Both Supply’d ERP and JustFood are designed specifically around food operations. JustFood combines food manufacturing, quality, warehouse and financial functionality with optional forecasting, WMS, MES and EDI modules. Supply’d takes a more connected approach across the wider operation, bringing sales channels, intelligent planning, guided production, warehouse execution, quality, training, delivery and external trading relationships together in one platform.
Both platforms provide substantial food-specific functionality across products, manufacturing, inventory, quality and traceability. The differences become clearer across connected sales channels, intelligent order automation, guided execution, employee training, last-mile delivery and supplier and customer collaboration.

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 provide deep functionality for food manufacturers and distributors. JustFood combines established food manufacturing functionality with native financials and Microsoft Business Central, while Supply’d connects a broader mix of sales, operational, delivery and trading workflows within a modern food-native platform.
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.
