Trading Partner Compliance Benchmark Report (2026)
Most organizations treat supplier compliance as a capability problem and respond with penalties, chargebacks, and deductions aimed at the suppliers who fall short. The data from 4,000+ buying organizations points somewhere else: the root cause is engagement, not capability, and the fix doesn't start where most teams are focused today. This report benchmarks trading partner performance across retail, grocery, and distribution, showing what the compliance gap actually costs, why suppliers disengage, and how the highest-performing networks turn enforcement into partnership.
