Assumptions

Each point of late delivery and of returns is costed the way it cost the sample business; overpaying, concentration and new suppliers are added at the sample business’s rate.4 Yearly savings and sales at risk are shown separately, not added together.

Why it happens

Every weak supplier costs you in a different way

Seven in 10 organizations had a critical supplier fail in the past year, and most were reacting rather than preventing it.1 Supplier risk ranks among the top supply chain risks.5

What your current tools miss

Each one helps. None scores delivery, quality and cost together, as it happens.

More than a scorecard

Leverage in every negotiation

Facts on delivery, quality and price, by supplier, at every review and renewal.

Fewer surprises for customers

A supplier slipping is caught before your shelves run short.

A proven alternative, ready

When a supplier slips, you know who else can supply it, and how well.

What Axyo does

A warning with the fix, for each way a supplier lets you down

Axyo monitors every supplier’s delivery, quality and cost continuously. When one starts to slip, or too much rides on one, the right person gets the fix and what it’s worth. Moving volume applies where customers accept a substitute; branded items stay with the brand.

Your rules, your call

Axyo recommends, and your team accepts or overrides. Or put it on autopilot, and Axyo acts on its own within your rules.

Last year weak supplier performance cost $940K: $290K from late or short deliveries (about 0.83% of the value of late or short lines), $210K from quality problems (about 7% of the value returned), and $440K from paying more than needed, relying on one supplier and new suppliers not yet proven (about 0.24% of purchases). 31% of sales, about $78M, are on items with one supplier.
