What is Supply Chain Management Software (SCMS)?
Supply chain management software (SCMS) is used to automate and optimize the range of activities required to plan, control and execute product flows, traditionally in manufacturing or production industries. SCMS processes encompass:
Acquisition of raw materials
Production processes
Product distribution
Delivery to the final customer
Supply chain management is a complex process that involves communication and collaboration between multiple parties to source and purchase materials for manufacturing and production - including trading partners, suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors.
The goal of SCMS is to coordinate the flow of products in the most efficient and cost-effective way. However, the degree of supply chain management required varies between companies. A number of variables can influence a company’s SCMS needs:
Size of operations
Number of suppliers involved
Type of industry
Product complexity
Length of the supply chain
This leads to the SCMS product space being very fragmented. Accordingly, there is a range of products available - including large SCMS suites, ERP suites, industry-specific software, and point solutions for steps in the supply chain.
Supply Chain Software vs. ERP Software
Supply chain management software manages data concerning incoming raw materials from external suppliers. In contrast, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software is more internally focused. It manages administrative tasks by tying front office and back office operations together. This includes assisting with product planning and the physical production of finished goods.
However, supply chain capabilities are often included as a component of ERP suites.
The features provided by ERP suites are usually more generic than supply chain point solutions or industry-specific software. SCMS point solutions may focus more on individual modules such as operations planning or inventory management.

Supply Chain Management Software Comparison
When comparing supply chain management software, consider the following factors of each product:
- SCM Suite vs. point solution: There is a mix of point solutions and end-to-end SCM suites available. Point solutions can facilitate functions like fullfillment, procurement (or “source-to-pay”), and order and inventory management, and are ideal when businesses only engage with select steps in the supply chain process. The full SCM suites tend to be tailored towards enterprises, but can offer more streamlined SCM workflows when the business operates on even level of the supply chain.
- Company Size: Supply chain management products are usually scaled for enterprises, who have greater need to intensive supply chain management processes. However, these capabilities have become more accessible to smaller businesses as cloud-based software has entered the market. Reviewer demographic trends will help signal what scale a particular product is focused around.
- On-premise vs. cloud-based: There are a range of legacy products that are still on-premise. However, the market has been shifting towards cloud-based SCMS, with the lower overhead and greater flexibility that entails. Consider whether the benefits of adopting a cloud-based platform justify a shift away from more familiar or legacy products and the change management that comes with that.

Pricing Information
Supply chain management software is often sold as a module of large enterprise ERP or SCM suites. Standalone supply chain software products are cheaper, but pricing still varies greatly by overall sophistication and feature set. Most vendors offer free trial versions of their software and will provide pricing information on request.
An alternative option is open source supply chain management software. There are a number of free open source versions of SCMS. However, they are typically either broken up into modules or industry-specific solutions. For example, Odoo offers free versions of its manufacturing and inventory management software. One drawback to open source software is that it may not include as many features as the paid versions do.
