Source it, run it, measure it. In one place.
Most manufacturers track suppliers in one tool, plant operations in another and the data behind both in spreadsheets. Stela connects them, so what you learn while sourcing carries straight into how you operate.
Material sourcing
Discover, verify and win suppliers for any input your plant runs on.
- Map manufacturers, processors, distributors and more
- Evidence levels backed by dated sources
- Contacts, outreach and a pipeline built for sourcing
Plant management
Follow material from the supplier’s dock to your production floor.
- Receiving logs tied to each supplier
- Supplier performance on delivery and quality
- Inbound volumes against what you need
Data collection
Capture the data your operation runs on, once, where it happens.
- Forms for the plant floor and site visits
- Imports from spreadsheets and public records
- One clean record per facility and supplier
Detailed site analysis
Compare locations for your next plant or depot against the supply around them: who is in reach, how much material, and what the site itself offers.
One platform. Any input your plant runs on.
Every workspace is configured for its materials: the supplier types that matter, the evidence that counts, the units you buy in and the stages your team uses. Pick a category to see how a workspace changes.
From a dot on the map to a signed supplier.
Every facility moves through the same four steps. Each one leaves a record your team can check, so nobody has to rediscover what someone else already learned.
Map every candidate
Registries, industry directories, public filings and company sites become one map of facilities, each with its role, operator and how precisely its location is known.
Show the evidence
Each facility carries a plain evidence level backed by dated sources. First-hand confirmation outranks a directory listing, and stale sources get flagged.
Reach the right person
Plant managers, procurement leads and owners, with what each one is responsible for and every call and email logged against the facility.

Honest about what it knows.
A supplier map is only useful if you can tell a lead from a fact. Stela is built so that difference is always visible.
Evidence before claims
A listing is a lead. Capability, capacity, quality and willingness to supply are separate claims, each with its own sources and dates.
Approximate stays approximate
Estimated volumes, city-level locations and straight-line distances are labeled as such. Unknown values stay unknown.
Briefs you can hand over
Turn any shortlist or filtered view into a brief with figures, open questions and method notes that leadership can read cold.
Find candidates faster and keep every conversation, source and next step in one place.
See what arrives, from whom and in what condition, and how each supplier performs over time.
Get a credible, evidence-backed view of supply and operations for planning, partners and investors.
