Epicor’s new partnership with SourceDay may be making headlines, but for many Epicor customers, the benefits of this collaboration are nothing new. Long before the formal agreement, manufacturers running Epicor ERP were already turning to SourceDay to reduce procurement risks, improve on-time delivery, and strengthen supplier relationships.
That real-world impact didn’t go unnoticed. As more Epicor customers achieved measurable results with SourceDay—fewer late orders, better supplier communication, and greater operational efficiency—it became clear that a formal partnership could help scale those benefits across its entire manufacturing base.
Epicor selected SourceDay as its go-to supplier collaboration partner to help manufacturers modernize direct procurement and stay ahead of today’s supply chain volatility. SourceDay integrates seamlessly with Epicor ERPs, enabling real-time supplier communication, automated PO management, and early visibility into potential disruptions.
Here’s how Epicor customers across industries have been using SourceDay to modernize their direct spend operations:
Prairie Machine: Eliminating Missed POs and Production Surprises
Heavy equipment manufacturer Prairie Machine relies on on-time delivery to keep mining operations running safely and efficiently. But with a manual purchasing process and limited supplier visibility, the team was often left guessing about inbound material status. After implementing SourceDay, Prairie Machine eliminated missed POs, reduced past due orders by 70%, and decreased late deliveries from 40% to just 15%. Buyers now spend less time chasing down updates and more time proactively managing risk.
BraunAbility: Gaining Visibility Across a Complex, High-Mix Supply Chain
BraunAbility, a manufacturer of wheelchair-accessible vehicles and lifts, runs a high-mix, low-volume production model with hundreds of open POs at any given time. Without SourceDay, managing that complexity was a major strain on procurement and supplier teams alike. Since adopting SourceDay, BraunAbility has improved communication across 100+ suppliers, achieved a 94% PO acknowledgment rate, and brought new visibility to late orders—reducing late lines by 25% in less than a year.
Ben Hitchens, Associated Director of Procurement and Supply, shares how his team went from a reactive, manual purchasing process to a streamlined, proactive approach powered by automation and collaboration.
Hubbardton Forge: Delivering High-End Lighting Without Procurement Delays
Vermont-based lighting manufacturer Hubbardton Forge needed a better way to manage procurement as demand surged for its made-to-order products. Manual tracking processes and frequent order changes made it hard to stay on schedule. With SourceDay, the team cut PO exceptions by more than 50%, reduced PO acknowledgment time from 3 days to just 1 hour and brought order accuracy to 99.9%. These gains have helped Hubbardton Forge maintain its premium delivery experience—without expanding headcount.
CMD & CMAFH: Unlocking Efficiency and Data for Two Epicor Customers
Both CMD, a packaging equipment manufacturer, and CMAFH, a fluid power distributor, use Epicor ERP—and both needed a better way to manage supplier communication. By using SourceDay, they automated PO collaboration, reduced buyer workloads, and gained better visibility into supplier performance. CMAFH increased PO acknowledgment rate to 97% and reduced late POs by 35%, while CMD improved on-time delivery by 15% and cut hours of manual follow-up work each week.
Chatsworth Products: Bringing Procurement into the Modern Era
Chatsworth Products manufactures IT infrastructure equipment and runs Epicor across multiple facilities. Before SourceDay, procurement was bogged down by manual processes and reactive firefighting. After rolling out SourceDay, the team improved supplier collaboration, brought consistency to procurement workflows, and significantly reduced the time spent managing PO changes. As a result, the company saw a 35% drop in late orders and now spends 40% less time managing exceptions.
The Bottom Line
This partnership may just now be official, but the proof is already here: Epicor customers using SourceDay are seeing measurable results: from fewer late deliveries to stronger supplier relationships and better decision-making. Whether you’re just starting to explore supplier collaboration or looking to scale what’s already working, SourceDay’s integration with Epicor makes it easy to take the next step.
