VyaparSethu's Trade Confidence Score™ is computed for every buyer and supplier on the platform — daily at 2 AM IST. It's the single number that answers: "Can I trust this trading partner?"
The formula:
| Component | Weight | What it measures | |-----------|--------|-----------------| | Payment History | 30% | How consistently payments are made on time | | On-time Delivery | 20% | Percentage of orders delivered by committed date | | Response Speed | 15% | How fast quotes and messages are replied to | | Repeat Orders | 15% | Whether buyers come back, whether suppliers retain buyers | | Dispute Rate | 10% | Percentage of transactions that resulted in disputes | | Verification Strength | 10% | Udyam, GST, bank, address — all verified = higher score |

Post your Requirement free — verified suppliers respond with competitive quotes within 24 hours. Every deal is covered by Protected Payment (escrow).
Score bands: - 85–100: Excellent — can extend 30-day credit safely - 70–84: Good — standard terms appropriate - 50–69: Caution — start with Protected Payment - Below 50: High risk — investigate before transacting
How to improve your score: 1. Complete GST and Udyam verification (immediate +10 points on verification strength) 2. Reply to Quotation requests within 4 hours (improves Response Speed weekly) 3. Deliver on committed dates — even one late delivery drops On-time Delivery for 90 days 4. Resolve disputes through Business Conversations before they escalate — disputes stay on record for 180 days
Why it's computed daily, not real-time: Real-time score updates can be gamed (e.g., mass-replying to queries to spike response speed). Daily computation at 2 AM IST uses a rolling 90-day window — meaningful patterns, not noise.
