Supplier Blind Spots Were Costing Millions in Lost Production Time
A Tier-1 automotive components manufacturer operating across North America, Europe, and Asia was facing recurring production line stoppages tied to supplier delays. Their procurement team had no real-time visibility into supplier lead-time variance or risk signals. Decisions were reactive, buffer stocks were bloated, and line stoppages were becoming a quarterly norm. Conforge deployed its Supplier Intelligence layer directly on top of its existing ERP, with no migration and no disruption.
