Procurement software for Los Angeles importers, studios and public contractors.

Codeeo takes on procurement software development in Los Angeles for importers moving goods through San Pedro Bay, production companies that buy fast and briefly, aerospace suppliers in the South Bay and firms selling to California public agencies. We build sourcing, purchase orders, supplier portals and invoice matching around California privacy law and the way your buyers actually work, so spend is controlled without slowing down the people who need goods and services today.

As a procurement software development company Los Angeles clients reach remotely, we have no local office and do not pretend otherwise. Discovery sessions, design reviews and sprint demos happen by video call, with recordings and written notes so producers, controllers and IT leads can catch up on their own schedule.

Built for
Los Angeles importers, distributors, production companies, manufacturers and vendors bidding to city, county, port and state buyers.
Typical timeline
Set during discovery once integrations, entities and supplier volumes are known, and written into the scope before design starts.
What you own
All source code, supplier records, purchase history and cloud infrastructure, registered to your company rather than to us.

Capabilities

What a Los Angeles purchasing platform needs to handle.

Purchasing in Los Angeles County spreads over very different kinds of buying. An importer in Carson or Compton pays freight forwarders, customs brokers and drayage carriers. A production in Burbank or Culver City opens dozens of short term vendors and closes them weeks later. A machine shop near El Segundo has to pass prime contractor requirements down to its own suppliers. We pick the capabilities below to match the buying you do, rather than installing every module and asking your team to ignore half of them. Each piece shares one supplier record and one approval engine, so data entered once is trusted everywhere. Requesters on a lot, at a warehouse door or on a shop floor use a phone; buyers, controllers and suppliers use the web, and each sees only the tasks waiting for them.

Explain your project
  • Landed cost purchase orders

    Import orders carry supplier price, ocean freight, duties, broker fees and drayage as separate lines, estimated at order time and replaced by actuals as invoices arrive. Buyers see true landed cost per unit before they commit, and finance sees variances once containers clear the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Partial shipments and split containers are handled line by line, so one late carton does not hold up receiving for the rest.

    Margins calculated on real costs, not supplier price alone.

  • Production purchase orders and petty cash

    For film, television and commercial productions, departments raise purchase orders and petty cash envelopes from a phone, coded to the production budget. Rentals carry return dates, and the accountant sees committed cost against budget each day instead of at wrap. Loss and damage on rented equipment is logged against the original order, which makes vendor settlement at the end of the shoot much less painful.

    Production accountants close the books faster after wrap.

  • Supplier onboarding in English and Spanish

    Many Los Angeles suppliers, from trucking companies to small fabricators, prefer to work in Spanish. The supplier portal runs in both languages, collects W-9s, insurance and banking details, and verifies bank changes through a separate confirmation step. Suppliers can update their own contact and insurance details later, with your buyers approving the changes that matter.

    Suppliers finish onboarding without calls to your buyers.

  • Flow down clauses and supplier quality

    Aerospace and defense suppliers in the South Bay must pass contract clauses, quality requirements and cybersecurity obligations to their own vendors. Each purchase order attaches the right clause set by part type, and supplier certifications and first article records are tracked with expiry dates.

    Audit ready evidence that requirements reached every tier.

  • RAMP LA and Cal eProcure bid tracking

    For vendors selling to public buyers, a bid pipeline logs opportunities from the City's RAMP LA portal, the State's Cal eProcure and agency portals, with due dates, required forms and small business or DVBE participation commitments attached to each one. Insurance certificates, ownership details and past performance references are stored once and reused across bids, so responses come together faster.

    Every public bid tracked from notice to award.

  • Supply chain disclosure records

    California's Transparency in Supply Chains Act requires certain retailers and manufacturers to disclose their efforts on forced labor in their supply chains. We store supplier certifications, audit results and policy acknowledgments so the disclosure your legal team publishes is backed by records.

    Disclosure statements grounded in documented supplier checks.

  • Three way and two way matching

    Goods are matched across order, receipt and invoice; services and production rentals use two way matching with approver sign off. Tolerances differ by category, and exceptions route to the buyer who placed the order, with the reason highlighted so it can be settled in minutes rather than days.

