Purchase Order Management Application Consolidates Multi-Channel Order Information Into a Single, Centralized AI-native System

PONTE VEDRA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digital Wave Technology, provider of the AI-native ONE℠ Platform powered by a unified Master Data Management foundation, today announced the launch of its AI-native Purchase Order Management solution, transforming one of the most underserved areas of the supply chain. By embedding AI directly into the purchase order (PO) process, Digital Wave Technology ensures data accuracy, streamlines workflows, and optimizes decision-making across global operations.

By embedding AI directly into the purchase order (PO) process, Digital Wave Technology ensures data accuracy, streamlines workflows, and optimizes decision-making across global operations.

Purchase orders are a critical part of the supply chain, documenting agreed-upon pricing, quantities, delivery dates, supplier expectations, and key information between companies and vendors. Yet many organizations still rely on EDI systems that capture transactions but lack integration with merchandising and financial planning. Without this connection, PO changes go unseen, creating financial blind spots and slowing critical supply chain decisions.

Digital Wave Technology changes this paradigm by consolidating multi-channel order information into a single, centralized AI-native system. Organizations can efficiently create, track, manage, and control purchasing activities while eliminating manual errors and enhancing operational efficiency.

A growing family of AI-native applications

Purchase Order Management is part of Digital Wave’s rapidly growing suite of AI-native solutions built on the ONE℠ Platform, which connects every function to the same master data for real-time updates and one version of the truth. Unlike point solutions or legacy ERP add-ons, Digital Wave’s PO Management is natively built on the ONE Platform, delivering real-time orchestration across product, pricing, assortment, and allocation decisions, ensuring merchandising and supply chain teams operate from a single source of truth.

The solution also captures vendor commitments in real time, eliminating the traditional gap where agreements are made in person but not reflected in systems until after the fact. By surfacing spend visibility from the category level up to executive reporting, Digital Wave ensures decisions are transparent, accurate, and aligned across the business.

Because Purchase Order Management is fully connected to Merchandise Financial Planning, Assortment Planning, and Allocation, retailers gain financial and operational visibility across the entire merchandising lifecycle. Every change to an order is instantly reflected in financial forecasts, inventory flow, and assortment plans, enabling proactive adjustments, faster decision-making, and stronger alignment between merchandising and supply chain operations.

AI-driven automation simplifies every step of PO Management

With Digital Wave Technology, Purchase Order Management provides unprecedented visibility into financial operations. AI-driven automation powers the entire workflow, from order initiation and vendor communication to approvals and status updates. It automatically flags risks, suggests adjustments, and enables smart exception management to ensure that purchase orders align with demand, budget, and fulfillment goals.

Whether managing recurring replenishment, seasonal buys, or one-off procurement, Digital Wave Technology’s Purchase Order Management eliminates manual processes, reduces errors, and delivers real-time insights into order performance across global operations.

“With PO Management, we’re eliminating one of the biggest blind spots in the supply chain,” said Lori Schafer, CEO, Digital Wave Technology. “By embedding AI directly into the process and connecting it with merchandising, we’re enabling retailers to protect margins, adapt to market shifts, and accelerate time-to-shelf with fast, flexible implementations that deliver measurable business value.”
