How a Leading Tire Manufacturer Automated Natural Rubber Inventory Onboarding with SFTP Integration

A leading tire manufacturer sources large volumes of Natural Rubber (NR) from global suppliers. During inventory onboarding, critical procurement details such as Purchase Order Number, Schedule Date, and Plant Code were manually entered by the sourcing team. This approach, while workable at smaller volumes, proved unsustainable as operations scaled, introducing errors, delays, and inefficiencies across procurement and logistics. Seamless procurement-to-inventory sync via SFTP means automating the flow of procurement data, such as purchase orders, schedule dates, and plant codes, into the inventory system through secure CSV transfers over SFTP. Instead of manually keying in detail, the system auto-populates records, ensuring error-free onboarding, faster processing, and consistent data across procurement, inventory, and logistics workflows.
