Purchase Order Automation

Rocore Moves Away from “Business as Usual”

Founded in 1984, Rocore began as a supplier of fabricated sub-assemblies used in heavy-duty industrial radiators. Now, they supply a wide variety of heat exchange products and services. Although the company’s products changed over time, their procurement processes stayed the same. Rocore knew something had to change, and looked towards SourceDay for the solution.

Before adopting SourceDay, Rocore experienced many of the same problems that thousands of other manufactures experience on a daily basis; late or incorrect purchase orders, missed acknowledgments, and inaccurate pricing. Rocore’s procurement team struggled to chase down PO data from vendors, manually update changes to POs in Syteline/CloudSuite Industrial ERP, and meet delivery dates on-time.

We were operating like a lot of manufacturers, making do with the tools and manual processes that have always been used.

Tina Grow, IT Director at Rocore

After a few months using SourceDay, we sat down with Rocore’s IT Director, Tina Grow to learn how their business had changed.

Grow was impressed with the consistency and accuracy that SourceDay’s collaboration engine brought to Rocore’s entire PO process for both buyers and suppliers. Since SourceDay seamlessly integrates with Syteline/CloudSuite Industrial ERP, purchase orders flow directly to suppliers and every PO modification is automatically updated. In addition to saving Grow countless employee hours, SourceDay’s unified dashboard completely eliminated the frustration of tracking down POs across multiple systems.

Uniting Buyers and Suppliers

Since Rocore pays for the license, its suppliers access SourceDay for free. With SourceDay, Rocore’s suppliers are able to streamline labor-intensive tasks, quickly acknowledge POs, and ultimately, get paid faster. SourceDay provides all the necessary training for Rocore buyers and their vendors, making the transition simple.

I don’t have to train our users, I don’t have to train vendors. It’s a very small footprint on our server…[SourceDay] handles everything.
