130+ Supply Chain Software Vendors
Fresh recruits often ask me if Lokad has competitors. My answer? Absolutely—TONS of them! Some are direct rivals, aiming to automate supply chain decision-making just like we do. Others are more like loose peers.

Below, you’ll find my big list of 130+ vendors in the realms of supply chain planning and supply chain optimization. This roundup focuses on software companies (not consulting or pure IT firms) dedicated to supply chain. I am including “systems of reports” and “systems of intelligence,” but skipping generic AI players and typical ERP, WMS, or TMS providers—unless they offer a standalone analytical solution separate from their system of record.
Enjoy!

It aggregates data from disparate ERP and production systems into pre‑configured dashboards and scorecards that display real‑time insights into inventory levels, demand planning, supplier performance, and working capital management. The platform offers flexibility through hosted cloud deployment or seamless integration with existing corporate BI tools, thereby automating data collection and reporting processes in manufacturing supply chains. |
thouSense | thouSense is an AI-powered SaaS platform that enables small and medium businesses to tackle demand forecasting and supply chain planning by processing historical sales data (uploaded via CSV) alongside configurable hierarchical inputs and external indicators such as weather and economic data; the system employs machine learning algorithms to dynamically generate short- and long-term forecasts, supports scheduled forecast runs with automated email alerts and customizable report exports within an intuitive cloud-based interface, and while it emphasizes advanced AI capabilities, detailed technical documentation on its underlying models and validation processes remains limited. |
ThroughPut Inc. | ThroughPut Inc. is a provider of a SaaS-based supply chain decision intelligence platform that integrates operational data from ERP, MES, PLC, and other systems through pre-built connectors into a centralized analytics engine. The platform employs established continuous improvement practices—including Lean methodologies and the Theory of Constraints—combined with time-series forecasting and heuristic algorithms to identify bottlenecks, forecast demand, and optimize capacity and logistics planning. It supports flexible deployment options (cloud, on-premise, or hybrid) to integrate seamlessly with existing IT infrastructures while delivering actionable insights designed to improve operational efficiency and resource allocation. |
TigerGraph | TigerGraph is a privately held software company that delivers a real-time graph analytics platform built on a proprietary native parallel graph architecture. The system processes massive, connected datasets using a dual-engine approach—with a custom Graph Storage Engine and Graph Processing Engine developed in C++—that leverages data locality and built-in parallelism for rapid, multi-hop queries. It utilizes a Turing-complete, SQL-like language (GSQL) to facilitate advanced analytics, in-database machine learning, and graph data science tasks across applications such as fraud detection, cybersecurity, and supply chain analysis. The platform is available both as a self-managed deployment and in cloud-native configurations, with design choices emphasizing efficient data compression and scalability that warrant independent validation. |
ToolsGroup | ToolsGroup develops integrated software solutions for supply chain planning and demand analytics by employing probabilistic forecasting, multi-echelon inventory optimization, and machine learning techniques to manage demand variability and coordinate replenishment. Its platform is built on a modular, cloud-native architecture that interfaces seamlessly with ERP and legacy systems, and it has expanded its functionality through strategic acquisitions that introduced dynamic pricing and real-time inventory reallocation capabilities. The system combines advanced statistical models with rule-based automation and phased deployment strategies to support data‐driven decision making across complex supply chain networks while reducing manual planning efforts and maintaining consistent operational outcomes. |
Transmetrics | Transmetrics develops a cloud-based SaaS platform that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to support logistics and transport operations through data-driven decision support. The solution integrates with existing enterprise systems such as TMS and ERP by organizing its functionality into modules for forecasting, analytics, and optimization. It processes historical data together with external factors—such as weather, public holidays, and market conditions—using techniques like data cleansing, natural language processing, gradient boosting, and mixed-integer programming to generate predictive models for demand, supply, and operational adjustments. Built with a modern technology stack including Java, Python, and containerized deployments, the platform targets challenges in fleet utilization, cost efficiency, and industry-specific operations like trucking, container management, linehaul planning, and fleet maintenance, though the underlying performance claims are based on proprietary methods that benefit from independent validation. |
Turvo | Turvo provides a cloud‑based transportation management platform that consolidates order management, real‑time shipment tracking, appointment scheduling, and inventory oversight into a single SaaS solution. Founded in 2014 and acquired by Lineage Logistics in 2022, the platform uses a modern cloud‑centric architecture with RESTful APIs and mobile applications to facilitate real‑time collaboration among shippers, brokers, carriers, and third‑party logistics providers while replacing manual processes with integrated, scalable digital workflows. |
UCBOS | UCBOS is an enterprise software provider based in Atlanta, USA that offers a zero‐code transformation platform built on a metadata‐driven, schema‐free architecture; the platform integrates supply chain management, procurement, ERP functions, and AI/ML capabilities through configurable modules that enable rapid application composition, real‐time data orchestration, and semantic connectivity among legacy systems, IoT devices, and cloud applications while supporting both fully managed and self‐managed deployment models in public cloud environments. |
UnitySCM | UnitySCM is a cloud-delivered supply chain management provider that consolidates data from enterprise systems like ERP, WMS, and TMS along with spreadsheets, emails, and other unstructured sources into a unified digital view; it normalizes and enriches this data in real time using rules-based processing supplemented by machine learning techniques for anomaly detection and workflow automation—including dispute resolution for shipment fees—and integrates with legacy systems via a modular, configurable architecture built on an AWS-centric technology stack. |
Vekia | Vekia is a French software vendor that develops a SaaS-based supply chain management solution using probabilistic artificial intelligence and machine learning to forecast demand through multiple simulated scenarios, generate automated order proposals, and provide real-time inventory and logistics monitoring; it integrates with ERP, WMS, and CRM systems using cloud infrastructure such as Microsoft Azure and a microservices architecture to support efficient stock optimization and shortage management. |
Waymetry | Waymetry, founded in Lithuania in 2024, develops a cloud‑based software-as-a-service platform that automates pricing and contract management for road transport and logistics companies by integrating fixed cost parameters with real‑time market data to generate tender and spot‐rate calculations, track fleet capacity, and update margins; its suite of interconnected tools relies on rule‑based automation—with nominal AI claims—designed to streamline complex pricing workflows without detailed public disclosures of its underlying technical methods. |
