Your internal coordination is. When sourcing, logistics, quality, and operations each run their own meetings, commitments fragment across tools and memory. The supply chain breaks at the coordination layer. 62% of supply chain disruptions are caused by poor coordination between internal teams and suppliers, not external shocks. The disruption wasn’t a hurricane or a port closure. It was a procurement decision that logistics didn’t hear about until the container was already booked. Gartner Supply Chain Risk Report ### 200+ commitments per quarter The average supply chain director tracks commitments from dozens of suppliers across QBRs, S&OP reviews, and procurement meetings, most of them living in spreadsheets and email threads. ### Invisible drift A supplier commits to a revised lead time in a QBR. Logistics plans against the old number. Nobody flags the gap until production is affected. ### 4 functions, 4 truths Sourcing uses SAP, logistics uses a TMS, quality tracks in spreadsheets, operations runs off Slack. None of them show the supply chain director what was decided across all functions this week. How In Parallel helps ## From scattered commitments to one shared reality. 01 ### Supplier meeting decision capture In Parallel joins your supplier reviews, QBRs, and procurement meetings, captures every commitment, owner, and deadline. No manual notes. No chasing suppliers for confirmation. 02 ### S&OP pages that stay current Your S&OP workspace pages update after each meeting. When a sourcing decision affects logistics timelines, it lands on the pages that cover it the same day, not a cycle later in the next S&OP review. Every edit is in version history and links back to the meeting. 03 ### Supplier commitment record Every supplier commitment is captured with an owner and links back to the QBR or call it came from. Risks and open questions stay open until someone resolves them, so a revised lead time is on record before it disrupts your production schedule. 04 ### Cross-functional visibility Sourcing, logistics, quality, and operations finally see the same picture. Decisions made in one function's meeting are visible to every team they affect, in real time. Trusted by operations teams ## A CPG supply chain team saw supplier changes before they hit production. > “We used to discover supplier commitment changes when they affected production. Now they are on record the same week they are agreed, before they cost us anything.” 62% fewer coordination-related disruptions 6-8 hrs saved per director per week 1 week earlier sight of open risks on average <3 wks typical time to value Source: internal customer averages, 2026 cohort.

Without In Parallel - Supplier commitments scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and memory - S&OP plans stale within days of the review meeting - Quality issues discovered after production, not after the supplier call - Procurement and logistics working from different versions of the truth - Disruptions caused by internal miscoordination, not supplier failure With In Parallel - Every supplier commitment captured with owner, deadline, and context - S&OP pages that update after each meeting - Revised supplier commitments on record before they hit the production schedule - Sourcing, logistics, quality, and ops aligned automatically - Disruptions caught at the coordination layer, not the shop floor Built for supply chain teams ## Your stack.
