    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most popular operations & supply chain software in 2026?

    Snipe-IT leads this category by trailing 12-month payment activity, followed by Nexudus and AfterShip. Its 0% share is of recorded transactions across all software in Cledara, not a percentage of companies or a within-category share.

    How is operations & supply chain software market share measured?

    Payment-activity rankings count observed purchase and renewal transactions over the trailing 12 months; spend rankings use observed software spend. Shares use all tracked software as their denominator. Neither activity rank nor activity share measures distinct customers, seats or product usage. Updated monthly; last update 26 October 2026, 20:10 UTC.

    Which operations tools have the largest activity-rank gains?

    Zonos and UK Postbox lead the measured 12-month payment-activity rank gains among the displayed ranked products. Comparisons require the current observation month and the same month one year earlier. A gain in rank positions does not establish revenue, customer or usage growth.

    How many operations tools are in this catalogue?

    The recorded catalogue contains 242 operations tools. This is a product count across the catalogue, not the number of tools used by an average company. Products without current observations may remain recorded.

    Where does this data come from?

    From anonymized, aggregated purchasing data across companies that manage their software with Cledara. It reflects what businesses actually pay for, not survey answers or web traffic.

    How much do companies spend on operations & supply chain software?

    UK companies have estimated annualized median spend of £3k for operations & supply chain software (£1k–£9k interquartile range), based on payments as of 26 October 2026. These category figures multiply the latest complete month's distribution by 12; they are not trailing-year totals. Reported in GBP; EUR and USD available on the page.
