With integrated vendors, we can send your purchase order directly to their ordering systems and provide instant stock availability. With non-integrated vendors, you can print and mail or email your Lightspeed Retail-generated purchase order.

NOTE: Giant, Hawley and Quality Bicycle Product integrations do real-time stock level checks.

Catalog sync

We automatically download the vendor’s complete catalog each night and make sure you have the latest items and price information. You can configure whether or not you update the price, cost or description from the main menu by clicking Inventory > Vendors.

Purchase order upload

Create a purchase order in Lightspeed Retail and instantly relay it to selected vendors for fulfillment.

Invoice download

After a vendor has fulfilled an order, you can download and import the invoice for easy inventory maintenance.

Instead of creating the order within Lightspeed Retail, you place the order with your vendor and download the Invoice onto a purchase order. Select the vendor invoice number with the date and order total ($) next to it. After you click Import / Synchronize Invoice, all of your items appear in the purchase order. You can now check-in the inventory and mark the order as finished.

Stock levels

Daily in-stock information enables you to see if a vendor has an item in stock or if it is backordered.

NOTE: Giant, Hawley and Quality Bicycle Product integrations do real-time stock level checks.

Multiple locations

For vendors with multiple warehouses, Lightspeed Retail supports checking stock levels and making purchase orders for each vendor warehouse location.
