Because delays don’t always happen right at the due date. They often start much earlier in the process, particularly for those long winded suppliers that we have. They can start in fabrication, QA, or staging, but we don’t have the visibility as to where that is. We often learn about those changes when it’s too late to react in a really effective way. And so configurable milestones creates a shared language or shared insight on the progress of the purchase orders for both the buyer and supplier. So we have clarity early in the life cycle. Our milestones are optional. They’re configurable and they are interval by both the supplier and the buyer. So allows your teams to apply them where that insight really truly matters. So for our suppliers, those milestone updates can reduce some of that reactive status of requests and those open order updates that you’re sending to them. For our buyers, they enable early risk detection and more proactive collaboration. And so we’ve got the ability to see where purchase order lines are on the dashboard and also some reporting behind this as well. So our milestones is a really great way to get some of that tailored insight to really make some progressive plans and mitigate risks early.
