The Control State Scorecard is a system created to monitor, analyze, communicate, and control the inbound logistics from Vendors to the Control State where they operate.
This tool:
- Captures the instances of deliveries from inbound logistics and communicates the results to external vendors.
- Communicates the financial impacts of those delivery instances from vendors to drive better performance (emails, vendor logins, contact pages, graphs, and unified score-carding).
- Allows state agencies to configure the delivery instance by entering custom delivery instance questions, custom groupings (small, medium, large), fiscal years, contact information, vendor information, customizable fees, and fee update tracking for accounting departments.
- Gives vendors visibility on the state of existing submitted deliveries, a clear way to measure their performance, and act on data driven decisions to help improve their performance across states.
If you have questions, comments, or feedback, please contact the technical support team via email at: ABDPortalHelp@iowa.gov
Registering for access to the Control State Scorecard
The scorecard uses Google or Microsoft accounts for easy authentication.
If your company email is served through Outlook or Office365, your email should already be tied to a Microsoft account. You will select the 'Microsoft' option for authenticating.
Using your business email with a Google account
If your business email is not tied to Microsoft, you can associate it with a Google account. The instructions below will show you how. You do not need a Gmail account for this. If possible, we recommend using your business email, rather than a personal or new Gmail account for registration.
Visit https://accounts.google.com to see if you are logged into a Google account. If you are, and this not tied to your business email or used for business purposes, sign out by clicking on the circle icon in the upper right display and choosing "Sign out". Otherwise this account will be used for registration at the scorecard site.

Quick Tips
Sending fee notifications to multiple people
Vendors receive automated emails when they have fees attached to an inspection that has been submitted. The scorecard only allows one email address for notifications. To send this notification to multiple people, set up an email distribution list inside your organization, then contact the technical support team via email at: ABDPortalHelp@iowa.gov and let them know the new email address to send notifications to.
