Vendor performance

Delivery delays and price creep show up before the next PO.

On-time delivery rate, average delay, and price variance tracked per vendor so you know who is reliable before you commit to the next cycle.

Avg delay tracked per vendor and compared to contract terms, not just benchmarks.

Price variance flagged when a vendor's quote exceeds their 90-day average by more than 3%.

Incident history (short shipments, quality returns) attached to the vendor record so it travels with the next RFQ.

Inventory awareness

Min/max thresholds that trigger replenishment decisions before stockout risk grows.

Inventory levels monitored against configured min and max thresholds. Items below minimum surface for purchase review, not after a production line stops.

Purchase order creation

POs created from inventory data, vendor history, and consumption rate — not guesswork.
