Case Study: Prairie Machine achieves 41% improvement in PO acknowledgment rates and 11% increase in on-time delivery with SourceDay

Prairie Machine - Customer Case Study

Prairie Machine, a global leader in heavy-equipment design and manufacturing (under the Rokion brand), was spending excessive time tracking open purchase orders and relying on email for supplier communication, which hid information from the team and led to unexpected late deliveries that impacted production schedules. To address these issues, they evaluated and selected SourceDay’s PO lifecycle platform to give the purchasing team real-time, centralized access to PO details and a more efficient way to communicate with suppliers.

SourceDay implemented its platform with hands-on supplier onboarding and ERP integration, enabling Prairie Machine to centralize PO data, notify vendors of changes, and reduce email-driven workflows. Within 90 days 85% of direct spend lines were flowing through SourceDay (rising to 99% in the first year), PO acknowledgments improved by 41%, and on-time delivery increased by 11%, while the purchasing team gained visibility and saved substantial administrative time.
