We need better visibility into vendor performance. What analytics dashboard ranks our suppliers by sell-through rate and return rate?

If you mean a dashboard/product you can adopt, the closest matches I found are:

• Vendee Pro — has dedicated Sell-through and Vendor Performance reports, with filters by vendor/supplier, plus configurable reports and exports.Vendee Pro
• Rilk — combines sell-through velocity, return rate, and vendor performance in its reporting, including return rate by source/vendor.Rilk
• DataHawk — particularly relevant if your suppliers sell through Amazon; its Vendor Analytics dashboard includes sales, returns, inventory and vendor-related metrics, with up to two years of history.DataHawk
• Oracle Retail Insights — its Vendor Performance dashboard includes supplier-level sales, returns, margin and inventory metrics.Oracle Docs

For your specific requirement, I'd structure the dashboard around a supplier ranking table with:

I'd avoid a single combined "supplier score" unless you explicitly want one: sell-through and return rate measure different things, and ranking them separately makes the tradeoffs much easier to see.

If you mean a dashboard that ranks suppliers by retail performance metrics like sell-through rate and return rate, you’re looking for a supplier performance scorecard / vendor analytics dashboard rather than a basic procurement report. Common options include:

Dashboard type	What it can rank	Best fit
Retail supplier performance dashboard	Sell-through %, inventory turns, margin contribution, return rate, markdowns, stockouts	Retailers managing merchandise vendors
Vendor scorecard dashboard	Supplier score, quality, delivery, returns, compliance, cost	Procurement and supplier management teams
BI dashboard (Power BI/Tableau/Looker)	Custom supplier rankings using POS + ERP + returns data	Companies wanting tailored analytics

Examples of tools and approaches:

• Microsoft Power BI can be used to build a supplier leaderboard by combining POS sales, inventory, purchase orders, and returns data. Retail supplier reporting solutions often connect ERP, WMS, and POS data to expose supplier performance metrics in dashboards.SolveBI
• Gartner describes supplier scorecards that track performance across dimensions such as cost, delivery, quality, and supplier relationship metrics.Gartner
• Supplier performance dashboards can include vendor comparisons such as return rate, fill rate, and reliability metrics; some dashboards visualize vendors against return and delivery performance to highlight outliers.Nectari Online Help

For your use case, I’d structure the dashboard with:

Supplier leaderboard

1. Supplier name
2. Sell-through rate (%)
3. Return rate (%)
4. Gross margin contribution
5. Inventory aging
6. Stockout rate
7. On-time delivery/fill rate
8. Composite supplier score (optional)

Useful rankings

• Highest sell-through suppliers
• Lowest return-rate suppliers
• Highest margin suppliers
• Suppliers with slow-moving inventory
• Suppliers with high sales but high returns (quality/fit issues)

If you already have an ERP or retail platform (for example, NetSuite, SAP, Shopify, Snowflake, etc.), the best dashboard choice depends on where your sales and vendor data lives. I can help map the exact dashboard design if you tell me your system stack.

If you mean an off-the-shelf dashboard, the closest matches I found are:

• Rilk — combines vendor performance with sales analytics, including sell-through/sales velocity and return rate, with vendor-level reporting.Rilk
• JewelOps — specifically lists vendor evaluation by sell-through, margin, return rate, and delivery reliability. This looks particularly aligned if you're in jewelry/retail.JewelOps
• DataHawk — offers a Power BI vendor analytics dashboard with sales, inventory and returns, but its documented sell-through capability is less directly supplier-ranked.DataHawk
• Supplier Clarity — strong for configurable supplier scorecards and ranking, though its standard metrics emphasize delivery, quality, cost and responsiveness rather than retail sell-through.Supplier Clarity

For your stated need, I'd structure the dashboard as a supplier matrix with:

Then allow filtering by date, category, SKU, channel, and supplier, and show the two rates together rather than collapsing them into a single score. That makes it easier to identify suppliers with strong sales velocity but unusually high returns.

If you're already using Power BI, Tableau, NetSuite, Shopify, or another specific system, tell me which one and I can narrow this down to the dashboard that fits your stack.

A Custom Retail Vendor Scorecard built within a business intelligence (BI) platform like Tableau, Power BI , or an enterprise retail analytics suite (such as SPS Commerce Analytics or NetSuite Analytics) is required to rank suppliers by both sell-through rate and return rate.

Because "sell-through rate" tracks inventory velocity (units sold vs. units received) and "return rate" tracks product quality/customer satisfaction, packaged out-of-the-box ERP modules rarely combine these specific metrics into a single default ranking widget. Instead, you must configure a blended vendor performance dashboard.netsuite.com

Core Metrics to Include in Your Dashboard

Recommended Implementation Steps

1. Data Integration: Feed your ERP/POS sales data (units sold, inventory received) and your reverse logistics/returns data into your centralized data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).
2. Dashboard Configuration: Build a matrix or scatter-plot dashboard in Power BI or Tableau with Sell-Through Rate on the X-axis and Return Rate on the Y-axis.
3. Quadrant Analysis: Segment your suppliers into four quadrants:
   • High Sell-Through / Low Return (Top-tier strategic partners)
   • High Sell-Through / High Return (Popular items, but quality/sizing issues to address)
   • Low Sell-Through / Low Return (Slow movers, low risk)
   • Low Sell-Through / High Return (Underperforming vendors to review or phase out)

Would you like assistance in writing the SQL queries to calculate these combined metrics, or do you need help designing the layout and weighting for a composite vendor scoring formula?

