Ligentix vs. Descartes MacroPoint

Ligentix is our 4th generation supply chain management platform. It is developed in house at our development centre at Nexus, Leeds in the UK. It has been built on supply chain best practice through collaboration with hundreds of customers. The platform’s foundation is its Purchase Order integration, and exception management functionality. Running through Ligentix at its core is the critical path milestone management from PO generation through to destination delivery. This information allows us to provide a very high level of visibility down to item level right across the supply chain.
