Case Study: BraunAbility achieves 35% increase in on-time delivery and 22% reduction in on-hand inventory with SourceDay

How the automotive mobility leader unified its procurement systems and achieved a 35% increase in on-time delivery (OTD), reduced on-hand inventory by 22%, and made life easier for buyers and suppliers

BraunAbility, the global leader in mobility transportation solutions, was struggling with chaotic procurement: an eight-person team managing nearly 15,000 SKUs across homegrown dashboards, ERP, spreadsheets and sticky notes, which led to missed PO changes, stock outs, production interruptions and low morale. Seeking a light-touch, fast-to-adopt solution, BraunAbility turned to SourceDay to unify communications between buyers and suppliers.

SourceDay’s platform provided a single source of truth and easy-to-use supplier workflows that both buyers and suppliers adopted quickly, enabling BraunAbility to scale without added headcount. After implementing SourceDay, BraunAbility saw a 35% increase in on-time delivery, reduced on-hand inventory by 22% (inventory days on hand fell by over 20%) even as purchased components grew 20%, and eliminated some offsite storage needs.
