Unpredictable and unstable supply chains derail operations across the organization, directly impacting cost and revenue.
- Up to 70% of inbound supply chain issues occur prior to shipment.
- Risks pop up at critical points in the PO lifecycle. 52% of PO lines require manual intervention with an average of 2.5 changes per line.
- Risks are not easy to see, predict, or resolve, pulling focus to tactical instead of strategic tasks, leaving room for manual error.
SourceDay gathers risks from across your entire PO lifecycle into a single management view. This view allows users to review, prioritize and resolve issues impacting on time delivery by the agreed upon terms. SourceDay Intelligence (SDI) uncovers and highlights predictive risks that can only be detected by our patent-pending ML platform.

| Lead time risk |
SourceDay Intelligence detected a risk to on time delivery caused by inaccurate lead times. When SourceDay Intelligence compares new POs to historical information for that item & supplier, we can detect POs that are 3x more likely to be delayed, 14 days earlier than traditional methods and recommends and improved lead time to prevent future delays. |
