🎯 What Is a Procurement KPI Scorecard?

A Procurement KPI Scorecard is a structured analytics tool designed to evaluate procurement performance through measurable indicators. It consolidates cost, efficiency, and supplier data into one visual interface, making it easier to identify trends, monitor targets, and drive improvements.

• Track MTD (Month-to-Date) and YTD (Year-to-Date) procurement KPIs

• Compare performance against targets and previous year data

• Use traffic-light indicators and arrows for instant visualization

• Analyze supplier performance and cost optimization

This scorecard eliminates manual reporting work, ensures consistency, and supports data-driven procurement management.
