SourceDay Intelligence surfaces potential risks related to pricing and item arrivals, helping buyers proactively manage their supply chain. There are three main types of risks identified:
Price risks
Triggered when SourceDay Intelligence detects a price change for a specific item. Buyers can view additional details and update the master price within your ERP.
Master price issues – When purchase order (PO) prices frequently differ from the expected or master price, signaling possible misalignment
Price increase risk – When an item’s current price is at least 10% higher than it was one year ago
Late or early risks
| Triggered when SourceDay detects that items are consistently arriving early or later than the promised delivery date. Buyers can view additional details and update the item lead time within the ERP. |
Lead time risks
Lead time risk is a predictive risk powered by SourceDay Intelligence. Using our patent-pending ML platform, SourceDay Intelligence uncovers and highlights POs at risk of delay due to an unrealistic lead time before the delay occurs. Lead time risk gives buyers time to resolve or mitigate the risk before it impacts their operations.
