How Do I Track Supplier On-Time Delivery Performance?
You track on-time performance by comparing expected versus actual delivery date for every purchase order, letting a dashboard calculate the rate automatically per supplier. On Jestor, this runs through dashboard indicators comparing expected and actual delivery dates.
Judging supplier reliability from impression, based on a recent memorable late delivery, misses the actual pattern of how a supplier performs across many orders.
What impression-based supplier evaluation costs
- No real data confirming how a supplier actually performs across many orders
- A recent, memorable late delivery dominating perception over a quieter pattern
- Difficulty negotiating with a supplier without objective performance data
- Risk of continuing with an underperforming supplier simply out of habit
How tracking supplier on-time delivery works
- Expected and actual delivery dates compare for every purchase order
- A dashboard calculates on-time rate automatically per supplier
- Patterns emerge across many orders, not just one memorable late delivery
- This data supports informed negotiation or a decision to switch suppliers
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Objective tracking reveals the actual pattern that impression alone would miss
- Ranked performance data strengthens negotiating position with suppliers
- This supports data-driven decisions about which suppliers to continue using
- This scales from a handful of suppliers to a complex, diverse supply base
