Industry: Precision Agriculture Technology

Key Issues:
- Broken supplier communication
- Low on-time delivery
- Excess inventory costs
Challenge
Before SourceDay, Ag Leader’s supply chain was hampered by unreliable ERP data, broken supplier communication, and mounting delays that left on-time delivery stuck at 76%. Buyers spent hours chasing updates, suppliers lacked visibility into demand, and production was protected only by stockpiling excess inventory that tied up cash and warehouse space.
Solution
Ag Leader adopted SourceDay’s PO collaboration to streamline its supply chain, replacing emails and spreadsheets with one source of truth. The clean, intuitive UI made adoption easy, SourceDay’s team accelerated implementation, and suppliers quickly went all-in—strengthening relationships and aligning everyone around live, reliable PO data.
Results
With SourceDay integrated into Epicor, Ag Leader transformed its manual PO process into a streamlined collaboration hub, driving on-time delivery from 76% to 99% and cutting fulfillment to just five days even with long lead times. All strategic suppliers adopted the platform, communication improved, and inventory dropped 32%, freeing millions in working capital with more savings ahead. The impact was felt company-wide—customers receive shipments faster and more reliably, executives recognized the financial gains, and leadership celebrated the supply chain team’s success. As Supply Chain Manager Ryan Witt put it, “OTD is so closely tied to sales it can make the difference between a mediocre year and an amazing year… I wouldn’t want to do this without SourceDay.”
