Streamline Your Multi-Seller Operations with the FishGoo Spreadsheet
Managing orders from multiple suppliers can be a logistical headache. FishGoo
Step 1: Create Your Master File
Start by creating a new spreadsheet. Set up the following core columns:
- Order ID / PO Number
- Seller Name & Contact
- Product Description & SKU
- Unit Cost & Total Cost
- Payment Status
- QC Status & Image Link
- Shipping Method & Tracking #
- Delivery ETA & Status
This becomes your single source of truth for all orders in flight.
Step 2: Consolidate Orders & Track Costs
As you place orders with different sellers, input all data into this one file. Consolidation is key.
- Log each item and its cost immediately after purchase.
- Use formulas to automatically calculate totals, fees, and per-unit costs.
- Apply color-coding or filters for different sellers, product lines, or order dates for quick visual reference.
This gives you a real-time overview of your total procurement spend.
Step 3: Integrate QC Images & Quality Control
Never lose a product image again.
- Create a column dedicated to "QC Image Link."
- Use cloud storage (like Google Drive) to upload images from your supplier.
- Insert hyperlinks directly into the spreadsheet cells. One click allows you to view pre-shipment samples, packaging, or inspection reports.
- Update the adjacent "QC Status"
This keeps visual documentation tied directly to the order record.
Step 4: Monitor Shipping & Logistics Progress
Track the journey of every package from warehouse to doorstep.
- Input the carrier and tracking number as soon as it's provided.
- Use a dropdown menu for "Shipping Status"
- Set conditional formatting so that cells change color when status updates (e.g., turn green upon "Delivered").
- Note any logistical issues in a dedicated "Comments"
This visibility prevents lost shipments and manages customer or warehouse expectations.
