Vendor Performance Tracker

A live scorecard for every vendor — SLA, response time, cost variance, defect rate, on-time delivery — that auto-flags the bottom quartile and triggers renewal review 90 days out.

The problem

Most SMBs run 40-120 active vendors with no scorecard. SLA violations go unrecorded, response time drifts from 4 hrs to 2 days, on-time delivery rate slips from 95% to 78%, and cost-per-unit creeps 8-15% YoY because nobody runs the comparison. Renewals come up and the ops lead has 3 days to make a $50K decision with zero data — so they renew at whatever rate finance puts in front of them. The bottom-quartile vendor is invisible until they cause a customer-facing incident, by which point you have already paid them through the next quarter.

Typical leak: 12-22% cost reduction available on consolidated vendor reviews; 1-3 avoided incidents/yr from early SLA-violation flagging worth $10-80K each

Vendor cost reduction + SLA compliance

12-22% cost reduction on consolidated reviews; SLA-violation visibility lifts on-time delivery rate from ~78% to ~92%
