Order Fulfilment Rate

Definition

The percentage of customer orders successfully shipped and delivered on time and in full, a key measure of operational reliability.

Why it matters

A low fulfilment rate leads to refunds, bad reviews, and lost repeat customers. Consistently fulfilling orders builds trust and drives repeat purchase rates.

Example

A business fulfils 985 of 1,000 orders on time and in full, an order fulfilment rate of 98.5%.
