Why a Scoring System is Essential

Relying on memory or scattered notes leads to vague judgments. A standardized scoring system transforms subjective experiences into objective data. By tracking performance over multiple orders, you can:

  • Identify top-performing sellers for future orders and potential exclusive partnerships.
  • Spot negative trends early (e.g., declining quality or slower communication).
  • Make impartial decisions when choosing between multiple suppliers for a new product.
  • Provide clear, fact-based feedback during discussions with your sellers.

The Three Pillars of Reliability

The MyCNBox methodology assigns scores across three critical dimensions. Each pillar is equally important for a successful, stress-free sourcing experience.

This measures the time from order placement to the completion of a thorough Quality Control check by the agent.
