Most supply chain operations run on a patchwork of disconnected systems — inventory data in one place, order status in another, supplier confirmations arriving by email. Perimattic builds custom supply chain software that connects these fragments into a single operational platform: inventory management systems, warehouse management software, logistics platforms, order orchestration, and the ERP integrations that make it all work together.
Supply Chain Technology Stack — Node.js, Python, AWS, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Docker, React, Kubernetes, REST APIs, Redis, TypeScript, GraphQL
Supply chain software development is the design, engineering, integration, and support of platforms that manage the movement of goods, data, and financial transactions across a supply network. It spans a broad range — inventory management systems, warehouse management software, order orchestration platforms, transportation management systems, supplier portals, procurement tools, and the integration middleware that connects all of these to ERP and third-party logistics systems. Unlike off-the-shelf supply chain products, custom software is engineered around the specific workflows, integration landscape, and operational constraints of the business rather than adapting the business to fit a packaged product.
The practical challenge for most enterprise supply chains is fragmentation. Inventory data lives in a WMS that does not speak directly to the order management system. Supplier confirmations arrive by email and get manually keyed into ERP. Shipment tracking requires logging into multiple carrier portals. Analytics are assembled from system exports into spreadsheets hours or days after the events they describe. Operations teams spend a significant portion of their working time bridging these gaps rather than managing the supply chain itself. The cost shows up as delayed orders, inventory discrepancies, supplier payment errors, and an inability to respond quickly to supply disruption.
Perimattic builds supply chain platforms that address this fragmentation directly. Every engagement begins with a thorough discovery of the existing operational landscape — current systems, data flows, integration dependencies, and pain points — before any platform decisions are made. We then design an integration architecture that connects supply chain systems through structured, maintainable interfaces rather than point-to-point customisations. And we deliver in phases, producing working software at each step rather than at the end of a long project. The result is a connected supply chain platform that gives operations teams real-time visibility and the operational control they need.

The cost of fragmented supply chain systems becomes visible when a delayed shipment cannot be tracked because it requires logging into three different carrier portals, when an inventory count is wrong because the WMS and ERP reconcile daily rather than in real time, or when a supplier dispute cannot be resolved because purchase orders and confirmations exist only in email threads.
Seven specialist service lines covering the full supply chain software lifecycle — from platform development and inventory management through warehouse management, logistics, order orchestration, procurement, and analytics.
End-to-end development of custom supply chain management platforms connecting supplier, inventory, order, and logistics operations into a single data architecture. Built around your specific workflows rather than adapted from a packaged product that requires your operations to conform to its model.
Custom inventory management systems providing real-time multi-location stock visibility, automated reorder workflows, cycle counting, and ERP integration. We build the data capture layer — barcode scanning, goods-in confirmation, pick confirmation — and the event-driven update architecture that keeps stock positions accurate without batch reconciliation.
Purpose-built WMS platforms covering goods-in, putaway, pick, pack, despatch, and returns — engineered to your specific warehouse layout, handling rules, and ERP integration requirements. We build mobile scanning workflows, labour management tooling, and the integration interfaces that connect your WMS to carrier systems and order management platforms.
Custom logistics platforms handling carrier rate management, shipment booking, route optimisation, track-and-trace, and delivery confirmation — integrated with order management, warehouse, and customer notification systems. We build the carrier API integrations, shipment event processing pipelines, and visibility dashboards that keep logistics operations running without manual chasing.
Order management systems orchestrating the full order lifecycle from placement through picking, packing, despatch, and delivery confirmation across multiple fulfilment channels and locations. We build the routing logic, allocation rules, ERP integration, and customer notification workflows that replace manual order coordination with automated multi-system orchestration.
Custom supplier portals, procurement workflow platforms, and vendor management systems that structure the relationship between your business and its supply base. We build the request-for-quote workflows, purchase order management, delivery confirmation, and performance tracking tools that replace email-driven procurement with structured, auditable data exchange.
Supply chain analytics platforms aggregating inventory, order, shipment, supplier, and demand data into operational dashboards and management reporting. We build the data pipelines, aggregation layer, and visualisation tooling that turn fragmented supply chain data from multiple systems into a single source of operational truth.
