                                               i.     For example, if the agreed Indent vs Placement percentage is 95%, and the service provider has achieved an accuracy of 92%, then the completion status for this SLA can be displayed as 92/95, indicating that the service provider has fulfilled 92% of the agreed target.

 

b.    Similarly, the completion status of the other KPIs such as Delivery Performance, AVG. Vehicle Utilization, and POD percentage can also be displayed in a similar format.

 

The Warehousing and Transportation SLA's section can also provide additional details about the SLA's, such as the agreed targets, timelines, and penalties for non-compliance. This information can help the user to track the service provider's performance and take corrective actions if necessary.
