Your supply chain lives in portals. Browserless automates it.
Supply chains run on web-based systems that aren't built to be automated. Browserless runs real browsers in the cloud, so your code or AI agents can log in and work through them like a human operator.

Browserless works like a human operator, navigating vendor portals, pulling data from carrier dashboards, and interacting with legacy platforms your stack can't interact with.
- 01
Monitor supplier pricing
Pull real-time pricing data from supplier portals automatically, so your procurement team isn't manually checking rates across dozens of vendors.
- 02
Track shipments across carriers
Aggregate tracking status and delivery updates from multiple carrier dashboards into a single feed, without waiting for API access that may never come.
- 03
Sync inventory across platforms
Read and write inventory levels across supplier and warehouse portals to keep stock data accurate without manual data entry or error-prone spreadsheet updates.
- 04
Automate order processing
Submit purchase orders, confirm receipts, and update order statuses across vendor portals the same way a human operator would – but without the manual labor.
- 05
Collect compliance documentation
Download supplier certifications, health and safety sign-offs, and regulatory documents from supplier portals automatically, so your records stay current and your team only reviews what's changed.
- 06
Extract data from legacy systems
Turn data locked inside portals and dashboards into structured JSON that your existing systems can actually use, without rebuilding legacy integrations from scratch.
Logistics teams already automate their portals with Browserless
How to get started with Browserless
You don't need to overhaul your existing supply chain processes to start automating. Browserless connects to the systems you already use and fills the gaps your current stack leaves open.
- 01
Sign up for free
Create a free Browserless account with no credit card required. The Free plan includes 1,000 units a month and 2 concurrent browsers, which is enough to prototype a workflow against a real portal.
- 02
Connect to your existing stack
Build with BAP (Browser Automation Protocol), or point your existing Puppeteer or Playwright code at any supplier portal, carrier dashboard, or legacy system you want to automate.
- 03
Automate your first workflow
Run your first automated task – a pricing check, a shipment status pull, or an inventory sync, for example – and verify it returns the structured data your team needs.
- 04
Scale to your full supply chain
Add concurrency, switch protected portals to a stealth route with CAPTCHA solving, and connect your AI agents through the MCP server to extend automation across your supply chain operations.
Here's a supplier price check in a few lines of Puppeteer, running on a Browserless browser instead of your own machine. The highlighted lines are the only change from a local Puppeteer script:
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-core';
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: 'wss://production-sfo.browserless.io?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN',
});
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://books.toscrape.com/', { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded' });
const prices = await page.$$eval('article.product_pod', (items) =>
items.map((item) => ({
product: item.querySelector('h3 a').getAttribute('title'),
price: item.querySelector('.price_color').textContent,
}))
);
console.log(prices.slice(0, 3));
await browser.close();[
{ product: 'A Light in the Attic', price: '£51.77' },
{ product: 'Tipping the Velvet', price: '£53.74' },
{ product: 'Soumission', price: '£50.10' }
]What is Browserless in supply chain management?
Browserless is browser infrastructure: a hosted, scalable headless browser platform that lets your code – or your AI agents – interact with any website or web-based portal as a real browser would.
browserless_agent tool drives a real browser, and with a kept-alive session, agents can log into portals, read dashboards and complete multi-step workflows.Browser automation vs. APIs, EDI and RPA
Most supply chain teams use more than one type of automation. Vendor APIs and electronic data interchange (EDI) work well when a partner supports them, robotic process automation (RPA) handles desktop tasks, and browser automation covers the web portals that offer neither. Here's where each approach fits:
Vendor APIs and EDI
- Best for
- High-volume, structured data exchange
- Limitation
- Only works when the partner offers it
RPA
- Best for
- Repetitive tasks across desktop and web apps
- Limitation
- Scaling usually means licensing and provisioning more robots
Browser automation with Browserless
- Best for
- Web portals and dashboards with no API
- Limitation
- Scripts need updating when a portal's layout changes
Why supply chain teams automate with Browserless
You don't need another platform that only works when your vendors have modern APIs. Browserless covers the parts of your stack that APIs don't reach, like the supplier portals and carrier dashboards your partners never built integrations for.
How Browserless fits into your existing stack
Browserless works with the automation tools your engineering team uses, and interacts with the web-based platforms your supply chain runs on – no rebuilding required.

Which Browserless option fits your workflow?
Browserless offers a few ways to run the same managed browsers. The one you choose depends on whether you're starting from scratch, reusing existing scripts, or handing tasks to AI agents:
| If you need to… | Use… |
|---|---|
| Pull a single page or save it as a PDF | Use…REST APIs |
| Build new workflows for portals with bot protection or CAPTCHAs | Use…BAP |
| Keep your existing Puppeteer or Playwright scripts | Use…Browsers as a Service |
| Let AI agents work through portals | Use…Browserless MCP server |
