Transportation KPIs

• On-Time Delivery: Percentage of shipments delivered by the promised date. This metric reflects reliability and efficiency.
• First Attempt Delivery Rate: Percentage of deliveries successfully completed on the first try. Minimizes disruptions and redelivery costs.
• Delivery Time: The average time it takes to deliver a shipment from pick-up to destination. Lower delivery times enhance customer satisfaction.
• Freight Costs per Unit: The average cost of shipping per unit of product (weight, volume, etc.). Track cost efficiency.
• Fuel Efficiency: Track fuel consumption per unit transported (gallon per mile, etc.). Important for managing fuel costs and environmental impact.
• Pick-up on Time: Percentage of shipments picked up within the scheduled timeframe. Ensures smooth operations and avoids delays.
• Carrier Performance: Track on-time delivery, damage rates, and communication effectiveness of your carriers.

Logistics KPIs

• Inventory Turnover: How often inventory is sold and replenished over a period. Indicates efficient inventory management.
• Warehouse Utilization Rate: Percentage of available warehouse space being used for storage. Optimize space utilization.
• Order Fulfillment Accuracy: Percentage of orders shipped with no errors or missing items. High accuracy reduces costs and improves customer satisfaction.
• Order Processing Time: The average time it takes to process an order from receipt to shipment. Shorter processing times improve efficiency.
