.

The slowest part of inventory — handled.

The bigger picture

Your catalog is the
foundation of everything.

Every analytics tool, every marketing platform, every customer-facing app depends on your product data being clean and complete. Most retailers don't have the time to get it right.

Analytics

Needs clean data

Email marketing

Needs real descriptions

Customer apps

Needs accurate inventory

Social selling

Needs good product info

We make your catalog the source of truth
so everything else works better.

Your team, your vendors

Everyone on the same page. Finally.

Your buyer uploads POs from market. Your receiving team verifies shipments. You see everything from anywhere. No more chasing spreadsheets or wondering who moved what.

Built for the whole team

No training manual needed. Your summer intern can use it on day one. Roles and permissions keep the right people in the right places — your team doesn’t need access to vendor pricing or sales data.

Owner to intern. Everyone contributes.

Vendor CRM

Contact info, order history, payment terms, markup defaults — all captured automatically when you scan a PO. Build a real vendor database without the busywork.

Your vendor rolodex, digitized.

Save on Shopify seats

Stop buying extra Shopify logins for staff who just need to manage inventory. They work here instead. That’s real money back in your pocket every month.

Considering section

Planning for market? Track the vendors and products you’re thinking about before you commit to buying. When you’re ready, convert them to real orders.

Activity log

Every action tracked. Every PO upload, every receiving verification, every product publish. No more “who did what?” Your whole team can see exactly what happened and when.

Error logging & claims

When a shipment comes in wrong — damaged goods, missing items, wrong sizes — document it with photos right in the app. Build your case for vendor claims with real evidence.

Why we built this

“We know the job because we've done the job — and we built the tool we wished we had.”

I've been in retail since 2008. I spent ten years building, scaling, and selling Amor Lafayette — a women's clothing company with a real store and an online shop. Over those years I watched tool after tool pop up for e-commerce. None of them got what it's actually like to run a multi-vendor brick-and-mortar store.

So we built the one we wished we had.

We're all in that the next big thing in commerce has been there all along — community builders and curators, just now armed with better tools to compete against the big guys.
