Running supply chain operations where your team only knows about a supplier delay or stockout when it's already affecting your production line or customer orders?
Your ERP giving you inventory numbers but no visibility into what's in transit, what's at risk, or which purchase orders are going to miss their expected arrival?
Supply Chain Software Development
Supply chain software built for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers -- demand forecasting, inventory planning, supplier portals, purchase order management, and end-to-end visibility beyond what your ERP shows.
Built for operations teams who find out about supplier delays and stockouts after they have already affected production or customer orders, and who need a system that gives them that information while there is still time to act.
Demand forecasting and inventory planning with reorder automation
Purchase order management and supplier portal for PO acknowledgement and delivery tracking
Multi-location inventory across warehouses, distribution centres, and in-transit stock
ERP integration with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics
RaftLabs builds custom supply chain software -- demand forecasting and inventory planning using sales history and seasonality data; purchase order management with supplier portals for PO acknowledgement and delivery date tracking; multi-location inventory management across warehouses and in-transit stock; supply chain visibility dashboards with end-to-end shipment tracking; and integration with ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics. Supply chain software is appropriate for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who need visibility and control beyond what their ERP provides.

Finding out about a supplier delay when it is already too late is not a supply chain problem. It is a visibility problem.
Most ERPs are built to record what happened -- purchase orders raised, goods received, invoices matched. They are not built to tell you what is about to go wrong. By the time your ERP shows a stockout or a missed PO delivery, the damage is already done: a production line is waiting, a customer order is late, or a warehouse is holding three months of the wrong product.
Supply chain software sits on top of your existing systems and gives your team the data they need to act before problems reach the warehouse floor. Demand signals update forecasts. Supplier confirmations are tracked automatically. In-transit stock is visible on a single dashboard. Exceptions surface themselves instead of waiting for someone to notice in a spreadsheet.
What we build
Demand forecasting and inventory planning
Statistical forecasting models built from your sales history and seasonality patterns, calculated per SKU and per location. Safety stock levels set to cover your lead time variability at your chosen service level. Reorder point automation triggers purchase requisitions when stock drops below threshold. Out-of-stock risk alerts flag SKUs at risk before they run out. Overstock alerts identify slow-moving inventory before it ties up working capital. Scenario planning lets your team model the inventory impact of a demand spike, a supplier delay, or a promotional campaign before committing to purchase orders.
Purchase order management
PO creation and multi-level approval workflow before orders are sent to suppliers. Supplier assignment and contracted pricing applied automatically at PO creation. PO acknowledgement tracking so you know which suppliers have confirmed and which have not responded. Delivery date commitment management with alerts when a supplier misses or changes a committed date. Partial delivery handling for POs received in multiple shipments. Three-way matching against goods received notes and supplier invoices to identify quantity and price discrepancies before payment.
Supplier portal and collaboration
A supplier-facing web portal where your suppliers log in to acknowledge POs, update delivery dates, upload shipping documents, submit invoices, and share tracking information for in-transit shipments. Suppliers update their own delivery status directly rather than emailing or calling your procurement team. Quality documentation upload for goods requiring certificates of conformance or test reports. The portal reduces the email and phone coordination that consumes procurement team time on every active PO, and gives you a documented audit trail of every supplier commitment.
Multi-location inventory management
Real-time inventory by SKU across all warehouses, distribution centres, and in-transit stock in one view. Inventory reservation for confirmed customer orders so committed stock is not available for reallocation. Stock transfer management between locations with transfer order workflow and receiving confirmation. Inventory valuation by FIFO or weighted average cost per SKU. Low stock alerts by location so warehouse managers act before customer orders are affected. The single inventory view your operations team needs when stock is spread across multiple locations and your ERP only shows warehouse-level totals.
Supply chain visibility dashboard
End-to-end shipment tracking from supplier despatch to warehouse receipt, consolidated from carrier tracking APIs and supplier portal updates into a single timeline per purchase order. Exception alerts for shipments delayed at origin, in transit, or held at customs -- surfaced automatically without someone checking each carrier website. ETA prediction based on current location and carrier performance data. Customer-facing order status available from the same data without your team sending manual update emails. The dashboard that tells your operations team what is on time, what is at risk, and what needs action today.
ERP and WMS integration
Integration with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, or your custom ERP for inventory balances, purchase orders, goods receipts, and financial data. WMS integration for warehouse operations so pick, pack, and despatch events flow back into the supply chain layer. Bi-directional sync so the supply chain platform reads from your system of record and writes confirmed events back -- PO receipts, inventory adjustments, and supplier invoice approvals update your ERP rather than creating a second source of truth. Integration approach depends on your ERP's API capability: REST API, SOAP, JDBC, or file-based EDI where API access is not available.
Frequently asked questions
An ERP is a system of record -- it stores and processes transactions: purchase orders, goods receipts, inventory movements, invoices, and financial postings. It is built for accuracy and auditability. Supply chain software is a decision support layer -- it takes data from your ERP and other sources, analyses it, and tells your operations team what is happening and what to do next. The two serve different purposes and work best together. Most businesses that need supply chain software already have an ERP; the supply chain platform fills the visibility and planning gap that the ERP does not cover without extensive customisation.
Yes -- this is the most common project type we deliver in this area. We build a supply chain visibility and planning layer that integrates with your existing ERP via API or data export, pulls in supplier updates via a supplier portal, tracks in-transit shipments via carrier APIs, and presents everything in dashboards and alerts your team can act on. Your ERP remains the system of record. The supply chain layer reads from it, adds visibility data from outside your ERP (supplier updates, carrier tracking, demand signals), and writes confirmed events back. No ERP migration required.
Supplier data quality is one of the main practical challenges in supply chain visibility. We handle it with a combination of automated chasing, data validation, and exception escalation. The supplier portal sends automated reminders when a supplier has not acknowledged a PO or updated a delivery date within a defined window. Tracking data from carrier APIs is used to fill gaps where suppliers have not uploaded shipping documents. When tracking data is missing entirely -- for example, a supplier using a carrier without API tracking -- the system flags the shipment as untracked and escalates to your procurement team for manual follow-up. Data quality does not reach 100% for every supplier, but the system makes the gaps visible rather than hiding them.
A supply chain visibility layer that integrates with one ERP, adds a supplier portal, and provides a dashboard and exception alerting typically runs $40,000--$80,000. A full platform with demand forecasting, inventory planning, multi-location inventory management, purchase order management, supplier portal, and ERP plus WMS integration typically runs $80,000--$180,000. Cost depends on the number of ERP and WMS integrations, supplier portal complexity, and the sophistication of the forecasting models. We scope every project before pricing it.
