Nine sectors · Three company stages · Offices in the Dallas area, the United Kingdom and Kochi, India

01
Manufacturing

Manufacturing software development

Software that connects the shop floor to the office: production tracking, quality records and planning tools that replace spreadsheets, whiteboards and paper travelers.

What we see

Production status lives in spreadsheets and whiteboards, so planners work from yesterday's numbers.

Quality and traceability records sit on paper, which makes audits and recalls slow.

The ERP holds orders and inventory, but nothing connects it to what is happening on the line.

What we build

  • Work order and production tracking apps for supervisors and operators, including tablets on the floor
  • Quality management: inspection checklists, nonconformance and corrective action workflows
  • Lot and serial traceability from raw material to shipped product
  • Capacity and planning dashboards fed by ERP and machine data
  • Dealer and customer portals for orders, documents and warranty claims

Where AI helps

  • Demand forecasting for materials and finished goods
  • Visual inspection support for defect detection
  • Maintenance alerts from machine data

Systems we connect

  • NetSuite
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365
  • SAP Business One
  • Odoo
  • OPC UA and MQTT machine data
  • Power BI

Standards we design for

  • ISA-95 integration model
  • ISO 9001 quality records
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for regulated manufacturers
02
Ecommerce and retail

Ecommerce software development

Custom features, integrations and catalog tools for online stores, B2B sellers and retailers, built on the commerce platform you already run or on a custom stack when the platform is the constraint.

What we see

Product data is maintained in several places, so listings, prices and stock drift out of sync.

Orders are keyed again between the store, the warehouse and accounting.

Large catalogs are hard to keep accurate in marketplaces and shopping feeds.

What we build

  • B2B ordering, quotes, customer pricing and approvals on Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce or Adobe Commerce
  • Product information management and bulk catalog tools for large catalogs
  • Marketplace and shopping feed integration, including Google Merchant Center and Amazon
  • Order, inventory and accounting integration between the store, the ERP and QuickBooks or Xero
  • Point of sale integration, customer data and pricing tools for retail

Where AI helps

  • Product descriptions and attributes drafted by AI and approved by your team
  • On site search and product recommendations
  • Demand forecasting for purchasing

Systems we connect

  • Shopify
  • BigCommerce
  • WooCommerce
  • Adobe Commerce
  • Google Merchant Center
  • Amazon Seller Central
  • Stripe
  • QuickBooks
  • Xero

Standards we design for

  • PCI DSS v4.0.1 for payment data
  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
  • CCPA and GDPR privacy
  • Schema.org product data
03
Wholesale, distribution and logistics

Software for logistics and distribution companies

Ordering, warehouse, EDI and carrier integrations that move orders from customer to dock without rekeying, and show every shipment’s status in one place.

What we see

Customer orders arrive by email, PDF and phone, and are keyed by hand.

Shipment status means calling carriers or logging in to several portals.

Large trading partners require EDI, and every new partner is a project.

What we build

  • B2B ordering portals and supplier portals
  • Order management linking customer orders, purchasing, warehouse and invoicing
  • EDI integration: 850 purchase orders, 855 acknowledgments, 856 advance ship notices and 810 invoices
  • Carrier integrations for rates, labels and tracking across parcel and LTL carriers
  • Warehouse tools for receiving, putaway, picking, packing and cycle counts with barcode scanning

Where AI helps

  • Order details extracted from emails and PDFs into the order system
  • Delivery time predictions from carrier history
  • Reorder point and demand forecasting

Systems we connect

  • ANSI X12 EDI
  • UPS, FedEx and USPS APIs
  • ShipStation
  • NetSuite
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365
  • Barcode scanners and mobile devices

Standards we design for

  • ANSI X12 transaction sets
  • GS1 barcodes and SSCC labels
  • Trading partner EDI guides
04
Healthcare and medical supply

Software for healthcare and medical supply companies

Product data, ordering and integration platforms for medical suppliers and distributors, where catalogs are large, units of measure vary and product data has to stay accurate.

What we see

Catalogs can run to hundreds of thousands of items, with manufacturer, packaging and unit of measure variations.

Clinics and facilities expect contract pricing, approvals and reorder lists.

Regulated product data, such as device identifiers, must stay consistent across every system.

What we build

  • Product data platforms that normalize manufacturer data, units of measure and images
  • B2B ordering with contract pricing, approval steps and reorder lists for facilities
  • Feed and marketplace management for large medical catalogs
  • Integrations with ERP, manufacturers, distributors and shipping carriers
  • Reporting on margin, fill rate and backorders

Where AI helps

  • Attribute extraction and product matching across manufacturer files
  • Catalog quality checks that flag missing or conflicting data

Systems we connect

  • BigCommerce
  • Shopify
  • ERP and accounting systems
  • Manufacturer and distributor data files
  • Google Merchant Center

Standards we design for

  • FDA Unique Device Identification (UDI)
  • GS1 identifiers
  • HIPAA when protected health information is handled
  • DSCSA when prescription drugs are distributed

In every industry

What stays the same

We start with the workflow

We map the process with the people who run it before we design a screen, so the software fits how the work is done.

Integration before new software

Much of the value comes from connecting systems you already own. We check that before recommending anything new.

Compliance designed in

We build to the standards your industry applies and work with your compliance and legal advisers. We do not give legal advice or certify compliance.

You own what we build

Source code, documentation and intellectual property created for a client transfer to that client on completion and payment.

FAQ

Questions about industry software

What industries does Inventh build software for?

Inventh builds software for manufacturing, ecommerce, retail, wholesale and distribution, logistics and supply chain, healthcare and medical supply, financial services and accounting, professional services, and real estate and property management. Clients range from startups to software companies and enterprises.

What are industry software solutions?

Industry software solutions are applications designed around one sector's workflows, data and rules, such as lot traceability in manufacturing or EDI in distribution. They can be packaged products, extensions of an existing platform, or custom software, and most businesses use a combination.

Should we buy industry software or build custom software?

Buy when the process is standard and a product already fits it well. Build when the process is what sets your business apart, or when connecting several products costs more than it saves. Our build or buy white paper sets out the full framework.

Do you only work with companies in these industries?

No. These are the sectors where we work most often. Ordering, approvals, portals, reporting and system integration work in similar ways across most industries, so we regularly work outside this list.

How do you handle regulations such as HIPAA or PCI DSS?

We design for the requirements from the start, with access control, encryption, audit logs and data minimization, and we work with your compliance and legal advisers. We do not give legal advice or certify compliance.

Can you integrate with our ERP, ecommerce platform or carriers?

In most cases, yes. We connect systems through their APIs, EDI or scheduled file exchange, and we confirm what access each system allows during discovery, before any build is priced.

Where is Inventh based?

Inventh has offices in the Dallas area, the United Kingdom and Kochi, India, and delivers projects remotely for clients in other locations.

Does Inventh provide accounting or tax services?

Accounting, bookkeeping and tax services are provided by our subsidiary, Big Accountants. Inventh builds software, including software for accounting and financial services firms.
