A comprehensive and up-to-date view of vendor performance – objective analysis for procurement decisions
COSMO ERP Vendor Rating is an integrated vendor rating solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It gives you a complete, real-time view of vendor performance by combining automatically calculated quantitative metrics ("hard facts"), such as on-time delivery, quantity compliance, and return rates, with individually configured qualitative assessments ("soft facts").
Objective analysis replaces decisions based on gut feelings and brings full visibility to your entire vendor network. A centralized data foundation eliminates manual reporting and delivers measurable improvements to your procurement processes. With COSMO ERP Vendor Rating, every vendor decision is backed by reliable, measurable criteria, bringing greater consistency, confidence, and cost efficiency to your purchasing team.

Comprehensive vendor rating for Business Central – flexible and scalable
COSMO ERP Vendor Rating combines quantitative and qualitative criteria in one flexible scoring model.

The solution is fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and works with real-time ERP data, enabling continuous, automated score updates and full transparency across your vendor base.
