Five Dimensions to See the Whole Procurement Picture

From supplier concentration to price trends, from delivery quality to category mix — data helps you optimize your procurement strategy

📊 Supplier Share

A top-10-by-amount supplier share chart that identifies "over-dependence" risk (alert when a single supplier exceeds 30%)

📈 Category Spend Trends

Tally purchase amount and quantity by category by month, spotting categories rising too fast to hedge risk in advance

On-Time Arrival Rate

Actual vs agreed arrival-date variance, ranked by supplier, singling out the chronic late deliverers

💰 Unit-Price Fluctuation

Compare the same product's purchase price across times and suppliers to spot abnormal swings

Acceptance Pass Rate

Pass-rate statistics at inbound acceptance, ranked by supplier, surfacing quality issues promptly

Supplier Concentration Analysis: Control Both Risk and Bargaining Power

Over-dependence on a single supplier is a hidden procurement risk; being too fragmented loses scale bargaining power. SBK presents top suppliers' share directly via a Pareto chart, helping you find the sweet spot of "concentration".

  • Top-10 suppliers' amount share + Pareto cumulative curve
  • Auto-alert when a single supplier exceeds the threshold (30%)
  • Multi-supplier comparison within a category: combined ranking of unit price / lead time / quality
  • Supplier profile page: annual purchase value, average lead time, pass rate

Price-Trend Alerts: Catch Cost Movements Early

Purchase unit price is the lifeline of profit. SBK automatically monitors each product's purchase-price fluctuation and alerts when it exceeds a preset threshold (e.g. +10% month-on-month), avoiding "the price hike going unnoticed by finance for half a year".

  • Product-level unit-price fluctuation curves by week / month / quarter granularity
  • Side-by-side comparison of the same product across different suppliers
  • Configurable anomaly thresholds, pushing to WeChat Work when exceeded
  • Total purchase cost YoY / MoM breakdown to pinpoint the source of increases
