HILOS

HILOS is an end-to-end innovation platform for brands to launch digitally crafted footwear without inventory or end-of-life waste. Put simply, it is about planning and tracking goods from supplier to customer.

It makes the most sense for manufacturers and distributors. They also list 3D Printing, CleanTech, Fashion and Supply Chain Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

HILOS is based in Portland, Oregon and around since 2019. Their site is hilos.co.

Our checklist for this category: supplier portals, forecasting, and ERP integration. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with HILOS, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
