Custom Supply Chain Solutions
Custom supply chain management (SCM) software helps companies keep track of supplies and inventory as they enter a business for production and afterward when they’re distributed to suppliers or buyers.
Effective supply chain management software allows an enterprise to compete on a global scale with much larger organizations, helping to manage relationships with suppliers, distributors, and buyers at scale. When supply chain management software works correctly, it streamlines operations and increases the productivity of a business—all while saving time and money.
However, stock supply chain management software is not optimized for the particular intricacies of many businesses’ unique supply chain constraints and logistical demands.
If you’re looking for a custom SCM solution for your organization, we can help. Contact Watkyn to discuss the possibilities today.

Rapid Application Development Model
Watkyn builds high-quality custom Quickbase SCM software on our customer’s timetables. Whether your business needs to resolve a critical issue or launch a new product in a week, or if your company has time to spare, we work according to your time constraints.
Here are a few of our custom SCM application development options:
Express Application Development (1 Week or less)
This option is for organizations with an acute need for an application or with time-restricted development issues that need to be solved ASAP. With this option, we clear our calendars and devote all our time and resources toward developing a functional application that solves your business’s problems.
For a flat per diem, we will work with you for up to 10 hours a day. In order to complete the task efficiently and at cost, we recommend our customers take every opportunity to work closely with us for as long as it takes. In our experience, a fully functional and quality application can be built in as little as two days with the right amount of dedication and focus.
– Express application development is only available to customers who meet specific requirements and when our schedule allows it.
Rapid Application Development (2 - 8 Weeks)
If you need a custom supply chain management application fast, but not within a week, Watkyn recommends our rapid application development option. Rapid application development can be completed in as little as two weeks but can be extended to roughly eight weeks, depending on circumstances.
Here are some features of the rapid application development option:
- We start right away on the basics of the application, even if you aren’t quite sure of the specifications.
- You receive a weekly demo of the application to track its progress and test its functionality.
- Our “build as we go” methodology helps us deliver responsive, well-tested products that exceed customer expectations.
- Costs less than the express application development.
Collaborative App Development (4+ Weeks)
The collaborative app development option is best suited to organizations that plan to take over continued maintenance and development of the application after we get it launched. This option takes more time but has the added benefit of hands-on education and guided practice for your employees to make the app their own.
