Supply chain compliance is no longer a box-checking exercise, but a business-critical function that drives market access, influences product design, and builds consumer trust. Many teams are still following a playbook built for a different era: chasing supplier surveys, relying on outdated portals, and reacting to regulations after they take effect.
Global supply chain regulations are moving faster, supply chain standards are stricter, and manual processes can’t keep up. What once passed as ’best practice’ has become a bottleneck. Companies making real progress are those willing to rethink supplier compliance efforts and shift from reactive campaigns to proactive, system-driven strategies.
That’s why we created this video series, led by our Chief Strategy Officer, Travis Miller. Each short clip challenges old assumptions, shares lessons learned, and highlights the strategies compliance leaders are using to get ahead. With decades of expertise, Travis tackles the biggest barriers in supply chain compliance and delivers practical insights you can apply right away.
Automation isn’t the problem—manual work is. In this clip, Travis exposes the biggest misconception in compliance and shows where teams should focus to cut inefficiency and risk.
Most compliance software layers automation on top of messy systems. Travis explains how Source Intelligence flips this model by starting with structured, part-level data so automation is precise, scalable, and effective.
When companies automate flawed data, the problems don’t disappear. They multiply. In this clip, Travis explains why jumping into automation too soon undermines compliance, and why stabilizing your data first is essential before scaling with supply chain compliance solutions.
“Automation isn’t the solution—it’s the amplifier.” In this clip, Travis shows how automation magnifies both strengths and weaknesses, and why scaling the wrong systems can backfire. He outlines how to ensure automation supports (not sabotages) compliance.
If your supplier response rate is plateauing, it’s not a supplier problem. It’s a strategy problem. Travis explains what drives supplier silence and how leading companies are rethinking their approach to move beyond the 30–40% ceiling.
Asking suppliers to log in and re-enter data they’ve already provided creates fatigue and resistance. In this clip, Travis highlights the hidden cost of redundant requests and how Source Intelligence built compliance workflows to eliminate unnecessary friction.
Supplier fatigue isn’t just frustration. It's a measurable business risk. Travis shows why teams should treat supplier fatigue as a KPI worth tracking, and how ignoring it can directly undermine compliance performance.
The best compliance programs feel invisible to suppliers: no extra logins, no duplicate requests, no friction. In this clip, Travis outlines what a great supplier experience looks like and how Source Intelligence helps teams achieve it.
Regulations are converging toward a single end state: a digital twin of every part you buy. That means real-time, transaction-specific data on material composition, supplier origin, and compliance status.
The companies making progress are starting small and focusing on:
At Source Intelligence, we’ve been helping global enterprise organizations make this shift for years. Our supply chain compliance software is built to reduce manual work, improve supplier relationships, and deliver the transparency regulators demand.
