Manufacturing & Supply Chain Automation

When your ERP, TMS, yard operations, freight visibility tools, and accounting platforms are disconnected, your team ends up managing spreadsheets instead of managing performance. Critical decisions get made with partial information.

At Centreville Tech, we design and build automation and custom software for manufacturers, freight forwarders, and supply chain operators who need their systems to work together. We also bring deep private LTE and 5G experience: we can advise on the communication layer as well as the software and automation layer, so you get fully end-to-end support—from connectivity and sensors through to your ERP and dashboards. We are based in Centreville, Alabama, and we partner with businesses across the Southeast and beyond to streamline operations, reduce manual risk, and create software that supports real-world production environments.

If you are ready to move from manual coordination to connected systems, we would welcome a conversation.

Custom Software for Real-World Operations

Manufacturing and supply chain environments are complex. You have machines, sensors, drivers, dispatchers, warehouse teams, customers, and carriers all generating data. The question is whether that data is useful.

We build custom software that connects operational systems so you can:

• Automate order intake and fulfillment workflows
• Sync production status with customer portals
• Integrate freight visibility into your ERP
• Eliminate double entry between accounting and operations
• Surface real-time dashboards for leadership

This is not theoretical. We have built systems that manage shipments, automate milestone updates, and synchronize financial data across platforms. One example is DNA SAMMIE, a supply chain visibility and automation platform we developed for a freight forwarding operation. You can learn more about it here: DNA SAMMIE.

That experience means we understand container tracking, customs milestones, drayage coordination, exception management, and what happens when data does not line up. We build software that accounts for the edge cases, not just the happy path.

Deep Integration with Supply Chain Platforms

Many manufacturers and logistics teams already use best-in-class tools. The problem is they do not always talk to each other cleanly.

We have hands-on experience integrating and extending platforms such as:

• Project44
• Ocean Insights
• Dray Rates
• Magaya

We build secure API integrations and EDI workflows that connect these systems to your internal tools, accounting software, customer portals, and reporting environments.

If your team is exporting CSV files every day just to make systems line up, that is a sign automation is overdue.

Automation Beyond the Office

Supply chain automation does not stop at the desktop.

We have worked with CAN bus systems, industrial hardware, and embedded environments where software must operate reliably in demanding conditions. Our team has built embedded software used to scan and inspect industrial piping inside oil refineries. That required hardware integration, real-time data capture, and dependable processing in environments where failure was not an option.

We bring that same engineering discipline to manufacturing automation. Whether you need to:

• Capture machine telemetry
• Interface with PLCs or CAN-based systems
• Process sensor data
• Build a custom mobile interface for plant managers

We have the engineering depth to get into the details and solve it properly.

Mobile Apps for Field and Operations Teams

Modern manufacturing and logistics operations are mobile. Yard managers, drivers, maintenance teams, and plant supervisors need information in their hands.

We design and ship production-grade mobile apps that:

• Display real-time shipment and production status
• Capture photos and inspection reports
• Update inventory or job status on-site
• Reduce paperwork and manual re-entry

Because we have deep freight and supply chain experience, we understand what information matters in the field and how to design workflows that reduce friction instead of adding it.

Why Manufacturers and Supply Chain Leaders Choose Centreville Tech

We are not a generic app shop. We are a software design and engineering partner that understands operations.

Our founder and team have built and deployed software used in freight forwarding, logistics, and industrial environments. We know how to work alongside operations managers, plant supervisors, IT directors, and executive leadership. We ask practical questions:

• Where does the data originate?
• Who owns it?
• What happens when it is wrong?
• What decision depends on it?

We build systems that respect those realities.

Being based in Alabama shapes how we work. We value accountability, straightforward communication, and long-term relationships. If something is critical to your operation, we treat it that way. We stay engaged after launch to monitor, improve, and support what we build.

Let’s Improve How Your Systems Work Together

If you are operating a manufacturing facility, distribution center, freight forwarding company, or multi-location supply chain operation, and your systems are not aligned, we can help.

We will start by understanding your current workflows, identifying friction points, and mapping out a practical automation strategy. From there, we design and implement custom software, API integrations, embedded solutions, and mobile tools that make your operation more efficient and more predictable. Where the problem extends to connectivity—sites, yards, or facilities that need reliable wireless—we provide private LTE and 5G consulting as well, so you have one partner for the full stack: communication layer, data, and applications.

Centreville Tech partners with manufacturers and supply chain leaders who are ready to move from manual coordination to connected systems. If that is where you are headed, we would be glad to talk.
