OpsGrid · Supplier delay alerts · Business Central

The vendor’s already late. You find out when the line needs the part.

The missed delivery date, the unconfirmed PO, the vendor late four times this quarter — it’s all in Business Central days before it hits the floor. Nobody’s watching for it early enough to act.

The cost of finding out a supplier is late from the line, not the PO

The U.S. food retail industry alone loses an estimated $15–$20 billion a year to items that are out of stock or otherwise unsaleable (McKinsey & Company), and a meaningful share of that traces back to a supplier that missed its date. Every one of those dates is already logged in BC.

What OpsGrid surfaces

Two supplier signals. Surfaced before the damage is done.

Supplier performance data your purchasing team currently assembles manually, or discovers too late. OpsGrid pulls it from BC continuously.

  • Supplier on-time delivery — worst performers ranked by revenue at risk Not an average. Each vendor’s OTD trend with the specific open orders exposed
  • Overdue deliveries — past promised date, no status update Every line past its promised date, ranked by production dependency and days overdue

How it works

Supplier risk surfaces in Teams. Approved actions execute in BC.

OpsGrid monitors your Business Central purchasing data continuously. Every open PO, delivery date, and vendor’s on-time history tracked against configurable SLA thresholds.
When a supplier misses a threshold, a ranked card fires in Microsoft Teams to the named Procurement Lead. Revenue at risk shown. Days overdue shown.
Approve the follow-up action in Teams. OpsGrid executes it in BC. Every decision logged to a full audit trail.
Decision Infrastructure

BC already logs the missed date. Nobody owns acting on it.

OpsGrid routes supplier signals to a named owner in Teams, captures their approval, and executes the follow-up in Business Central — with a full audit trail.

The missed delivery date is already in BC the moment it happens. The gap is that it reaches a shared inbox, or nobody, instead of one named Procurement Lead with a response clock running.
