About this tool

How the selection scorecard works

The flow above builds a weighted vendor-selection scorecard one question at a time: the systems you are evaluating, your industry and size, your ranked priorities, your must-have capabilities, and your deal-breakers. Criteria come from a database of 4,104 real RFP requirements; every must-have you pick is guaranteed a line, and each criterion carries the question to ask in a scripted demo. The scorecard computes instantly in your browser — nothing is submitted anywhere.

Your priority ranking sets the category weights directly: rank one carries 25%, rank two 20%, descending to 4%. Vendors are scored on eight dimensions and screened against your deal-breakers — a vendor that fails one ranks below every vendor that passes, whatever its score. Every adjustment the model makes is disclosed on the vendor card.

Frequently asked questions

How does the selection scorecard rank vendors?

Vendors are scored 0–100 as a weighted sum of eight evaluation dimensions — functionality, integration, total cost of ownership, vendor stability, implementation, scalability, user experience, and industry fit. You rank the dimensions by dragging; rank one carries a 25% weight, rank two 20%, descending to 4%. Disclosed adjustments then apply: +4 for a strong track record in your industry, −6 when a vendor typically serves a different company-size segment, −5 for a limited footprint in your region, and −15 per failed deal-breaker. A vendor that fails any deal-breaker ranks below every vendor that passes, regardless of score.

Where do the evaluation criteria come from?

Criteria are drawn from a database of 4,104 real RFP requirements across WMS, TMS, OMS, MES, planning, yard, and point-of-sale selections, filtered to your systems, industry, and stated must-haves. Every must-have capability you select is guaranteed a line on the scorecard, and each criterion carries the question to put to vendors in a scripted demo.

Are the vendor ratings pay-to-play?

No. Supply Chain Research accepts no vendor compensation for placement or ratings. Ratings are directional, based on public analyst research, reference calls, and market experience, last reviewed August 2026 — and the tool discloses every scoring adjustment it makes.

What do I get at the end?

A weighted evaluation scorecard: your criteria grouped under your ranked priorities, a demo question for each, your deal-breakers, and a ranked vendor shortlist screened against them — viewable on the page, downloadable as JSON, and printable. Free, no signup, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.

Which vendors does the tool cover?

Thirty-nine vendors across six software categories, including Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, Körber, SAP, Oracle, Infor, Tecsys, and Made4net in WMS; Oracle OTM, Blue Yonder, Manhattan, e2open, MercuryGate, and Uber Freight in TMS; Kinaxis, o9 Solutions, RELEX, Logility, ToolsGroup, and Manhattan Active Supply Chain Planning in planning; and comparable rosters for order management, manufacturing execution, and yard management.

Vendor ratings are directional — a shortlisting aid, not a substitute for scripted demos and reference calls. The implementation guides behind each vendor assessment remain part of SCR's research service; the judgement above is published so buyers can start from an independent baseline.
