Build a Supply Chain Management App in Under Five Minutes with Aire
Learn How to Use Aire AI App-Builder to Build a Supply Chain Management App in Under Five Minutes
Creating a fully functional Supply Chain Management (SCM) application can be a lengthy and intricate process, often taking days or even weeks to complete. However, with the Aire AI app-builder, you can build a customized SCM app in less than five minutes. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how it’s done.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Prompt with Aire’s Prompt-Builder
The journey begins with the Aire prompt-builder. This tool is designed to help you create a precise prompt to guide Aire AI in building your app. The prompt-builder provides several input fields, allowing you to specify details such as the type of business and activity. For this demonstration, we’re keeping it simple:
- Type of Business: Manufacturing Company
- Type of Activity: Supply Chain
Although there are additional fields available to refine the app, such as specifying departments, workflows, or unique requirements, this example relies on Aire AI’s intelligence to fill in the gaps automatically.
Step 2: Selecting Modules for the App
Next, it’s time to add modules, which are the essential building blocks of the app’s data structure. Choosing a “medium scope” ensures a comprehensive yet manageable data model, suitable for an SCM app. Aire suggests several modules specifically tailored to supply chain management:
- Supplier Rating
- Product Traceability
- Logistics Route
- Order Fulfillment
- Supply Chain Risk
- Vendor Compliance
These modules provide the core features needed for managing a supply chain. Modules can be modified manually—allowing for additions or deletions as needed—but the AI-generated modules in this instance are a perfect fit.
Step 3: Defining Fields for Each Module
With modules in place, the next step involves adding fields to them. By selecting a “large scope,” Aire generates a robust set of fields for each module, complete with various field types like text, dropdowns, and date/time fields. For instance, the Supplier Rating module is populated with fields such as:
- Rating Date
- Quality Rating
- Delivery Rating
- Cost Rating
Each module receives the necessary fields to capture detailed information relevant to supply chain processes. You can always review, adjust, or manually add fields to ensure the data model meets specific requirements.
Step 4: Establishing Relationships Between Modules
Relationships form the backbone of data connectivity within the app, linking fields across modules for easy access and analysis. The AI automatically maps these relationships, which can be one-to-one or one-to-many, depending on the data requirements. For example, a relationship might link the Supplier Rating module to the Order Fulfillment module, allowing users to view supplier ratings alongside order details.
Step 5: Generating User Interface (UI) Pages
With the data model in place, it’s time to create the app’s user interface. Aire AI quickly generates key UI components:
- Home Page: Displays metrics, charts, and a record list for an at-a-glance view of the supply chain.
- Dashboard Page: Presents key supply chain statistics and analytics.
- Record List Pages: Lists all records for each module.
- Record Pages: Provides details on individual records within each module.
Aire completes this entire process in about fifteen seconds, saving hours that would typically be spent designing each page manually.
Step 6: Previewing and Deploying the App in Corteza
To see how the SCM app functions in a live environment, it’s previewed in Corteza, where users can view all pages and components, including:
- Record lists and pages for each module
- Charts and metrics to visualize data trends
- Dashboard and home pages with integrated insights and navigation
Corteza provides options for further customization, allowing users to add elements like calendars, maps, progress bars, and tabs, as well as configure workflows and connect third-party data sources.
Step 7: Final Adjustments and Deployment
Back in Aire’s Builder, any last-minute adjustments to modules, fields, or relationships can be made before deployment. With everything set, the SCM app is deployed with a single click.
In less than five minutes, the SCM app is live, featuring a complete data model, UI, and customizable features tailored for efficient supply chain management.
