Supply Chain Procurement Platform

The client managed supplier relationships, purchase orders, and demand planning through disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems. This caused long lead times, frequent stockouts of critical materials, and poor visibility into supplier performance. They needed a centralized platform to automate procurement workflows and align purchasing with production demand.

Challenge

• Supplier data, POs, and demand forecasts lived in separate spreadsheets
• Manual procurement processes added unnecessary delays
• Poor demand visibility led to critical material shortages
• No systematic way to track and score supplier reliability

Solution

• Centralized supplier portal with performance scoring and SLA tracking
• Automated PO generation based on demand forecasts and reorder thresholds
• Real-time inventory and lead time visibility across supplier tiers
• Demand planning aligned with production schedules

Architecture

Outcome

• 30% lead time reduction through automated procurement workflows
• 15% procurement cost savings via better supplier management
• 99% on-time material delivery with proactive reorder alerts
• Platform replaced manual spreadsheet-based procurement entirely