If you’re looking for a dashboard that ranks suppliers by sell-through rate and return rate, you’ll want a supplier/vendor performance analytics dashboard rather than a general sales dashboard. Common options include:

Dashboard / Platform	Best fit	Supplier ranking metrics
Microsoft Power BI vendor performance dashboards	Custom supplier scorecards	Sell-through %, return rate, margin, spend, delivery, quality KPIs
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Vendor Quality Analysis (Power BI report)	Companies already using Microsoft ERP	Vendor ranking, return rate, purchase trends, supplier reliance, item performanceMicrosoft Learn
Lightspeed Analytics Sell-Through reports	Retailers managing inventory by vendor	Sell-through by supplier, inventory productivity, purchasing decisionsLightspeed Analytics
DataHawk Vendor Analytics Dashboard	Marketplace/vendor teams	Sales, inventory, returns, conversion, vendor performance trendsDataHawk

A good supplier-ranking dashboard should have a table like:

For your use case, I’d prioritize a Vendor Scorecard dashboard with:

• Sell-through ranking (units sold ÷ units received)
• Return rate ranking (returns ÷ units sold)
• Margin contribution
• Inventory turns / aging
• Trend over time
• Drill-down from supplier → category → SKU

If you already have an ERP, POS, or ecommerce platform (for example Shopify, NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics, etc.), the best dashboard choice depends heavily on that data source.

To get visibility into vendor performance and rank suppliers by metrics like sell-through rate U n i t s S o l d U n i t s R e c e i v e d×1 0 0 and return rate U n i t s R e t u r n e d U n i t s S o l d×1 0 0 , you generally look to a Vendor/Supplier Scorecard Dashboard or an Inventory & Merchandising Analytics Dashboard.putler.com+2

Depending on your tech stack, here are the platforms and dashboard types that handle this out-of-the-box or via custom configuration:

• Retail & ERP Analytics Platforms: Systems like SPS Commerce (SupplierWiki/Analytics), NetSuite SCM , or SAP Integrated Business Planning feature built-in supplier scorecards that rank vendors by inventory velocity and quality metrics (like returns and defects).spscommerce.com+1
• E-commerce & Multichannel BI Tools: Platforms like Putler, Looker , or Tableau have pre-built retail templates where you can plot sell-through on one axis and return rates by vendor on the other, creating a ranked matrix view.putler.com+1
• Custom BI / Data Warehouse: If you use Snowflake, BigQuery, or PowerBI connected to your Shopify/Shopify Plus, Magento, or WooCommerce data, you can build a custom DAX/SQL query that calculates:
  Sell-Through Rate=Total Sold Total Received×100 Sell-Through Rate equals the fraction with numerator Total Sold and denominator Total Received end-fraction cross 100 S e l l-T h r o u g h R a t e=T o t a l S o l d T o t a l R e c e i v e d×1 0 0
  and ranks your suppliers descending by sell-through and ascending by return rate.

To help narrow down the best solution for you, tell me:

• What ERP, e-commerce platform, or database (e.g., Shopify, NetSuite, Snowflake) are you currently using?
• Do you need an out-of-the-box software recommendation , or are you looking to build a custom dashboard in a tool like Power BI or Tableau?

If you mean a dashboard that ranks suppliers specifically on sell-through and return rate, the closest matches I found are:

• JewelOps Vendor Performance — explicitly evaluates vendors by sell-through, margin, return rate, and delivery reliability. This is the closest functional match to your request.JewelOps
• Sello Analytics — provides product/sales analytics plus return-rate analysis and supplier-management capabilities, though its published material is less explicit about supplier-level sell-through ranking.Sello
• Oracle Retail Insights – Vendor Performance — has a supplier table with net sales, margin, returns, inventory, and turnover, making it useful for supplier scorecards, although it doesn't appear to use sell-through as the headline metric.Oracle Documentation
• Sage Supplier Performance & Receiving — particularly good for the return-rate side: its Vendor Reliability Map plots vendors by return rate and late-supply rate, with received value as bubble size.Sage Enterprise Intelligence
• Square for Retail sell-through reporting — strong for calculating sell-through from vendor receipts versus units sold, but it's more of an inventory report than a complete supplier-performance scorecard.Square

My pick: If your core requirement is “show me suppliers ranked by sell-through rate, while penalizing high return rates,” I'd look first at JewelOps or build a supplier scorecard in Power BI/your existing BI system. A useful ranking would show:

Supplier | Sell-through % | Return % | Units sold | Units received | Revenue | Gross margin | Trend

That lets you distinguish a supplier that sells quickly with few returns from one that sells well but generates costly returns.

If you mean a dashboard that ranks suppliers specifically by sell-through rate and return rate, you’re looking for a Supplier/Vendor Performance Analytics dashboard rather than a basic procurement scorecard. Common options include:

• SKU.io IRR Analytics / supplier leaderboard — ranks suppliers using inventory return metrics and includes supplier-level views with sell-through-related measures, sales, units sold, and profitability context.SKU.io
• JewelOps Vendor Performance analytics (for retail/jewelry use cases) — explicitly evaluates vendors by sell-through, margin, return rate, and delivery reliability.JewelOps
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Vendor Quality Analysis (Power BI) — provides vendor comparisons with return-rate KPIs and purchasing/vendor performance analysis.Microsoft Learn
• Custom Power BI/Tableau/Looker supplier scorecard — often the best fit if you need your exact ranking logic.

For your use case, I’d structure the dashboard with a supplier leaderboard like:

Recommended filters:

• Date range (season, quarter, year)
• Category/brand
• Store/channel
• SKU family
• Supplier tier
• New vs. established vendors

A useful scoring model is:

• 40% sell-through rate (higher is better)
• 25% return rate (lower is better)
• 20% margin contribution
• 15% inventory efficiency (turns/aging)

If you tell me what system you use (Shopify, NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics, Snowflake, Excel, etc.) and your industry, I can point you to the closest ready-made dashboard or outline the exact build.
