Procurement Management KPIs for the Physical Screening Services Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Resolution Time and Customer Satisfaction (CSAT). Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Availability and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Resolution Time |
|
Total resolution time Average number of available appointments per day |
For vendors that take longer times to deliver drug and health screening results to buyers, it may delay the hiring process and cost valuable time. Average employment screening will take anywhere from two to five days depending on the service. It is also important that vendors have available appointments for a buyer’s potential employee to get screened. If a vendor often has limited availability, the hiring process will be delayed. |
| Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) |
|
Cusomter retention rate Number of new customers per year Number of positive customer responses |
A vendor’s customer retention rate is a good indication of the reliability of a vendor. A vendor that has a lot of new buyers indicates a good reputation and great overall service. Vendors with positive reviews from customers indicate a high customer satisfaction rate, which can make a buyer confident in their choice of vendor. |
