SCM digital consulting

Eager to drive the next S-curve or willing to clear your supply chain hurdles through technology? Through in-depth analysis, process audits, and requirement elicitation, our digital experts find nuanced, effective solutions even to the most complex challenges while also discovering areas for improvement.

Greenfield supply chain system design

Our solution architects and lead developers build supply chain systems from scratch, with an eye toward your unique business needs, flows, data sources, and the complexity of your supply chain. We are also comfortable taking a hybrid approach to system design, combining the elements of greenfield and brownfield supply chains.

Configuration and customization of ready-made SCM software

Whether it’s UX/UI customization, workflow automation, or third-party module integration, our developers help adjust a canned SCM solution such as Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and others, to meet the specific processes, workflows, and data structures of your company.

API development and system integration

Dropped batons equal costly delays and disruptions. Our custom APIs unlock real-time data flows between partners and promote effective handoffs between different systems and services at every phase of your supply chain. We can also build a bridge between your existing software such as enterprise resource planning, warehouse management, and others for end-to-end supply chain visibility.

SCM module development

We help you extend the default functionality of Oracle, SAP, and other supply chain platforms by creating tailored software modules built on your unique requirements. Be it a custom demand forecasting algorithm or inventory optimization feature, we make sure new add-ons keep the chain running more optimally and side with your business goals.

Employee training and knowledge transfer

Our in-house expertise can become a part of your continuous learning culture in supply chain management. We provide training services to supply chain staff on using new systems and offer knowledge transfer to ensure internal teams can effectively manage and troubleshoot supply chain software after implementation.

Data analytics and reporting

Incomplete, one-sided data is an ongoing drag on efficiency and profitability. Our data science teams enable you to dig deep with data analytics solutions that deliver a macro view into supply chain operations, identifying trends, bottlenecks, and risks. With our tailored reports and advanced dashboards, you can make informed decisions and zoom into critical supply chain performance metrics.

Cloud migration and infrastructure setup

Our cloud engineers help you move existing supply chain applications, data, and processes from on-premises systems to a cloud-based environment. We also assist in infrastructure setup, configuring the cloud environment in line with your security requirements, data sensitivity, and cost considerations.

DevOps and automation

Simplify the supply chain management process by introducing the best DevOps practices into your business operations. From automation tools to CI/CD pipelines to containerization, our DevOps engineers help improve the scalability and reliability of your SCM solution, promoting faster time-to-market, quality improvements, and productivity boosts.

Cybersecurity and compliance monitoring

Backed by our ISO 27001:2022 certification, we help you implement an effective supply chain risk monitoring system that reveals, remediates, and monitors supply chain vulnerabilities. Our team also develops compliance reporting and monitoring tools to make sure your system operates in line with industry-specific regulations and standards.

Shape your supply chain, your way

Too rigid, too clumsy, too ‘one-size’ SCM solutions might make you question the efficiency of out-of-the-box software. And rightfully so — if they fail to meet your specific needs. Our development company helps you build a flexible, modular supply chain as unique as your business is. Pick and choose the pieces that match your industry, company size, and market dynamics — no wasted effort, just a streamlined, well-honed system tailored to you.

Jeanine Shepstone
Senior Technical Writer

Instinctools is good at understanding the technical issues – once an issue is outlined, they do not need repeated explanation. They also do not simply accept a proposed solution, but they think about it and propose a better solution. I was really impressed by the custom interface they built for us – we outlined the requirements, and they implemented them in a user-friendly way that makes the interface a pleasure to use.

Adapt your supply chain planning in the face of constant changes

Supply chain risks emerge mainly due to volatility and unforeseen events. Our smart, advanced supply chain planning solutions will keep your products flowing even in an uncertain and difficult operating environment.

Demand forecasting

Ensure product availability while reducing excess inventory with our custom predictive analytics tools. Our demand planning solutions combine demand sensing, statistical modeling, and machine learning algorithms to generate accurate predictions based on a medley of historical and real-time data, seasonal trends, and external factors.

Supply planning

Align supply with prioritized demand, considering factors like production capacity and resource allocation. With scenario planning, supply chain modeling, and demand sensing, our supply planning solutions use a wide variety of data to enable companies to respond quickly to changes in demand and supply, given your current constraints.

Production planning and scheduling

Keep production processes running smoothly by generating airtight production schedules, getting a firm grip on the shop floor, and making sure every asset operates to its full potential. We can also interface your advanced planning and scheduling software with your ERP and MES systems for end-to-end integration.

Sales and operations planning (S&OP)

Alignment across capacity, production, and inventory planning cannot be achieved with stale signals coming from siloed departments. We develop S&OP solutions that link demand data with supply figures, inventory, and procurement to make sure that the right products are at hand at the right time, meeting and exceeding customer expectations.

Put plans into actions by efficiently executing your supply chain

Service, inventory, logistics, and procurement — get these supply chain pillars right and you can drive value across the entire business ecosystem. The real-time visibility driven by our custom supply chain solutions helps you nail all four and guarantee that every detail is accounted for — resulting in better service, lower costs, smaller inventories, and fewer lost sales.

Procurement

With spreadsheets and such, procurement lapse into a needlessly complex task. Our custom solutions automate your procurement processes through and through, making order management, inventory control, and supplier oversight less of a hassle for your team.

Supplier management

We develop secure platforms for better collaboration with suppliers, integrating real-time data analytics for automated supplier performance and risk monitoring. Our developers also incorporate alert systems for early warning signals of potential disruptions and embed compliance monitoring to improve due diligence for third-party onboarding.

Manufacturing and shop floor management

Develop MES systems as dynamic as your production process with our custom solutions that allow for real-time shop floor monitoring and control, in-line quality checks, and automated data capture through IoT technologies and computer vision. We also augment your software with pre-built reports and customizable dashboards for deeper analysis.

Order management and pricing

Every order, any channel, all rolled into one dashboard — that’s how our custom order management systems function. Our supply chain application development company delivers order management software that syncs your inventory, marketplaces, shipping, and future stock, allowing you to track schedules from order placement to final delivery.

Warehouse management

Our high-performance warehouse management systems aim for multi-echelon inventory optimization, balancing inventory costs and stockouts at multiple levels. Complete with automated replenishment, RFID/barcode integration, and serial number tracking, they automate the complexity out of your warehouse management.

Order fulfillment

Our software helps 3PLs, fulfillment houses, and ecommerce retailers unify the processing of multichannel, multi-format orders, no matter the fulfillment method. Based on your business needs and requirements, we can kit out your order fulfillment system with features like return management, payment tracking, automated routing to a suitable warehouse, and more.
