Item Performance
Predict. Prevent.
Protect your margins.
Your ERP runs on data — but not all data can be trusted.
Bad lead times, inaccurate prices, and supplier inconsistency silently inflate costs and create chaos across your supply chain. SourceDay ensures your data can be trusted.
Inventory risk isn’t about what’s in stock, it’s about what’s at stake.
When most purchase orders change two or three times, it’s not because your team
isn’t working hard enough, it’s because they’re working with the wrong data.
MRPs and planning systems rely on static ERP data, but real-world supplier behavior shifts daily.
SourceDay's Items hub identifies the biggest gaps between plan and reality so you can address them before they hit your bottom line.
One hub for every part, every risk
The Items hub brings together all your item data into one intelligent part performance dashboard — shining a light on risks and blind spots.
SourceDay AI continuously analyzes PO data to flag risks on your parts and recommend fixes. And with Global Tariff Risks, buyers can spot tariff-driven cost increases before they hit margins.
