FAQs

1
How does the Automated Supplier Scorecard work in daily operations?
The evaluation runs on a schedule or after order completion. The workflow gathers data from ERP, Excel and ticket systems, scores it against predefined criteria and generates a structured scorecard. Procurement, QM and executives receive the results directly in Microsoft Teams.
2
Which criteria are included?
Common metrics include on-time delivery, pricing trends and complaints. Additional criteria can be added if data is available. The key is a consistent logic that ensures fairness and comparability.
3
Which systems need to be connected?
Typically the ERP system, Excel files and service ticket data. Because the solution operates fully inside Microsoft 365, interfaces are secure and easy to maintain without extra infrastructure.
4
How secure is the solution?
All processing stays within the M365 ecosystem. Role-based access, audit logs and controlled storage ensure GDPR-compliant handling. PromptingBirds designs every blueprint with security and transparency in mind.
5
What happens if data is missing?
In these cases, the workflow applies a neutral score for that criterion. This keeps evaluations usable without distorting results.
6
Which departments benefit the most?
Procurement gains clear performance insights, QM gets consistent quality metrics and executives receive risk transparency at a glance. All teams work from the same data foundation.
7
How does the automation influence ROI?
Early detection of supplier risks reduces failures by about 15%. Based on typical outage costs, this results in approximately €100,000 in annual protection.
8
How long does implementation take?
Usually a few weeks. PromptingBirds delivers a ready-to-use blueprint that is then adapted to your systems, metrics and structure.
9
Can the scorecards be customized?
Yes. Thresholds, metrics and visualizations can be tailored precisely to the company’s needs — without additional tools.
10
Is the solution scalable?
Absolutely. New suppliers, data sources or scoring models can be added without changing the core workflow.
