The ACBUY Spreadsheet platform introduces a powerful automation feature designed to transform your quality control process. By instantly highlighting failed inspections, we ensure that quality issues are addressed immediately, protecting your brand's integrity and your bottom line.

The ACBUY Solution: Instant alerts for Immediate Response
The ACBUY Spreadsheet turns your static quality reports into a dynamic action hub. Our system allows you to set up automated triggers that instantly flag any inspection that fails to meet your predefined quality standards.
How It Works: Automating Your QC Alerts in 3 Steps
-
Set Your QC Thresholds
Within your ACBUY Spreadsheet, define your pass/fail criteria for inspections. This could be a specific score (e.g., anything below 80% fails), the presence of a critical defect, or a combination of factors.
-
Configure Alert Rules
Use our simple rule builder to specify what happens upon a failure. For example: "IF Inspection_Result = 'Fail', THEN highlight the row in red AND send an email notification to the Supply Chain Manager."
-
Watch the System Work
As soon as new inspection data is entered or imported into the spreadsheet, the ACBUY automation engine evaluates it against your rules. Failed inspections are instantly highlighted, making them unmissable.
