Back to SourceDay

Again, Mike, one of the things that I have always thought about is that proactive approach. I mean, I’ve always asked buyers, we’re on a call, do you have time every day to go confirm an open purchase order that’s due next week? You know, and they’re like, no, I mean, I don’t. I mean, I literally don’t have. Is that kind of the world you were in is you would love to be able to confirm every open PO, but you couldn’t because you didn’t have the time. Jason, off of that, just about the lines that you were saying before, you know, if let’s let’s just say we we have a PO and ours some of our POs could be in forty plus lines. Just if you think about the color offerings, the size offerings that we have. So if we have a fairly large PO, it used to mean the buyer going into visual and having to open each line, change the date manually, go to the next one. And it was it sounds easy, I suppose, but it’s just really non value add to where if a supplier proposes a new date because of a port problem or we couldn’t get a container, then we can understand that and we can accept it in five seconds. Then it also, you know, opens ourselves up to having a conversation with the supplier if they’re doing something that we don’t we don’t either understand or we don’t agree with, we could push back on the supplier and propose or just ask why even through source day, you know, propose new dates. So, yeah, I think the landscape has completely changed. And going back to the delivery dates and just on the delivery schedule is that we have a lot of a lot of international product, but what we’re trying to do better at is is consolidate overseas to where we can have a PO with twenty different items on it, but maybe all those twenty items maybe that PO doesn’t fill the container, and the supplier has half of it ready before the rest. So they can go in, put the dates in for the part that is ready, even market it ready to ship, and then it can help us consolidate to save on freight.
