Intelligent decision making is further enabled by implementing and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs). These KPIs provide metrics to measure various aspects of the business.

With the proper KPIs in place, organizations can leverage data and analytics to measure proficiencies and operations. KPIs that optimize data analytics provide real-time business intelligence about every facet of the supply chain. Data-based KPIs also help companies establish performance baselines, set procurement goals and continually measure progress against those procurement goals to identify areas in order to cut costs, improve efficiencies and secure the best pricing from suppliers.
