Digital Wave Technology has announced the launch of its AI-native Purchase Order Management solution, a new application designed to address common inefficiencies in the supply chain process. The solution is built on the company’s ONE℠ Platform, providing a centralized system to create, track, and manage purchasing activities with embedded AI functionality.

Purchase orders document pricing, quantities, delivery dates, and vendor expectations. Many businesses continue to rely on legacy EDI systems, which often lack integration with merchandising and financial planning. This disconnect can result in unseen changes, delayed decisions, and reduced visibility.

Digital Wave’s new application consolidates multi-channel order information into a single platform. It enables real-time updates, enhances workflow efficiency, and reduces manual entry errors. The AI-native design supports decision-making by providing visibility across global operations and surfacing real-time vendor commitments.

“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.”

The PO Management solution is integrated with Digital Wave’s Merchandise Financial Planning, Assortment Planning, and Allocation tools. Every order change is automatically reflected across financial forecasts, inventory flow, and assortment plans. This ensures improved coordination between merchandising and supply chain teams.

AI-powered automation drives the full PO workflow, from order creation to approvals. The system flags potential risks, suggests corrections, and provides exception management to align purchase orders with demand and budget objectives. It supports various buying scenarios, including seasonal, recurring, or one-off orders.

The new application is part of Digital Wave Technology’s expanding suite of AI-native solutions built on the ONE Platform. It is designed to improve transparency, accuracy, and alignment across business functions using a unified source of data.
