LitBuy: How to Track QC Progress and Shipping Stages Using the LitBuy Spreadsheet
Managing international shipments requires meticulous organization and real-time visibility. The LitBuy Spreadsheet provides a centralized system to maintain complete transparency from warehouse preparation to final delivery. By properly utilizing this tool, you can eliminate confusion and ensure every stakeholder stays informed.
Setting Up Your LitBuy Spreadsheet
Begin by creating dedicated columns for each critical data point:
- Product/SKU ID
- QC Completion Date
- Parcel Weight
- Courier & Tracking Number
- Shipping Stage
- QC Completion Date
Recording Quality Control Progress
Immediately upon QC completion, update the inspection date in your spreadsheet. This creates an audit trail and helps identify bottlenecks in the preparation process. Color-coding cells (green for passed, amber for issues) provides visual status indicators at a glance.
Tracking Shipping Stages Effectively
As parcels move through the shipping pipeline, consistently update:
- Warehouse Processing
- Courier Collection
- In Transit Updates
- Customs Clearance
- Final Delivery
- Courier Collection
