Learn how SPM Oil & Gas used SourceDay to cut pending invoices by $4M, increase supplier participation to 90–95%, and keep PO data accurate with real-time Infor SyteLine integration.

When Demand Swings Fast, Buyers Need Real-Time PO Visibility

SPM Oil & Gas operates in one of the most volatile supply environments in manufacturing. Demand can surge one day and collapse the next, leaving buyers to juggle thousands of purchase orders and components with lead times stretching past 22 weeks.

Improving PO Accuracy. Reducing AP Backlogs. Staying Ahead of 22-Week Lead Times.

Before

• Manual PO Follow-Up Buyers relied on emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls to chase supplier updates across thousands of PO lines — spending hours on transactional work instead of resolving true exceptions.
• Limited Visibility Into Supplier Changes  With long lead times and constant demand swings, it was difficult to know what was really happening with open orders — increasing the risk of missed deliveries and last-minute expediting.
• Lost or Delayed Purchase Orders POs sent via email sometimes went to outdated contacts or disappeared in inboxes, creating costly delays and stressful surprises when suppliers didn’t have the order on file.
• Invoice Matching Delays & AP Bottlenecks Inaccurate pricing and outdated PO data caused invoice discrepancies, driving pending vouchers up to $6M and creating friction with suppliers.

After

• $4M Reduction in Pending Invoices Cleaner, more accurate PO data helped SPM reduce invoice backlogs from $6M to $2M, improving supplier trust and keeping the business off credit holds.
• 90–95% Supplier Adoption Suppliers collaborated through either email or the portal, helping SPM reach near-universal participation across direct suppliers without forcing workflow changes.
• Real-Time PO Updates in Infor SyteLine SourceDay synced supplier acknowledgments, date changes, and price updates directly into Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) — keeping procurement, production, and finance aligned.
• More Predictability Through 22-Week Lead Times Earlier visibility into supplier commitments and changes helped buyers stay ahead of risk and avoid costly surprises caused by shifting demand.
• Exception-Based Purchasing (Less Busywork, More Control) Instead of chasing every order line, buyers focused only on the POs that actually needed attention — saving time and improving overall responsiveness.

“I’m not a change person. When they brought SourceDay in, I thought, ‘I’m not going like this.’ But it saves you time, it saves you money. You have all the data right there. It won me over.”

Near-universal supplier participation.
