Case Study: C.E. Machine achieves streamlined purchase order management and improved supplier communication with SourceDay

C.E. Machine Leverages SourceDay to Improve Efficiency of Purchase Order Management and Communication with Suppliers

C.E. Machine, a Kansas-based engineering, machining and assembly provider with more than 40 years in aerospace and defense supply, faced a manual, time-consuming purchase order process—chasing past-due orders across emails and spreadsheets and transcribing updates into their ERP, Infor CloudSuite Industrial - Syteline. To modernize PO management they turned to SourceDay’s cloud-based purchase order management application.

SourceDay integrated with C.E. Machine’s ERP to provide real-time visibility into every PO and line item, automated notifications, acknowledgements and reminders, and a supplier portal (including the Radar feature for upcoming due items). As a result SourceDay helped C.E. Machine recapture time, reduce risks from unacknowledged and late POs, establish an audit trail of transactions, and improve buyer–supplier communication while making supplier onboarding simpler.
