What I'm aware of in the industry is that the large ones use SAP. Dunno if SAP provides that from scratch or if it's custom-built though, but I'd take a guess that it comes with their standard inventory/materials tracking/invoice handling package.

Edit: looked it up, yep, part of SAP HANA LO-BM [1].

Every decent ERP has it, even Microsoft ones, because anyone trading in any kind of food (batch tracking) or anything tech (serial nos) need it.


I didn't even know Microsoft had an ERP solution. Wtf


Highly relevant: TIL that Microsoft uses SAP software, despite competing with SAP with its own ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics) <https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1jo08m3/til_...>


Why wouldn't they? They bought a number of established and emerging solutions and integrated them into their business licensing and sales, upgrading them as their platforms evolved. Some date back 40 years, starting as a standalone DOS program, now a SaaS.