A structured six-stage process from free discovery and scoping through production deployment and ongoing platform support.
We map your existing systems, operational workflows, integration landscape, data flows, and pain points. This free session produces a clear picture of your current state — system dependencies, data quality issues, and integration gaps — before any platform or architecture decisions are made.
We document the target operational workflows in detail: order flows, inventory movements, supplier interactions, fulfilment steps, and exception handling. We identify all integration dependencies, design the target system architecture, and produce a phased delivery roadmap.
We design the platform architecture and build a proof of concept against the highest-risk component — typically the primary ERP integration or real-time inventory data flow — to validate the approach and surface any data quality or technical risks before full development investment begins.
We develop the platform incrementally, delivering working software at each phase. We build and integrate the supply chain platform with ERP, warehouse management, carrier, and third-party logistics systems, implementing authentication, error handling, and retry logic throughout.
We test the platform against real operational scenarios including high-volume conditions, integration failure modes, and edge cases in order and inventory logic. We run user acceptance testing with your operations team before any production deployment.
We deploy to production with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure monitoring, alerting, and operational runbook documentation. We support the post-deployment period and offer engineering retainers for ongoing platform evolution, feature development, and performance optimisation.

Retailers and e-commerce operators require supply chain software that connects inventory, order management, fulfilment, and returns into a single operational system — with real-time visibility at every point in the customer journey.
Retailers and e-commerce operators require supply chain software that connects inventory, order management, fulfilment, and returns into a single operational system — with real-time visibility at every point in the customer journey.
Manufacturers depend on supply chain software to connect inbound materials, production scheduling, and finished goods distribution — removing the manual coordination that creates production delays and inventory imbalances.
Third-party logistics operators require multi-client supply chain platforms that deliver operational visibility, billing accuracy, and service-level reporting across a complex mix of customers, carriers, and warehouse operations.
Food and grocery supply chains operate under strict traceability requirements, short product shelf lives, and complex cold chain constraints — making integrated, real-time software an operational necessity rather than a convenience.
Healthcare supply chains operate under regulatory obligations for serialisation, cold chain integrity, and controlled substance tracking — requiring software built to compliance standards from the ground up.
Distributors and wholesalers need supply chain platforms that manage high SKU volumes, complex customer pricing, multi-warehouse stock allocation, and inbound supplier coordination without manual intervention.

Four structural advantages that separate supply chain platforms built for real operational environments from systems that work in a demo but fragment under production conditions.
Every supply chain engagement begins with a thorough mapping of your existing systems, data flows, integration dependencies, and operational workflows. We understand how your supply chain actually runs before designing software for it — not after. This prevents the most common failure mode: building a technically sound platform that does not match the operational reality it needs to serve.
Supply chain operations typically accumulate fragile point-to-point connections between ERP, WMS, OMS, and carrier systems. We design structured integration architectures — API-driven, event-based, and properly documented — that make systems interoperable without the brittleness that breaks under ERP upgrades or carrier changes.
Supply chain platforms are only valuable when connected to the systems that run your business. We have deep experience integrating with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, ERPNext, and a wide range of third-party logistics providers using REST APIs, EDI/AS2, and event-driven messaging. We handle the data mapping, error handling, and reconciliation logic that keeps systems in sync.
The team that maps your supply chain workflows and designs the platform architecture also builds, tests, and deploys it. There is no hand-off between strategy and delivery, no loss of operational context between phases. You work with the same engineering team from the discovery call through production deployment and post-launch support.
“Supply chain software that looks right in a demo but breaks when order volumes spike or a key integration changes is not an engineering success — it is a deferred operational problem. We build platforms that hold under real conditions.”
Supply chain software development is the design, engineering, integration, and support of software systems that manage the flow of goods, data, and finances across a supply network. It covers a wide range of platforms: inventory management systems, warehouse management software, order management systems, transportation management platforms, supplier portals, demand planning tools, procurement software, and the integration middleware that connects these systems with ERP and third-party logistics platforms. Unlike off-the-shelf supply chain products, custom supply chain software is engineered to the specific operational processes, system landscape, and integration requirements of the business.
