Overview
Vendor performance directly impacts procurement efficiency, inventory availability, and business continuity. The client needed a structured rating system inside NetSuite to evaluate vendors using real transaction history.
Business Challenge
Vendor evaluation was manual and inconsistent. Procurement teams had to review multiple reports to understand delivery delays, partial receipts, pricing mismatches, and return patterns.
NetSuite Solution Implemented
A custom NetSuite module was created to calculate vendor ratings using transaction-level data from purchase orders, item receipts, vendor bills, and returns.
Key Metrics
- On-time delivery rate.
- Order fill rate.
- Quality and return rate.
- Price accuracy.
- Quantity accuracy.
- Manual communication rating.

Key Features
- SuiteQL-based performance calculation.
- Monthly and quarterly score logs.
- Vendor record star rating.
- Score trend dashboard.

Business Impact
The solution helped procurement teams improve vendor monitoring, reduce supply chain risk, and make decisions based on actual performance data.
