Parts & industrial distributors
Turn buyer part numbers into the right Shopify variants.
Resolve customer part numbers, manufacturer identifiers, packs, locations, and address changes before an industrial B2B order becomes a Shopify draft.
Operational reality
Where order entry needs judgment
- Customers order with their own part numbers rather than your Shopify SKU.
- A manufacturer number may live in a product metafield instead of the SKU field.
- The same account can order for several plants with different catalogues and addresses.
- Boxes, reels, cartons, and case quantities need a buyer-specific conversion.
- A resent PO or changed delivery point can create an expensive operational mistake.
Example
A maintenance buyer sends “24 BX AC-4471” to its primary plant. PO Autopilot maps AC-4471 for that company location, applies the approved box conversion, and asks about the new ship-to address before creating the draft.
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.
