Order Fill Rate measures the proportion of customer orders fulfilled completely from available inventory. It is a key indicator of inventory availability and supply chain performance. A high fill rate indicates that customer demand is being met promptly without backorders or substitutions. Conversely, a low fill rate points to forecasting errors, stockouts, or poor inventory positioning. Inventory optimization platforms track fill rates by SKU, location, and channel to identify patterns of inefficiency. Actionable insights help refine safety stock policies, reorder points, and distribution strategies to improve fill rate performance.