    Accounts payable spends time on exceptions only.

  • Contract renewals and rate cards

    Freight rate agreements, equipment rental terms and master service agreements are stored with renewal dates and owners. Orders check against agreed rates automatically, and owners get notice before anything renews. Fuel surcharges and accessorial charges on freight invoices are compared with the agreed schedule, which is where small overcharges tend to accumulate.

    No silent renewals or paying above agreed rates.

  • Spend analytics by entity and production

    Spend by supplier, category, legal entity, production or warehouse, with diverse supplier spend reported for customers and public buyers who ask for it. Data exports to Power BI or your own warehouse, and saved views let each manager open the figures relevant to their own budget.

    Leadership sees where money goes across the whole group.

Who we build for

Four Los Angeles teams this work suits.

The right first release depends on what you buy and who you sell to. These four profiles cover most of the Los Angeles organizations that ask us for custom procurement software development Los Angeles finance teams can rely on, and each starts in a different place. What they share is a need for one supplier record, clear approval rules and purchasing data that finance can reconcile without rekeying anything.

01

Importers and distributors near the ports

Companies in the South Bay, the Gateway Cities and the Inland Empire need landed cost visibility, container level receiving and fast matching against freight and broker invoices. We start with import purchase orders and receiving, then add supplier scorecards once the data is reliable. Receiving by container and by carton gives the accurate quantities that matching depends on, and it shows which suppliers routinely ship short.

Landed cost first, everything else after.

02

Studios and production companies

Productions open vendors quickly and close them at wrap, often with a separate entity for each show. A mobile purchase order and petty cash app, tied to the production budget and closed cleanly at the end, replaces paper envelopes and spreadsheet logs. Department heads approve from set, receipts are photographed on the spot, and the accountant reconciles each envelope without chasing crew members after they have moved to another show.

Built for short lived entities and fast vendor setup.

03

Aerospace and advanced manufacturing suppliers

Shops in El Segundo, Torrance and the San Fernando Valley serve prime contractors with strict quality and cybersecurity terms. They need flow down clauses, supplier certifications and controlled access to technical data in the purchasing system. Supplier quality records, corrective actions and certificate expiries sit beside each vendor, so buyers know before ordering whether a supplier is still approved for that part.

04

Vendors to City, County and port buyers

Businesses bidding to the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, the Port of Los Angeles or state agencies juggle different portals and certification programs. We build one internal record of bids, certifications and contract obligations across all of them. That record feeds the forms each buyer asks for, so the same insurance, ownership and certification details are entered once and reused on every response.

Six stages from first call to a live system.

  1. 01Discovery by video callWe interview buyers, approvers, accounts payable and a few suppliers, and follow real purchases through your current tools to find where time and money leak, including the workarounds people have quietly built.
  2. 02Scope and approval matrixA written scope, a list of integrations and an approval matrix by amount, entity and category, signed off by your controller before design starts, so nobody discovers a disagreement halfway through the build.
  3. 03Bilingual designScreens for requesters, buyers and suppliers designed in English and Spanish where needed, tested with real users on the devices they actually carry.
  4. 04Build and integrationTwo week sprints with working demos, ERP and accounting connections tested against copies of your data, and a reconciliation report proving totals agree.
  5. 05PilotOne warehouse, entity or production goes live first. We fix the friction it surfaces before more users arrive, and we measure approval times against the old process.
  6. 06Rollout and supportRemaining sites move in planned waves, followed by a support retainer and a backlog of improvements your team prioritizes.

What Los Angeles companies ask before a procurement build.

When your buying does not fit a standard model.

Packaged suites suit organizations with conventional catalog buying. Importers who need landed cost, productions that open and close entities quickly, and suppliers with defense flow down requirements often end up working around a suite instead of in it. A custom build fits your process and can sit beside an existing ERP rather than replacing it. Where a packaged tool would genuinely serve you better, we say so during discovery. Many clients end up with a mix: the ERP keeps the ledger, and a custom purchasing layer handles requests, approvals, suppliers and matching in the way their teams already think about buying.
