What order accuracy rate is
Order accuracy rate measures how many orders pass through the whole flow with no error - wrong product, wrong quantity, wrong price, wrong address. It is a key driver of perfect order rate.
Why it matters to the board
An order error costs several times its value: rework, double transport, return, dispute, chargeback and an unhappy customer. At high volume, even 3-4% errors mean tens of thousands lost yearly.
Where errors arise
- Manual entry from email/phone/fax
- Re-keying between non-integrated systems
- Manually applied prices and discounts
- Wrong picking in the warehouse
