Supplier Scorecard: your data, plus the whole market.
Two sets of records you already keep, combined with four things only Blue Book can add.
One watermelon season, four questions.
Watermelons slipped all summer. Here’s how a produce team used Supplier Scorecard to find out why, and what to do about it.
Three categories ran below market this week. Watermelons fell furthest, 7 points behind everyone else buying the same fruit.
So it isn’t just the season.
One supplier, Northstar Fresh, carries 53% of the volume. In the tightest July weeks it filled this team at 77 while filling the rest of the market at 92.
The market held. This supplier didn’t.
Northstar is 7% cheaper than the market, but the discount comes with short loads. Mesa Verde and Delta Sun beat the market on price and service.
Cheap, but short.
The review explains the 7-point drop: 3 points from the season, 4 from the supply base. Then it turns that into a plan.
Cap Northstar at 35%, shift volume to Mesa Verde and Delta Sun, qualify a winter backup.

Supplier Scorecard questions, answered.
Why would we share our data?
You see the market in aggregate, no one sees you, and it’s all covered by an NDA and a written data protocol. No individual company is ever identified in Rest of Market.
Can suppliers pay to be recommended?
No. Recommendations come from score and relevance only.
Is there coverage in my categories?
Your own view works from day one, and broader context grows with every participant. We’ll show you where coverage is today.
I’m a supplier. What does this mean for me?
Great suppliers get found. Reliability has always been a rumor; now it shows on the record, for buyers who are looking for exactly that.
What do we need to get started?
The PO, receiving and QA records you already keep. No new systems; we do the mapping with you, starting with one category.
Right suppliers.
Every season.
