Siktlinje - Inbound Supplier Visibility from Purchase Order to Distribution Centre

Dashboard, purchase orders, PO detail with 6 tabs, the milestone board and arrivals vs need-by. Every one of the 26 demo POs opens its own detail page.

From Sent and Confirmed through Materials in, QC inspection and Ex-works to Arrived at DC, each with its planned date, latest estimate and the difference in days.

Milestone cards turn amber after 3 days late and red after 7. Arrivals up to 7 days after need-by are at risk and later ones are late, and POs whose ready date moved out more than 5 days in a week show under Slipping now.

12 suppliers with 13 factory sites in 4 countries, 26 items, 3 campaigns, 2 distribution centres and 12 staff users, with dashboard totals for a book of 612 open POs.

Dates Nobody Updated

Suppliers confirmed ready dates by email, sometimes weeks after the order, and nobody updated the spreadsheet when a factory slipped. By the time a delay showed in the ERP, the campaign it belonged to was already at risk.

Evidence Scattered Across Partners

Pre-shipment inspections follow AQL sampling under ISO 2859-1, with Norrkulla Hem's policy of zero critical, 2.5 major and 4.0 minor. Their reports came as PDFs from the inspection company, and bills of lading and packing lists from forwarders.

Suppliers in Five Languages

Factory staff in Vietnam, China, India and Turkey work in Vietnamese, Chinese, Hindi, Turkish or English, often on a phone with a slow connection. Each supplier may only see its own orders, and their data is held in the EU under GDPR.

Compliance Questions Without Answers

An FSC claim is valid only when every owner in the chain holds a valid chain of custody certificate, each factory needs a recent social audit, and the EU Deforestation Regulation asks for harvest geolocation for many wood products. None of it was held in one place.
