Product supply management system and methods are provided. The system and methods are typically adapted to be used with the manufacture, distribution and sale of programmable electronic devices. The method generally comprises the tracking of each programmable device through each participant in the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the retailer, and the programming of each programmable device at the retailer's premise with generally individualized software. The tracking information, collected via different stations and transmitted to a central server via a communication network, is then typically used to identify each of the participants in the supply chain through which each of the programmable devices has transited. This tracking information is then typically used to monitor inventory and to redistribute commissions to each participant.
