Case Study: JBT AeroTech achieves 89% on-time delivery and improved cash flow with SourceDay

JBT AeroTech - Customer Case Study

JBT AeroTech, a maker of airport gate and ground equipment, faced chronic supplier communication breakdowns that left critical parts missing at production start about 31% of the time and resulted in just 69% on-time delivery to customers. To solve this, JBT turned to SourceDay’s supply chain performance software to better manage PO changes, automate supplier communications, and create visibility into supplier performance.

By replacing complex spreadsheets with SourceDay’s automated PO tracking and supplier scorecards, JBT saw measurable gains: suppliers began acknowledging 86% of POs within 72 hours, supplier on-time deliveries rose to 89% (a 31% improvement), missing parts at production start fell to 8% (roughly a 76% reduction), and customer OTD climbed to 89%. SourceDay also helped JBT reduce buffer inventory substantially (about $800K less inventory for one supplier), improving cash flow and operational reliability.
