Your customers email you PDF purchase orders. Someone retypes them. That ends today.

OrderLift turns emailed POs into validated, SKU-matched, QuickBooks-ready files — every line checked against your item list, anything uncertain flagged for a human instead of guessed.

Send one real PO — free

Upload any PO below → structured file + exception report back within the hour. No signup, no call, no card.

1 exception: CL-8834 ordered as “each”; your item list sells it by 4-pack. Confirm before import — nothing gets guessed.

Handles: scanned PDFs · faxed-then-emailed pages · customer part numbers · mixed units & pack sizes · multi-page POs · handwritten quantities
§ 01 How it works

Three steps. No software to install, no ERP project.

Your team keeps working out of email — OrderLift sits behind one address and does the retyping and the checking.

1Forward

POs go to your OrderLift address

Forwarded by hand or auto-routed from your inbox. PDFs, scans, even ugly ones.

2Validate

Every line runs the checks

Read, then verified against your item list: SKU, unit of measure, pack size, price sanity. Mismatches don't get guessed — they get flagged.

3Import

Clean file back, same hour

A QuickBooks-import-ready CSV (or your column layout) plus a short exception list. Minutes, not hours.

§ 02 Validation, not just extraction

Every line runs a gauntlet before it touches your books.

Generic AI document tools read a PO and hand you whatever they think they saw. OrderLift verifies each line against your actual item list — and admits what it can't verify.

SKU matchCustomer part numbers mapped to your internal SKUs.
Unit of measure“Each” vs “case” vs “dozen” caught before it ships wrong.
Pack sizeOrdered quantities checked against how you actually sell the item.
Price sanityLine prices compared to your list — big deviations get flagged.
Duplicate detectionThe same PO forwarded twice doesn't become two orders.
Exception reportAnything uncertain lands on a short human-review list, never in your import file.
House rule

A line either verifies cleanly against your item list, or it's flagged. OrderLift never silently guesses — because one wrong pallet costs more than a year of this software.

§ 03 The math your ops manager already knows

§ 05 Questions distributors actually ask

Fine print, answered plainly.

Is my data safe?

POs are processed on Microsoft Azure in the US, used only to produce your output files, never used to train AI models, and deleted on request. Full details in the privacy policy.

What if a PO is unreadable or weird?

Lines we can't verify are flagged in the exception report, not invented. You'll always know exactly which lines a human should glance at.

Do you integrate directly with my ERP?

V1 delivers import-ready files (QuickBooks format by default, any column layout on request). Direct integrations are on the roadmap — founding customers pick which come first.

What does setup look like?

Send us your item list (CSV/Excel export). That's it — most customers process their first real PO within a day of signing up.

Who's behind this?

OrderLift is a small, founder-run operation that answers email fast and doesn't do sales calls. Try the free demo and judge the output on your own paperwork.

No signup required

Test it on one of your own POs.

No call, no deck, no trial account. Upload one real purchase order — redacted is fine — and get back the validated, import-ready file within the hour. Then decide.
