Things Between Napoleon and SourceDay Are Heating Up

SourceDay Customer - Napoleon Grill

We recently sat down with Jean Louis Marin, VP of IT & Louise Mayer, ERP Improvement Manager at Napoleon to learn how launching a cloud supplier collaboration platform impacted their business. We were excited to learn that after adopting SourceDay, Napoleon increased their on-time delivery by 35%, decreased invoice errors by 90%, and saved their buyers 1-2 hours a day.

For more than 40 years, Napoleon Products managed supplier pricing, quantity, and lead-time data through email, spreadsheets, and phone calls. However, as the company started to grow, their team struggled to maintain customer satisfaction and protect their revenue. With SourceDay’s PO and AP solution, Napoleon gained the visibility necessary to cost-effectively deliver against the growing demand for Napoleon products.

At the root of Napoleon’s challenges, they needed to transform their purchasing process and automate manual procedures to make their supply chain more reliable. With SourceDay, Napoleon simplified their supplier communication and reduced mismatched AP invoices without having to maintain a supplier portal, go through complicated training, or support revisions.

SourceDay provides us a platform where communication is all orchestrated in one place… It facilitates a lot of the notification and communication processes by letting the users know when they have to take action on things. We see the ability for both users on the procurement side as well as the vendor side to get access to information very easily.”

Speedy Results

Napoleon went live with SourceDay in April 2018 and soon after noticed an improvement in buyer productivity, increased on-time deliveries, and stopped overpaying suppliers. Production plans became more accurate thanks to SourceDay’s software and Napoleon discovered a drastic increase in their ability to deliver to customers on time.

SourceDay paid for itself in less than 3 months.
