Both Supply’d ERP and CSB provide substantial food-specific functionality across products, production, traceability, quality, inventory and logistics. CSB extends particularly deep into MES, industrial hardware, machinery and factory automation, while Supply’d focuses on connecting the wider food operation through a modern cloud-native platform spanning customer ordering, intelligent planning, production, warehouse execution, quality, training, delivery and supplier collaboration.
Both platforms provide deep food-industry functionality. CSB brings extensive enterprise, MES and factory automation capabilities, while Supply’d focuses on connecting more everyday food workflows within a modern cloud platform with less reliance on specialised infrastructure.

Supply’d ERP is designed around how food operations actually work. Clear colour coding, visual signals and guided workflows help teams know what needs attention and reduce the chance of mistakes. Everyday tasks stay simple for production, warehouse and operational teams, while managers, owners and executives still have access to the deeper controls, reporting and insights they need.
Both platforms are genuinely designed around food operations. The main difference is the type of environment each is designed to serve. CSB extends further into industrial MES, machinery and factory automation, while Supply’d focuses on connecting the wider operation through a cloud-native platform that is simpler to deploy and use across office, production, warehouse and delivery teams.
Supply’d ERP connects every step, so sales demand informs purchasing, inventory informs production, picking updates orders and every result improves the next decision.
Most systems manage individual parts of the operation. Supply’d connects the entire journey, bringing sales, forecasting, purchasing, production, inventory, picking and delivery together in one platform. From the moment an order is received, every team can see what needs to happen next.
Implementation is tailored to the size and complexity of your operation. Choose structured remote onboarding or deeper planning, data support, onsite training and go-live assistance through our Discovery & Implementation Program.
