Supplier performance

Logistified tracks how reliably each supplier delivers, then groups them into performance bucketsSupplier performance bucketA grouping based on the supplier's on-time-delivery rate — "Excellent" (95%+), "Good" (90–94%), "Needs improvement" (less than 90%), or "No data" (no completed POs yet). Read more → so you can spot patterns at a glance. Today the metric is one number: on-time delivery rate.

The percentage of past POs from a supplier that arrived by the expected delivery date. Higher is better. Lower means you need more safety stock to compensate.

For each closed PO from a supplier, Logistified compares the actual received date to the expected delivery date. The on-time rate is the fraction of POs that arrived on or before expected.

Computed continuously — every closed PO contributes one data point.

The supplier list displays the rate as a bucket:

BucketThreshold
Excellent95% or higher
Good90–94.99%
Needs improvementLess than 90%
No dataNot enough completed POs to score

The reorder math can optionally factor in supplier reliabilitySupplier reliabilityA percentage you set manually on a supplier representing how reliably they deliver on time. Default off. Used by the forecast's reorder math only when the supplier-reliability setting is enabled on the view. Read more → when computing safety stock — a less-reliable supplier means a thicker cushion. Toggle in the forecast settings panel.

When the toggle is off, safety stock is based purely on demand variability.

You can manually set a supplier’s on-time delivery rate (rare — usually you let Logistified compute it). Useful for new suppliers where the computed value isn’t yet meaningful, or when you have data from before Logistified started watching.
