iXchange™(internet exchange) is PolyDyne's complementary suite of web-based, supply chain management solutions, now in its sixth generation. The purpose of the iXchange solution suite is to equip the participants of the global supply chain with the guidance, infrastructure, and tools necessary to adopt best practices both inside and outside their organizations and to collaborate strategically and most efficiently with each other for maximum, mutual benefit. It is a scalable, value-focused, and pragmatic, web-based solution suite built around a centralized knowledge management system replete with industry-applicable business analytics and hundreds of ready reports. While PolyDyne developed iXchange specifically for the electronic products sector, it could be easily repurposed to serve the needs of other industries.

iXchange helps OEMs, contract manufacturers, ODMs, and defense contractors make decisions on which suppliers and supply chain partners to choose, which materials, parts and designs to utilize, as well as which locations to buy from and build from. By working closely with their supply base, iXchange enables companies to manage the sourcing of new products and the ongoing costing of existing products.

The iXchange solutions suite consists of three individual software packages:
