Guide to Fulfillment Analytics Page

Summary

What is the purpose of the Fulfillment Analytics page in TikTok Shop Seller Center and what key data does it provide?

  • It offers an overview of your shop’s fulfillment efficiency, showing average fulfillment time, six key fulfillment performance metrics, and comparisons to platform averages and industry standards.
  • This helps sellers monitor order processing speed and identify fulfillment issues impacting customer experience and shop health.

Which specific fulfillment performance metrics are tracked, and why are some particularly important for shop health?

  • Metrics include On-time Delivery Rate (OTDR), Late Dispatch Rate (LDR), Valid Tracking Rate (VTR), Seller Fault Cancellation Rate (SFCR), Unshipped Order Rate, and Out-of-stock Cancellation Rate.
  • OTDR and SFCR directly affect your Shop Performance Score and Account Health Rating, making them critical to monitor and improve.

How can sellers use the Analytics page features to identify and address fulfillment issues?

  • Clicking on metric cards reveals detailed order issues by SKU, enabling targeted problem resolution.
  • Trend charts compare your performance against industry standards, helping track improvements or declines over time.

What actionable strategies does TikTok Shop recommend to improve fulfillment performance?

  • Dispatch orders on time by prioritizing urgent orders nearing or past dispatch deadlines.
  • Consider extending your fulfillment SLA based on recent delivery data to better manage order volume.
  • Activate Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT) to outsource storage, packing, and delivery, which also excludes those orders from your fulfillment metrics.
  • Manage stock accurately using the Inventory Health Indicator to prevent cancellations and delays.

How frequently do fulfillment metrics update, and how should sellers use this information?

  • OTDR, LDR, VTR, and SFCR update weekly on Mondays; Unshipped Order Rate and Out-of-stock Cancellation Rate update daily.
  • Sellers should regularly review these updates to promptly address issues and maintain strong fulfillment performance.
Your fulfillment performance is a key component of your shop's overall health. It not only impacts customer experience and shapes the perceived trustworthiness of your shop, but it also impacts your shop's Account Health Rating and Shop Performance Score (SPS).
We've built the Analytics page in Seller Center to help provide an easy-to-read overview of your fulfillment efficiency and performance. On this page you can view:
  • Average fulfillment timeliness (from order creation to delivery)
  • TikTok Shop fulfillment performance assessment metrics
In addition, you can see how your performance compares with the platform's average performance and industry standards within a shop's dominant category.

It has 3 main sections:
  • Average fulfillment time
  • Fulfillment performance metrics
  • How to improve fulfillment performance
Below is a breakdown of each section and the information it displays.

Average Fulfillment Time

AverageSummary.jpegNOTE: Fulfillment time is measured in hours.The first section is called, Average fulfillment time. This section displays your average fulfillment processing time during a 7-day period (you can also adjust the time period to 28 days using the time picker).
You can use this section to get a bigger picture of how efficient your fulfillment processes currently are. You can compare your performance to industry standards or do a period-over-period comparison.

What do the green and red colors mean?

The Average fulfillment time not only displays performance metrics from the last 7 days (or 28 days), it also compares those metrics to the preceding 7-day periond (or 28-day period).
Green = Your fulfillment efficiency improved by X hours
Red = Your fulfillment efficiency dropped by X hours
To toggle between 7 days and 28 days, you can use the time picker dropdown next to Date.DatePicker.png
NOTE: The time picker feature only applies to the Average fulfillment time module. It does not adjust the Fulfillment performance metrics section.

Fulfillment Performance Metrics

The second section on the Analytics page is the Fulfillment performance metrics module. This section provides overviews of the six key metrics that TikTok Shop uses to assess a shop's overall fulfillment performance.

NOTE: If you ever need a refresher on what any of these metrics are, you can use the "?" next to the metric name to see a detailed definition.OTDR and SFCR are also part of the Shop Performance Score (SPS) and Account Health Rating assessment. That's why it's so important to continuously monitor your fulfillment performance metrics and strategize around new ways to improve efficiency.

Metric Cards Overview

Orders with issues

By clicking on View Details on a specific metric card, you can see an Orders with issues summary.
On this page, you will see a list of product SKUs* that have issues that have impacted your overall performance rate. Using this page, you can track fulfillment issues and proactively work to correct them.
*The unique, alphanumeric code that retailers use to identify and track individual products within their inventory.Issue.jpg

Metric trend chart

By clicking on a specific metric card, the trend chart will update to show the selected metric within the designated time period. This feature provides a visual of performance trends, so that you can see how your fulfillment performance is trending.
On the trend chart, there will be two lines.
  • The solid teal line will indicate your performance trend for that specific metric.
  • The dotted gray line indicates the industry standard performance for the primary product category of your shop.

How to Improve Fulfillment Performance

The final section is dedicated to providing helpful information and tips for improving your overall fulfillment performance.
TipsToImprove.jpegEach improvement card offers actionable suggestions for how you can improve your fulfillment efficiency.
  • Dispatch orders on time: Highlights orders that require urgent action.
    • Orders that will exceed the dispatch SLA within 24 hours
    • Orders that have already exceeded the dispatch SLA
    • Orders that will be cancelled within 24 hours due to late dispatch
  • Extend your fulfillment SLA: Shows your on-time and late delivery data from the past 30 days and suggests a reasonable daily order handling capacity — which also enables the Fulfillment Deadline Extension (also referred to as the Dispatch SLA Extension).
  • Activate Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT): FBT is a service that takes care of storage, packing, and delivery, so you can focus on sales. FBT orders are not counted towards fulfillment performance metrics.
  • Manage stock accurately: Review your Manage your stock page and make sure your set inventory levels are based on actual stock or expected restocks. This helps avoid cancellations or shipping delays and maintain a good performance record. This page also has Inventory Health Indicator (IHI), which is a feature that can help you optimize your inventory management strategy.
