Trackstar’s universal API lets software companies integrate with any warehouse management system in hours, not months.**\n\nHi everyone 👋, we’re [Daniel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-langer-84846548/) and [Jeremy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-schneck-a67b5479/) from Trackstar! We are on a mission to digitize the global supply chain – one API at a time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=70084\u0026key=user_uploads/1155870/53fd0b5a-6777-4d6c-94e5-a8057c816dad)\n\n### 🩺**The Problem**\n\nInnovation in the supply chain industry is stifled by the lack of accessible data. For example, there are hundreds of warehouse management systems, most of which are legacy tools with poorly documented APIs or no APIs at all.\n\nCompanies that work on inventory planning, supply chain visibility, product returns, financing, warehouse operations, and more, are forced to build, maintain, and normalize data across one-off supply chain integrations. \n\nThese companies…\n\n* **Drain time and resources** trying to integrate with enough of the WMS market;\n* **Miss out on winning new business** by not supporting integrations that their customers need;\n* **Or never start** because the integration hurdle prevents them from even entering the market.\n\n### 💡**Our Solution**\n\nA universal API for the global supply chain. Our API for warehouse management systems lets software companies build once against a single API and instantly read and write data from any WMS. \n\nWMS is just the beginning. Digitizing these systems will enable a wave of existing and new SaaS companies to build a more efficient and sustainable supply chain.\n\n### **📜How It Works**\n\nWith our universal API, companies can offer WMS integrations without the dev work, and focus their time and resources on their core product.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=70084\u0026key=user_uploads/1155870/7e55987e-cc1c-44f7-a7be-d2ab21e3d1da)\n\n### ⚡**Asks**\n\nIf you know any companies that currently integrate with or are looking to integrate with WMS, please send intros to [founders@trackstarhq.com](mailto:founders@trackstarhq.com).\n\nWant to be an early customer?
