The spreadsheet problem

A typical growing reseller runs POs out of a spreadsheet: a row per PO, a PDF emailed to the vendor, then a wait. When half the order arrives, someone crosses out line items in one sheet and forgets to update another, and two months later a duplicate order goes out because nobody was sure the first one had closed. This is how shrinkage hides and how a $30,000 PO turns into $2,400 of mystery write-offs.

What Rilk does

Every PO is a structured document with line items, costs, receive-by dates, payment terms, and a status that updates as units arrive. Partial receipts are first-class — you can receive five of twenty on Tuesday and the rest on Friday without breaking anything.

Full PO lifecycle from draft, to sent, to in-transit, to partially received, to fully received, to closed — with timestamps at every stage

Partial-receipt tracking so you can split shipments without splitting the PO

Dropship POs for orders that ship vendor-direct to your customer, with the customer order and vendor PO kept linked

Per-PO landed cost that adds freight, broker fees, and any additional charges across the line items by volume, weight, or share

Vendor performance reporting so you can see which vendors hit their receive-by dates and which slip

Payment terms structured, not free-text — net-30, deposit/balance splits, immediate payment, custom

How it changes your day

Writing the PO in Rilk and sending it produces a clean PDF for the vendor. When the shipment arrives, your warehouse team scans the boxes on a phone and the line items tick off in real time, with costs allocating to each unit automatically — cutting ninety minutes of admin per PO down to about ten. A dropship PO links to the customer order the moment you create it, so tracking flows back automatically when the vendor ships and nothing gets lost in the chain.

Frequently asked questions

What makes purchase order software for resellers different from a generic PO tool?

Stock arrives in pieces, so partial receipts are first-class — take five of twenty on Tuesday and the rest on Friday without splitting the PO — and every unit keeps the PO it came from and what it cost. The whole lifecycle is timestamped from draft to closed, and any PO exports as a PDF you can email straight to the vendor.

Does Rilk handle dropship purchase orders?

Yes — when an item ships vendor-direct to your customer, the vendor PO and the customer order stay linked from the moment you create it: the vendor sees the delivery address, tracking flows back to the customer order when they ship.

How is landed cost calculated on a purchase order?

Freight, broker fees, and any additional charges on the PO spread across its line items by weight, by volume, or by line value — your call — so a heavy SKU absorbs more freight than a light one and the per-unit cost basis reflects what the stock actually cost to land.
