Company
Company facts, boilerplate, documented customer results, brand assets and a press contact for journalists writing about B2B order automation on Shopify. Everything on this page is verifiable, and we will say so plainly when something is not.
LevelOps is a Montreal based operations and technology company working with manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers. Alongside its ERP, MRP and Shopify implementation practice, it builds PDF to Order, an application that reads the purchase orders a wholesaler's customers send by email, as PDF, Excel, CSV, Word or plain text, matches every line against the seller's Shopify catalogue, applies that account's contracted B2B pricing, and creates a Shopify draft order for a person to approve. The company's position is that automation in order flow should always be checkable: nothing is committed or shipped without a human signing off, and the source document stays attached to the order.
That paragraph is cleared for direct quotation and does not need to be checked with us before publication.
Short form, 25 words. LevelOps builds PDF to Order, a Shopify app that turns emailed purchase orders into validated draft orders for wholesalers, with a human approving every order.
Standard form, 55 words. LevelOps is a Montreal operations and technology company serving manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers.

Long form, 95 words. LevelOps is an operations and technology company based in Montreal, Quebec, and a product of Obius Inc. It works with manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers in Canada, the United States and Europe, implementing ERP, MRP and Shopify systems, and it builds PDF to Order, an application for Shopify B2B merchants. PDF to Order reads purchase orders that arrive as PDF, Excel, CSV, Word documents, scans or email text, matches each line to the merchant's Shopify catalogue including when buyers use their own part numbers, applies the price list agreed with that account, and creates a Shopify draft order for a person to review and approve. The app holds a 5.0 rating and Built for Shopify status on the Shopify App Store. LevelOps operates in English and French.
Everything here can be checked against a public source or against a published customer case study on this site. Nothing on this list is an estimate.
Written for a reader who does not work in wholesale. Each card is a claim we can demonstrate on request.
Business to business buyers do not check out on a website. They send a purchase order, and somebody at the supplier retypes it into their system, line by line, from whatever format the buyer chose. Merchants describe five to ten minutes per order.
PDF attachments, Excel and CSV files, Word documents, scanned and handwritten forms, and plain text in the body of an email. No template is configured per customer, which is the difference from older document parsing tools.
Each line is resolved against the merchant's own Shopify catalogue, including when the buyer orders by their internal part number or by a loose description. Lines that cannot be resolved with confidence are flagged rather than guessed.
From the merchant's Shopify price list for that account, never from the number printed on the buyer's document. This is a deliberate design rule, because accepting a stale price on a document is a common and expensive error.
At a Shopify draft order, with the source file attached. A person reviews, adjusts or rejects. Nothing is completed or shipped automatically, on any plan.
It is not an EDI gateway, not an order management system, and not a buyer portal. It handles the document driven channels that those tools leave alone, and it complements rather than replaces them.
Figures given to us by the merchants themselves and published as case studies on this site. Attribution is by company and role, and we ask that quotes be used with that attribution.
About 60% of our orders come to us as PDFs and other file types attached to emails. Before adopting LevelOps, our team spent considerable time manually processing orders by moving information from disparate customer files into Shopify.
Before LevelOps, B2B orders were entered manually or with Excel macros. Manual processing made the workload very unpredictable, especially on days with large orders that took enormous amounts of time.
An absolute timesaver. It is literally reading my PDF and uploading a 100+ item order in under 4 minutes. This just made us 10x more efficient.
Draft orders get entered by magic. Even when the PO contains a vague description and no SKU, this app can still match it.
If your story touches any of these, we can usually help with context, data or a spokesperson at short notice.
We do not maintain a list of press clippings here, and we will not present partner listings, app store placements or customer reviews as media coverage. If you are looking for third party validation, the honest sources are the Shopify App Store listing, the Shopify Partner Directory, and the customer case studies on this site.
When there is something genuinely new to announce, a product capability, a partnership or a milestone we can substantiate, it is published and dated in the news releases section. Each release names the public record behind its claims, so you can check them rather than take our word for it. This page stays a press kit: boilerplate, facts and assets for a journalist on a deadline.
If you are working on a story and need something that is not here, ask. If we have the data, you can have it. If we do not, we will tell you that instead of estimating.
