Supply Chain Software Development

Demand forecast generation from historical sales data with seasonal adjustment, trend analysis, and promotion uplift modelling. Safety stock calculated using configurable service level targets and lead time variability. A replenishment suggestion engine generates purchase recommendations by item, supplier, and location when projected stock falls below the reorder point. Forecast accuracy reporting shows the variance between predicted and actual demand by item and category. Exception management surfaces items with significant forecast deviation or stock risk for buyer review. Buyers get a data-driven signal they can act on with confidence, instead of a spreadsheet forecast.

Purchase order generation from replenishment suggestions or manual creation, with the supplier, terms, delivery location, and required delivery date pre-populated from the supplier and item master. Approval workflow by PO value and spend category routes orders to the right budget holder before release to the supplier. Supplier acknowledgement tracking confirms the supplier has accepted the PO and the confirmed delivery date. PO amendment workflow handles changes to quantity, delivery date, or price, communicates the amendment to the supplier, and preserves the change history. Three-way matching of PO, goods receipt, and supplier invoice before payment approval. The procurement workflow that removes the email chain from PO management and gives finance the matching data it needs.

A supplier-facing portal where suppliers view open purchase orders, confirm shipments with tracking details, submit invoices, and manage their account information. Supplier performance scorecards show on-time delivery rate, fill rate, lead time variance, and quality rejection rate over configurable time periods. Supplier onboarding collects company information, bank details, insurance certificates, and compliance documentation before a new supplier is activated. Approved supplier list management handles category assignments, preferred supplier flags, and annual review workflow. Supplier communication moves from email to a structured, measurable channel where both sides can see the same data.

Multi-location inventory view showing current stock, in-transit quantities, and incoming PO quantities across all warehouses, distribution centres, and production sites. Stock transfer management tracks inter-location movements from transfer order through despatch confirmation to receipt. Slow-moving and obsolete stock reporting identifies items with low consumption relative to their stock level. Expiry and batch tracking for perishable or lot-controlled inventory with FEFO (first expiry, first out) picking guidance. Dead stock reporting and write-off workflow included. Buyers and planners see the full stock picture without calling warehouse staff.

Inbound shipment visibility from supplier despatch through customs clearance to warehouse receipt, with the expected arrival date updated from carrier tracking data. Container and shipment management for import operations, with bill of lading, packing list, and customs documentation stored against the shipment. Delay alerting fires when an inbound shipment is running late, with automatic replenishment impact assessment. Landed cost calculation incorporates freight, duty, insurance, and other charges against the shipment. Goods receipt recording links quantity and quality inspection results to the purchase order and the inbound shipment. The weekly "where is my container?" call to the freight forwarder becomes unnecessary.

Supply chain performance dashboard showing the KPIs your procurement and operations leadership track: service level, stock turn, days of supply, supplier on-time delivery, and procurement cost savings. Category spend analysis shows expenditure by supplier, category, and cost centre with year-on-year comparison. Working capital reporting shows the stock investment by location and category relative to the days of supply it represents. Exception-based reporting surfaces the items, suppliers, and locations requiring management attention. Board-level supply chain reporting generates automatically, without the procurement manager assembling data from multiple sources at month end.
