Custom Supply Chain Order Tracking System
Augmex built a custom supply chain order tracking system for PANDORA, giving its team one live view of sourcing, approvals, quality checks, production scheduling, and final delivery.
The Challenge
PANDORA Innovation & Supply sources specialized machinery and components for the plastic product design and manufacturing industry. Every order moved through several vendors, internal approvals, quality checks, and team handoffs. Updates lived in phone calls, email threads, and spreadsheets. When a customer asked where an order stood, the team often had to chase several people before it could answer. Delayed approvals were easy to miss, and management had no reliable view of the full order pipeline.
The Solution
We started by mapping how an order actually moved through PANDORA, including the exceptions that generic procurement software usually misses. We then built one platform covering machinery sourcing, supplier negotiation, procurement approval, quality checks, production scheduling, and delivery. Every stage had an owner, a clear status, and an escalation path. Suppliers could update progress through their own portal, while management could see every active order, the next action, and the milestones at risk from one dashboard.
How the Project Was Delivered
2 Full Stack Developers, 1 Business Analyst, 1 Project Manager. Core tracking modules live in 8 weeks, full system in 5 months. 5 months (May to Sep 2025).
Technology: React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, REST APIs
The Results
- 8 weeks Core Release: The first tracking modules were live and in use within eight weeks
- 6 stages Workflow Coverage: One system covered sourcing, negotiation, approval, quality, scheduling, and delivery
- Reduced Manual Follow-ups: Live status updates replaced repeated calls, emails, and spreadsheet checks
- 5 months Full Delivery: Discovery, development, supplier access, and management reporting delivered by a four-person team
What the Client Said
Our procurement process is quite specific to our industry, and most software vendors couldn't grasp the nuance. Augmex invested the time to truly understand how we operate and translated that into software that actually works for us. The reduction in manual coordination has freed up significant time for our team.
