Learn how Napoleon Products freed their buyers from spreadsheets and emails to transform supplier communication. The VP of IT of Napoleon Products explains how a global team manages thousands of POs through SourceDay’s centralized platform, increasing on-time delivery, preventing data errors in the ERP, and reducing costly surprises in production. This also improved supplier visibility, allowing their buyers to proactively manage supplier quality and reliability.
