The challenge: events living in personal inboxes

CoreMaterials runs construction-materials sourcing for energy-sector builds — dozens of concurrent packages, each with deadlines, clarifications, and awards. Tracking lived in each buyer's inbox and personal tracker. Deadlines slipped quietly; response rates were invisible; coverage depended on who happened to be in the office.

What changed: the portfolio on one screen

Moving events onto Sourceby gave the team a shared dashboard: every open event, its deadline, response status, and award state — visible to everyone, not just the owner.

  • Deadline risk surfaced days early, not after the date
  • Supplier response rates tracked per event and per buyer
  • Coverage gaps visible before invites go out

Results: 142 events, one workspace

The team now tracks 142 concurrent sourcing events from a single dashboard with a 68% supplier response rate — a number they could not have measured before, let alone managed. Late-stage deadline surprises have effectively disappeared, and handovers between buyers stopped being a file-transfer ceremony.

What to copy

If you run more events than one person can hold in their head, the dashboard is the first thing to fix — before discovery, before comparison. Visibility is a prerequisite: you cannot improve a response rate you have never seen.
