I encourage you to really take a look at your supply network, engage in some performance reviews, look at your operating procedures, and talk to your customer success team about how can we continually activate suppliers for source day. Having a regular alignment cadence is really important for you to just have this continued optimization of source day and expanding your network to many different suppliers. And I know what you might be thinking. Not all of our suppliers can use Source Stay the way that everyone else does. And so we have five different methodologies or collaboration kind of avenues for your suppliers. And that might sound like more. We’re going to talk about a new one that we’re excited to offer. You’re familiar with our interactive email. This is really designed for maybe a supplier that doesn’t have a lot of PO lines. So our interactive email, no login, very quick adoption, and we’re updating real time via email. Our portal access gives your suppliers the exact same PO dashboard that you have and allows them to have full visibility and full reporting and full actions. And they can collaborate via bulk import as well. We also offer ways to extend your enterprise API or a hybrid EDI if you’re operating in those methods. But the one that we’re most excited about is our intelligent document processing. This one has a new way for your suppliers who are already sending you order acknowledgments, and there is zero onboarding and zero change for your suppliers. And so this brings me to our second workflow, automate order acknowledgments. With IDP, we have a real opportunity to expand your supplier network to include those suppliers that are sending you automated order acknowledgements. So these suppliers typically are ones that have automation built on their end that receive your purchase orders and automatically send you an order acknowledgment or an OA. With this new capability, we can now take those order acknowledgments, ingest those, process the information, pull out key pieces like purchase order number, item part number, cost, quantity, date, all those key details, and directly match those to the purchase order at the line level like we do today. And then we take all of that order acknowledgment, it’s connected to the PO, we would update your ERP. And then anytime that your suppliers are proposing changes, we route those changes through your purchase order dashboard as we do today. Let’s take a look at how this all comes together and explore our intelligent document processing that’s currently in beta. So here you can see I’m in Source Day and I have a new hub at the top called our match queue. This is where we’re going to route all of those order acknowledgments that we’re matching. And you can see that I’ve got a number that have automatically matched and have been updated in my ERP. I also have some that I’ve reviewed and pushed kind of manually. Let’s talk about kind of why that might be. So we’re going to be extracting those key pieces of information that I just mentioned earlier. And anytime that our confidence in the match to the PO line is not where it needs to be, we’re going to route these to review for you. You come in, we’re going to land you exactly on what needs to be reviewed. I’m going to show you exactly the order acknowledgments that need your attention. When we click into review any of these, we’re going to be taken directly to that OA. Here I can see the exact order acknowledgment line that needs my attention. And with just a couple of clicks, I can confirm those matches and update my ERP. I also want to draw your attention to these flags that we have noticed here. So when we open this up, we’ll see those proposed changes or where the OA we’ve matched at the line level, but the individual fields are different. We’re going to route all of those changes just as we do today to your order dashboard. So when you go into your needs attention on that PO dashboard, these are now going to be there as proposed changes from these suppliers. Additionally, we’ll highlight where these changes came from in the accept propose modal. So giving you the most insight as we can on these order acknowledgments. If this is something that you’re interested in, please let our teams know. We’d be happy to invite you to explore our IDP even further. IDP is one more way that we can help you extend your ERP to your entire supply network. We know that when we have suppliers using Source Day, you will see late order prevention, a reduction in buffer stock, and you will gain tremendous efficiencies just in extending your network alone. That on time delivery to you enhances, but ultimately your on time delivery to your customer significantly enhances. And all of this is built on 100% PO accuracy back in your ERP.
