Half the typing gone, the week after a trade show.

Joey Desrosiers installed PDF to Order on the Salon Industriel de Terrebonne floor. Québec Tech published the result a few weeks later: half the manual entry gone, 99.9 percent order accuracy, and validation time down 95 percent, without asking buyers to change how they order.

01The Challenge

Complex B2B orders, each one with its own technical spec, arriving as files.

Canada Compressor Parts is a Quebec distributor of replacement parts for air compressors, sold under Rotamac Inc. The orders are B2B, frequent, and rarely simple. Each one carries technical specifications that belong to that buyer, and most of them arrive as Excel or PDF files that someone has to key into the system.

That is the ordinary industrial SME problem, and it is expensive in two directions at once. It eats time, and it produces the kind of error a wrong part number turns into a return.

High weekly volume of complex B2B orders
Unique technical specifications per client
Orders arriving as Excel or PDF rather than through a portal
Manual entry into the system of record, with the usual error rate that follows

02The Solution

Installed on the spot. Running the same week.

Joey Desrosiers, Business Development Manager at Rotamac Inc., the company behind the Canada Compressor Parts brand, met LevelOps on 23 October at the Salon Industriel de Terrebonne. He installed the app there. Québec Tech reported it was operational within two minutes, with no configuration project and no change to how buyers already sent orders.

PDF and Excel files are read, structured, validated and handed to Shopify. Joey has used it weekly since, on the full order load rather than on a pilot subset.

What I loved is that LevelOps adapted to how we work, without forcing us to change everything. I've tried other tools before, but never one that saved me this much time, this fast.Joey Desrosiers, Business Development Manager, Rotamac Inc., quoted by Québec Tech

03The Results

The numbers Québec Tech published a few weeks later.

Québec Tech wrote the public record of this engagement on 27 January 2026. The figures below are theirs, reported after a few weeks of weekly use, not a modelled year and not our instrumentation. We repeat them because a third party published them next to a named operator, which is a higher bar than a case study we wrote ourselves.

On some orders the time saving reached 100 percent, depending on complexity. The quote that matters more than the percentages is the one about not having to change how the team already worked.

Questions about Canada Compressor Parts

How were the results for Canada Compressor Parts measured?

From orders actually processed through PDF to Order, not from a survey or an estimate. Where a figure came from Canada Compressor Parts rather than from our own instrumentation, the page says so at the point it appears.

Would we see the same result?

Treat the figure as Canada Compressor Parts's, not a promise. Results move most with how many variants you carry, how consistent your customers' documents are and how clean your price lists already are, even within industrial equipment.

How long did setup take?

Installing takes about two minutes and the catalogue sync runs once, taking roughly two to five minutes depending on how many variants you carry. The forwarding address goes live as soon as the sync finishes, so most teams process a real order the same afternoon.

Does a person still check the orders?

Yes, at Canada Compressor Parts as everywhere else. Every order lands as a Shopify draft with the source file attached, and nothing is final until someone approves it.

How do we test this on our own orders?

The free plan covers your first five successful orders with no expiry. Run your real files through it to measure accuracy on your documents rather than on another merchant's.
