Streamlines supplier collaboration and operations from source to ship
WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC)
SAN RAMON, CA, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dana Incorporated, a global leader in the design and manufacture of propulsion and energy-management solutions, is deepening its supply chain digitalization efforts by expanding its adoption of Blume Global’s LiveSource order management module, globally. This strategic move marks a significant step in Dana’s ongoing commitment to enhancing supplier collaboration, improving visibility, and streamlining operations.
Manufacturers use LiveSource’s order management module to collaborate with their direct material suppliers to fulfill the manufacturer’s ongoing contracted bill of materials (BOM) item order volumes. This includes collaboration and acknowledgement of volumes, packaging and shipment preparation, and supplier visibility into the manufacturer’s recognition of invoice and notice of remittance. Manufacturers using this module report a drastic reduction in the time taken by suppliers to process customer orders, while providing more granular shipment-ready data, including item detail, for improved in-bound inventory visibility.
Dana’s global rollout of LiveSource’s order management module tightens integration with suppliers, creates a cohesive and efficient global supply network, while reinforcing confidence between internal and external stakeholders. This improves accuracy, ship-ready data for TMS and inventory fulfillment. It is the latest in a series of capabilities Dana has leveraged through LiveSource’s platform.
Blume Global’s LiveSource, branded internally as “Dana 1Source,” is the central platform for managing relationships with thousands of Dana suppliers worldwide, helping Dana streamline sourcing, quality, order management, and supplier performance. The platform serves as Dana’s “single source of truth” for the global supply base to assess and track supplier performance and other metrics, including quality, delivery, purchasing spend and risk. This helps Dana make decisions on future sourcing for a resilient supply base, mitigate risk, and identify opportunities for cost savings
Initial deployments have proven successful, and scaling global adoption can only encourage and foster supplier adoption, standardizing processes, and reducing inefficiencies across all areas of the business said Chris Dawson, Senior Manager of Purchasing Analytics at Dana. The platform is tailor-made for the manufacturing industry, providing the level of granularity required to operate successfully from source to ship across all processes and enabling execution and visibility at the BOM/item/revision level.
Francois d’Ivernois, Business Development Manager at Blume said: Dana’s ongoing digitalization of its supply chain by partnering with Blume aligns with the broader industry’s digital transformation, especially in the wake of global disruptions that have highlighted the need for resilient, intelligent supply chains. International manufacturing companies like Dana are embracing platforms that enable seamless coordination, end-to-end visibility, and real-time insights, while preparing supply chain data for AI application gains. Blume’s LiveSource solution gives Dana the tools to respond quickly to supply chain challenges and ensure continuity of service to its customers.
