Apparel wholesalers
Resolve dense size and color variants without trusting an ambiguous description.
Read spreadsheet and emailed apparel orders, match exact identifiers where possible, and hold uncertain size or color variants for a merchant decision.
Operational reality
Where order entry needs judgment
- One style expands into many size and color variants with nearly identical descriptions.
- Wholesale buyers use shorthand or their own seasonal item numbers.
- Large assortment orders commonly arrive as spreadsheets.
- A description can look close to several variants even when only one is correct.
- An excluded, cancelled, or discontinued line should stay visible without reaching Shopify.
Example
A boutique sends a spreadsheet with “M / Slate” under its own style code. Exact customer-code mappings resolve known variants; an unfamiliar “Blue M” description is suggested but held for confirmation rather than silently assigned.
How PO Autopilot helps
Resolve what is supported. Hold what is uncertain.
PO Autopilot reads the order, resolves it against live Shopify B2B records, applies merchant-approved mappings, and turns uncertainty into a short review queue. The resulting Draft Order uses Shopify products, buyer context, prices, shipping options, and payment terms.
