AI-native supply chain management for DTC brands
Build your brand.We’ll manage your supply chain.
From forecasting demand to getting stock into your warehouse, Chainlink manages the everyday work across your suppliers, purchasing, payments and logistics.
Supply chain experts, powered by AI, working with the manufacturers and service providers you already use.
- Champion your manufacturer relationships.
- Stay in control of key decisions.
- Free yourself from the day-to-day.
Your supply chain shouldn’t depend on your next follow-up.
Knowing when to reorder is only the beginning. Someone still needs to confirm quantities, chase the manufacturer, check the paperwork, follow up on payments and make sure the warehouse is ready.
A missed email in a drowning inbox shouldn’t jeopardize your core competency — customer fulfillment.
Chainlink takes over that work and keeps each step connected, so you know what’s happening, what needs attention and what comes next.
One managed service, from demand to delivery.
Planning, purchasing, supplier management, payments and logistics all depend on each other. Chainlink manages them as one connected workflow, with a scope that fits your business.
Know what to order, how much and when.
Demand Forecasting & Replenishment
We use your sales, inventory, supplier lead times and upcoming plans to forecast demand and plan replenishment. As conditions change, we update purchasing priorities to help reduce stockouts and excess inventory.
Each activity feeds the next. Your replenishment plan becomes an order, the order becomes a shipment, and the outcome informs the next plan.
Start small. Hand over the everyday work.
