📊 Key Metrics to Track for Drywall and Wall Panel Products

Drywall and wall panels are high-volume, quick-turn products that need tight control. Tracking the right KPIs in your ERP ensures you stay efficient, competitive, and compliant.

• Inventory Turnover Rate

Know how quickly you’re cycling through drywall—monthly, quarterly, or per project type.

• Order Accuracy %

Measure how often customers receive exactly what they ordered, down to size and thickness.

• On-Time Delivery Rate

Late drywall means halted jobs. Track OTDR by warehouse, driver, and product type.

• Return Rate

High return rate? You may have sizing errors, delivery damage, or incorrect SKU mapping.

• Breakage & Damage Ratio

Monitor damage during storage or transport. Damage equals shrinkage and lost profit.

• Stock Aging

Track how long each SKU stays in storage. Aging panels can warp or degrade, especially in humid conditions.

• Fulfillment Speed

Time from order to ready-for-pickup or delivery. Ideal for big box clients and contractors.

• Labor Cost per Pick

Know how many labor hours it takes to pick and prep drywall—especially bulky loads.

• Freight Cost per Load

Calculate freight costs as a percentage of product value—crucial for low-margin materials.

• Backorder Rate

A key metric—shows how often customers wait on panels or drywall sheets due to demand planning issues.
