Digit Supply Chain

End-to-end supply chain visibility including demand planning, supply planning, logistics, supplier management, and supply chain analytics.

Digit provides solid Supply Chain functionality that covers most mid-market requirements. While not a core differentiator, the module handles standard supply chain workflows effectively.

Key Capabilities

Demand planning and forecasting

Statistical and ML-driven forecast models using historical sales, seasonality, trends, and causal factors. Produces consensus demand plans that feed MRP, procurement, and inventory replenishment automatically.

Supply planning and replenishment

Calculates optimal replenishment quantities and timing across locations using reorder points, min/max, and demand-driven MRP. Balances service levels against carrying costs to minimise stockouts and overstock.

Supplier relationship management

Centralised supplier scorecards tracking delivery performance, quality metrics, pricing compliance, and risk indicators. Enables data-driven sourcing decisions and proactive supplier development programmes.

Logistics and transportation management

Freight rate management, carrier selection, shipment consolidation, route optimisation, and tracking integration. Reduces shipping costs by optimising load planning and automating carrier communication via EDI or API.

Supply chain visibility and tracking

End-to-end visibility from purchase order through production to customer delivery, with real-time status dashboards and exception alerts. Enables proactive issue resolution before delays impact downstream operations.

Multi-site and multi-warehouse planning

Coordinates inventory and distribution across multiple facilities with inter-site transfer planning, allocation rules, and network optimisation. Ensures the right stock is in the right location to minimise fulfilment costs.

Supply chain analytics and dashboards

KPI dashboards covering fill rates, lead times, inventory turns, and supplier performance with drill-down capability. Supports strategic decisions on network design, safety stock policies, and sourcing strategy.

EDI and supplier portal integration

Electronic Data Interchange for automated PO, ASN, and invoice exchange with trading partners. Supplier portals provide self-service access to forecasts, orders, and payment status, reducing email-based coordination.

Digit — Pros & Cons

Advantages

+Modern, intuitive UI with fast onboarding — most teams go live in weeks, not months
+Deep MRP, inventory, and shop-floor traceability (lot, serial, and batch) in one system
+Open GraphQL API plus pre-built connectors to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Shopify, and Amazon
+Predictable pricing from $400/mo — positioned below tier-1 cloud ERPs such as NetSuite

Considerations

-No native general ledger or AP/AR — financials run through an accounting integration
-Limited HR, payroll, and project-accounting depth
-Younger vendor with a smaller partner and implementer ecosystem than incumbents
-Best fit for SMB–mid-market operations; complex multi-entity finance needs may outgrow it

Supply Chain FAQ

What does an ERP supply chain module do?

An ERP supply chain module orchestrates the flow of goods from supplier to customer — planning demand, managing suppliers, coordinating logistics, and providing visibility across the entire supply chain.

How does supply chain management differ from inventory management in ERP?

Inventory management tracks stock levels and locations. Supply chain management is broader — it includes demand planning, supplier management, logistics, and end-to-end coordination that determines what inventory to carry and where.

Do ERPs replace dedicated supply chain planning tools?

For most mid-market companies, yes. Enterprise-scale operations with complex global supply chains may still benefit from dedicated tools like Kinaxis, o9 Solutions, or Blue Yonder alongside their ERP.

What ERP has the best supply chain management?

SAP S/4HANA, Oracle SCM Cloud, and Infor M3 are leaders in supply chain. For mid-market, Epicor Kinetic and Acumatica offer strong supply chain capabilities relative to their price point.

How does ERP improve supply chain visibility?

ERP connects procurement, production, inventory, and logistics into a single platform, eliminating information silos and providing real-time visibility into stock levels, order status, and supplier performance.
