Operational KPIs: The Compass for Real Contract Compliance

Strategic Fleet Control: The tool to honor contracts, increase trust and optimize your operations.

Perfectly drafted contracts are worthless if not properly executed. These operational KPIs will help you:

  • Measure actual vs. agreed performance.
  • Identify execution bottlenecks.
  • Take proactive corrective actions.

Key KPIs and How to Measure Them:

  1. SLA Compliance Rate
    • Formula: (# on-time deliveries/services / Total deliveries) x 100
    • E-commerce example:
      • Contract: 98% ≤24-hr deliveries
      • Actual: 89% (Critical alert!)
    • Action:
      • <90%: Logistics process review
      • 90-95%: Route optimization
      • >95%: Operator bonuses
  2. Average Post-Sale Response Time:
    • Tech support case:
      • Agreed: 4 hrs for priority support
      • Actual: 6.5 hrs (63% non-compliance)
    • Solution:
      • Chatbot for initial filtering (35% ticket reduction)
      • Real-time technician availability dashboard
  3. % of Complete and Accurate Orders
    • Retail impact:
      • Typical error: 5% incomplete orders
      • Hidden cost: $15K/month in refunds + churn
    • Improvement tactics:
      • Double-check picking system
      • Supplier penalties for recurrent errors

Common Measurement Mistakes:

  • Confusing “delivered” with “compliant” (e.g., late but logged as success).
  • Not segmenting by client/product type (VIPs deserve stricter metrics).
  • Ignoring external factors (weather, holidays) affecting operations.
