In the world of sourcing and supply chain management, timeliness determines credibility. A supplier's ability to deliver orders on schedule is a critical metric for their reliability and your business's stability.
Late shipments disrupt your entire operation. They lead to stockouts, delayed production, disappointed customers, and ultimately, lost revenue. Tracking delivery performance is not just administrative work—it's a strategic necessity for risk management and building a resilient supply chain.
The MuleBuy On-Time Delivery Tracker is designed to transform raw shipping data into actionable insights. Our spreadsheet provides a clear, calculated view of each supplier's performance.
At its heart, the tool automates the key calculation:
Punctuality % = (Number of On-Time Deliveries / Total Deliveries) * 100.
This simple yet powerful percentage gives you an immediate, objective benchmark for each supplier.
Using the MuleBuy spreadsheet is straightforward. Consistently log each order's Promised Delivery DateActual Delivery Date. The spreadsheet handles the rest, updating percentages and providing a visual dashboard of supplier reliability.
We recommend reviewing these metrics regularly in supplier scorecard meetings, making them a cornerstone of your vendor management strategy.
