Supply Chain Software That Predicts, Not Reacts
Your supply chain runs on spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and best guesses about demand. We build software that replaces gut instinct with data — connecting procurement, inventory, and fulfillment into a single system where a demand signal in Tokyo triggers a purchase order in Shenzhen automatically.
What is Supply Chain Software Development?
Supply chain software development covers the systems that plan, source, make, and deliver products. This includes demand forecasting engines that predict what you will sell next quarter, procurement platforms that automate PO creation and supplier communication, inventory optimization that keeps safety stock right-sized, and risk monitoring that flags a port closure before it disrupts your inbound flow. Most companies start with an ERP like SAP or Oracle — our job is building the layers on top that handle what the ERP cannot do natively.
- ML-powered demand forecasting with 15-25% accuracy improvement over spreadsheet methods
- Supplier portal and procurement automation with PO lifecycle management
- Inventory optimization algorithms that balance carrying cost against stockout risk
- Supply chain risk monitoring with real-time event feeds from logistics and weather data
What We Build for Supply Chains
From raw material sourcing to final delivery, we build the software layer that ties your supply chain together.
Demand Forecasting Engines
ML models trained on your historical sales, promotions calendar, and external signals like weather and economic indicators. A consumer goods client improved forecast accuracy from 62% to 84% at the SKU-location level.
Inventory Optimization
Algorithms that calculate optimal reorder points, safety stock levels, and replenishment quantities across your distribution network. One retailer reduced excess inventory by $3.2M while maintaining 98.5% fill rate.
Procurement & Supplier Portals
End-to-end procurement platforms with RFQ management, supplier scorecards, contract lifecycle tracking, and automated three-way matching. Cuts purchase order cycle time from 5 days to same-day.
ERP Integration Layer
Pre-built connectors for SAP S/4HANA, Oracle SCM Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics, and NetSuite. We handle master data sync, transaction posting, and the inevitable data mapping nightmares between systems.
Supply Chain Visibility Platform
Real-time tracking of POs, shipments, and inventory across every node in your network. Map-based dashboards show exactly where goods are and flag delays before they cascade into stockouts.
Risk Monitoring & Compliance
Automated monitoring of supplier financial health, geopolitical events, port congestion, and weather disruptions. Compliance tracking for conflict minerals, ESG reporting, and trade sanctions screening.
Who Needs Custom Supply Chain Software?
ERP systems handle transactions. Custom software handles the decisions that sit on top of those transactions.
Multi-Channel Retailers
Retailers selling through stores, e-commerce, and marketplace channels need unified inventory visibility and demand signals. One omnichannel retailer reduced stockouts by 41% by pooling demand data across all channels into a single forecast.
Global Manufacturers
Manufacturers with suppliers on three continents need procurement automation, lead-time variability modeling, and multi-tier supplier visibility. A medical device maker cut procurement costs by 12% through automated supplier benchmarking.
Consumer Packaged Goods
CPG companies running promotions need demand sensing that adjusts forecasts weekly based on POS data, not monthly based on shipment history. One beverage brand reduced promotional overstock waste by 28%.
Pharmaceutical Distribution
Pharma distributors need lot tracking, expiration date management, DSCSA serialization compliance, and cold chain monitoring. Temperature excursion tracking alone saved one distributor $1.8M per year in spoilage costs.
How We Build Supply Chain Software
Supply chain software fails when developers do not understand the business. We start with your operations, not a wireframe.
Supply Chain Assessment
We map your end-to-end supply chain — suppliers, warehouses, distribution centers, carriers, and customers. We identify where data breaks, where manual work creates bottlenecks, and where the biggest ROI opportunities sit.
Data Strategy & ERP Integration Planning
We inventory your data sources — ERP transactions, POS feeds, supplier EDI, demand signals — and design the integration architecture. SAP RFC calls, Oracle REST APIs, flat-file imports: we figure out what connects how.
Core Platform Build
We build the foundational modules — data ingestion, master data management, and the core business logic. ML models for demand forecasting get trained on historical data during this phase so they are production-ready early.
User Testing with Real Planning Cycles
Planners and buyers use the system during an actual planning cycle while keeping their old tools as backup. We tune the algorithms based on how predictions compare to actual outcomes over 2-3 planning periods.
Rollout & Continuous Model Improvement
Phased rollout by region or product category. ML models retrain monthly on new data. We track forecast accuracy, fill rates, and procurement savings as the primary success metrics post-launch.

Supply Chain Software Development Questions Answered
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
ERP-native planning tools are good at statistical forecasting based on historical shipments. Our ML models go further by incorporating POS data, weather patterns, economic indicators, and promotional calendars as input signals. For a CPG client, this meant going from 65% MAPE at the SKU level with SAP APO to 82% accuracy with our custom model. The trade-off: custom models need ongoing tuning that packaged tools do not.
