The problem
You "know" which suppliers are unreliable but you couldn't prove it in a board meeting. You also don't actually know — you remember the bad ones vividly and forget the boring-but-reliable ones. Procurement decisions get made on memory, not data.
How EF-Link solves it
Three steps. One outcome.
Auto-tracked from your real activity
EF-Link captures every PO's expected vs actual delivery date, ordered vs received quantity, quality rejections, and quoted vs invoiced price. No supplier survey, no manual scoring.
Composite reliability score
OTIF (on-time-in-full), quality, price stability, and responsiveness combine into a 0-100 score per supplier per material category. Trends shown over time.
Recommendations that change behaviour
EF-Link tells you which suppliers to favour with more volume, which to put on review, and which to replace. Recommendations come with the underlying data, so the conversation with the supplier is fact-based.
The outcome
What you should expect
- Stop making procurement decisions on gut feel
- Reward your good suppliers (they'll prioritise you)
- Identify problem suppliers before they hurt a project
- Defensible audit for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and customer due-diligence questionnaires
Common questions
Frequently asked
How long before scores are meaningful?▼
About 3 months for established suppliers (enough orders to be statistically valid). EF-Link shows confidence levels so you don't over-react to a small sample.
Can I share the score with the supplier?▼
Yes — EF-Link generates a supplier-facing scorecard you can share. Many of our customers find this alone improves supplier behaviour.
What if my supplier disputes a poor score?▼
Every score is built from your data — POs, GRNs, rejections, invoices. You can show the underlying records. If a record is wrong, you correct it and the score recalculates.
