Software for Greenville's Manufacturers and Suppliers
Greenville is home to Michelin North America's headquarters and Clemson's automotive research center, and the region's plants run on long chains of suppliers. We write the software that sits between the plant floor and the office, so production counts, inspection results and supplier paperwork stop living in spreadsheets and clipboards.

Often it is connective: an app that captures inspection or downtime data where the work happens, a portal that collects supplier certificates and shipping documents, and reporting that combines plant data with the ERP without a weekly copy-and-paste. Code and Trust builds these around the systems a plant already runs, rather than replacing them.
An automotive and tire region, and its supply chain
Michelin North America is headquartered in Greenville. BMW's Plant Spartanburg assembles the X3, X5, X6, X7 and XM. Below each of those anchors runs a long chain of tier suppliers, logistics providers and service firms, and every link in that chain trades documents with the one above it: certificates of conformance, inspection reports, packing lists, corrective action responses.
Large plants usually run enterprise systems for this. A smaller supplier may have an ERP, a quality spreadsheet and an inbox. That gap is where custom software earns its cost.
Where software helps on a plant floor
- →Capture at the point of work. A tablet or phone app for inspections, downtime reasons or maintenance requests, with photos attached and the record saved to the right part number. Where floor coverage is poor, the app can be scoped to queue entries and send them when a connection returns.
- →Supplier documents in one place. A portal where suppliers upload certificates and shipping documents, with each file checked for the fields your customer requires before it is accepted.
- →Reporting nobody has to assemble. Production, scrap and downtime pulled from the systems that hold them into one view, refreshed on a schedule. See our reporting workflow page.
- →A bridge to an older ERP. When the system of record has no usable API, we can work from its exports or build a narrow connector. If the ERP itself has to be replaced, our legacy ERP workflow page covers that route.
Our manufacturing page goes further into the data work that has to come before any AI on a plant floor.
Engineering startups and research spinouts
Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) is in Greenville, and its work covers connected and autonomous vehicles, electrification, advanced manufacturing and supply chains. Founders who come out of that kind of environment often have the engineering and need the product around it: a web app customers can log into, a dashboard over their data, an API partners can call. That is custom product planning and development, scoped so the first release is small enough to ship and sound enough to build on.

Common questions from Greenville businesses
Can you connect a shop-floor app to our ERP?
Often, yes. We confirm what your ERP's API or exports allow before the build is priced. Where there is no API, we read its exports or build a narrow connector for the one workflow that needs it, rather than touching the rest of the system.
Do we have to replace our quality spreadsheets all at once?
No. A practical starting point is one record type, such as incoming inspection or downtime, proved on one line and extended from there. The first scope covers that one workflow. Most large builds are fixed-price, with a monthly retainer after launch.
Will your software work for our auditors and customers?
We can build the records your quality system needs to show: who recorded what, when, against which part and lot, with changes kept rather than overwritten. Which standards apply to you is decided by your quality team and your customers, and we scope to their requirements.
Is Code and Trust in Greenville?
No. Code and Trust is based in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina, and works with clients across the country.
