About ProcessRipple
Picture a typical week: your metal supplier's shipment slips by ten days. Right now, do you find out today — or the day your own customer calls asking where their order is? For most small and mid-sized manufacturers, a delay travels through email threads and phone calls long before it shows up in any system, and by the time it's visible, it's already a problem.
ProcessRipple models your business the way it actually works: suppliers (A) ship demands — inbound purchase orders — into your company. You (B) receive them, process them, and ship supplies — outbound sales orders — to your customers (C). Every purchase order line and every sales order line is a node in a dependency graph, and ProcessRipple runs the Critical Path Method across that graph continuously. The moment one date changes, every date that depends on it is recalculated automatically, and the people who need to know are told immediately — instead of finding out the hard way.
Critical path engine
A CPM forward and backward pass runs across every purchase order and sales order line item, computing the true critical path through your business — not just the dates on the PO, but the dates those dates depend on.
Automatic notifications
When an upstream ETA moves, the impact is recalculated and everyone downstream — your own team and your customers — is notified with the new date before they have to ask.
A full audit trail
Every ETA change is recorded with what changed, when, and why, so you can always answer "why did this date move?" without digging through email.
Built for SMB manufacturers
Start solo by logging your own purchase and sales orders — no network required. Invite suppliers and customers onto the platform later as the value of shared visibility becomes obvious.
Real inventory costing
FIFO cost layers across every location, with true as-of-date valuation history — not just a live snapshot, but what your inventory was worth on any past date.
Reports you can hand off
Sales and margin, purchasing spend, inventory aging, supply risk, and more — every report exports to Excel or PDF, ready to share, not just raw data.
Multi-currency, done right
Real daily exchange rates, locked in at order entry so a later rate move never silently changes what an order already cost you.
Connects to your books
Live QuickBooks Online sync keeps your accounting current automatically — no manual re-entry of every receipt and shipment.
Kitting and assemblies
Build a finished good from multiple components with one confirmation — stock for the parts comes down, stock for the finished good goes up, automatically.