Off-the-shelf supply chain platforms solve common problems well but impose their own data models, workflows, and integration patterns on your operations. Businesses with complex supplier networks, non-standard fulfilment logic, multi-warehouse operations, or deep ERP integrations frequently find that packaged platforms require expensive customisation to match what they actually need — or force operational compromises that reduce efficiency. Custom supply chain software is built around your specific workflows, integrates cleanly with your existing systems, and evolves as your operations change without dependency on a vendor's product roadmap.
We build the full range of supply chain platforms: inventory management systems with real-time multi-location stock visibility, warehouse management software covering goods-in, putaway, pick, pack, and despatch, order management systems with multi-channel fulfilment orchestration, transportation and logistics management platforms, supplier relationship and procurement portals, demand planning and forecasting tools, supply chain analytics and reporting dashboards, EDI and third-party logistics integrations, and the integration middleware connecting these systems with ERP platforms. We work across retail, manufacturing, logistics, food and grocery, healthcare, and distribution sectors.
Yes. ERP integration is a core part of almost every supply chain software engagement. We design and build structured integration layers — using REST APIs, event-driven messaging, and middleware — that connect supply chain platforms with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, ERPNext, and other enterprise platforms. We handle authentication, data mapping, error handling, and retry logic as part of the integration work. We always begin with a thorough discovery of your existing integration landscape before designing the target architecture, so we understand existing dependencies before making changes.
Yes. Legacy supply chain software — whether custom-built inventory systems, ageing warehouse management platforms, or outdated ERP customisations — can often be modernised incrementally rather than replaced entirely. We assess the existing system, identify which components are sound and which are constraining the business, and design a modernisation path that delivers business value at each phase. Depending on the situation, this may involve adding API layers to legacy systems, migrating specific components to cloud infrastructure, or replacing high-risk modules while retaining stable ones.
Third-party logistics integration depends on the 3PL's technical capabilities. Modern 3PLs typically provide REST APIs or SFTP-based EDI connections for order despatch, shipment confirmation, and stock position data. Legacy or smaller 3PLs may provide flat file or EDI-only interfaces. We design the integration layer for your specific 3PL mix, implement the data exchange, and build the error handling and monitoring that keeps inventory and order data in sync between your systems and the warehouse or carrier. We have experience with a wide range of 3PL integration patterns including EDI X12, EDIFACT, AS2, and REST.
Yes, and it is one of the most common objectives for custom supply chain software engagements. Real-time inventory visibility requires the right combination of data capture at the point of movement — barcode scanning at goods-in, pick, despatch, and returns — and a data architecture that propagates those events to inventory records immediately rather than in batch. We design and build the full stack: mobile scanning applications, event-driven inventory update services, and the reporting layer that makes current stock levels available to operations, sales, and customer service teams without manual reconciliation.
We are technology-agnostic and select the stack based on the requirements. For backend services we typically use Node.js, Python, Java, or .NET. For cloud infrastructure we work with AWS, Azure, and GCP using containerised deployments on Kubernetes. For databases we use PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis, with Kafka for high-volume event streaming. For frontends we use React and Next.js. For integrations we implement REST APIs, GraphQL, EDI/AS2, and webhook patterns. We select the right tools for the problem rather than applying a fixed stack.
We follow a structured six-stage process: a free discovery and scoping session to map your current systems, workflows, and integration landscape; a systems and workflow mapping phase that documents the target state; a solution architecture and proof-of-concept phase to validate the highest-risk integration or data flow; platform development and integration; testing, validation, and user acceptance; and deployment with monitoring and ongoing support. We deliver working software at each phase rather than at the end of the engagement, so you see progress and can redirect early if priorities change.
We deliver supply chain software across retail and e-commerce, manufacturing and industrial, third-party logistics, food and grocery, healthcare and pharmaceutical, and distribution and wholesale sectors. Each sector has specific data requirements, compliance obligations, integration patterns, and operational workflows that shape the software architecture. We begin every engagement by understanding the specific operational context — supply chain structure, existing systems, integration landscape, and compliance requirements — before designing the platform.
