OrientDig: How to Use the OrientDig Spreadsheet for Seller Reliability Analysis
Finding reliable suppliers is crucial for maintaining product quality and business reputation. The OrientDig Spreadsheet provides powerful tools to help you track and compare Quality Control (QC) pass rates across different sellers. This guide will walk you through using the platform's filtering capabilities to identify your most consistent sourcing partners.
Step-by-Step Process for Seller Analysis
Step 1: Access Your Supplier Data
Log into your OrientDig dashboard and navigate to the Supplier Performance
- Seller names and IDs
- QC inspection dates
- Pass/fail status for each inspection
- Defect categories (if applicable)
- Product types inspected
Step 2: Apply Seller Filters
Use the spreadsheet's Seller Filter
- Click the Filter
- Select individual sellers or groups for comparison
- Apply multiple seller selections to create side-by-side comparisons
Step 3: Analyze QC Pass Rates
Once filtered, the spreadsheet automatically calculates current and historical pass rates:
- View real-time pass rate percentages for selected sellers
- Observe trends through color-coded performance indicators
- Identify seasonal variations or consistency patterns
Step 4: Compare Multiple Suppliers
Use the Comparison View
- Select 2-5 sellers using the multi-select filter
- Enable the Comparison Mode
- Review side-by-side pass rate statistics and performance trends
Pro Tips for Effective Analysis
Time-Based Filtering
Combine seller filters with date range restrictions to analyze:
- Recent Performance: Last 30-90 days for current reliability
- Quarterly Trends: Identify improving or declining suppliers
- Year-over-Year: Assess long-term consistency
Product Category Segmentation
A seller might excel in one product category while struggling in another. Use the product type filter in conjunction with seller selection for granular analysis.
Set Performance Benchmarks
Establish minimum acceptable pass rates (e.g., 95% for critical components) and use conditional formatting to highlight sellers falling below your standards.
Key Benefits of Systematic Seller Analysis
Data-Driven Sourcing Decisions
Move beyond subjective assessments to objective, quantifiable supplier evaluations.
Quality Consistency
Identify suppliers who deliver consistent quality over time, reducing inspection costs.
Risk Mitigation
Spot declining performance early and diversify your supplier base before quality issues affect your customers.
Negotiation leverage
Use performance data to negotiate better terms with underperforming suppliers or reward high-performing partners.
The OrientDig Spreadsheet transforms raw QC data into actionable supplier intelligence. By regularly tracking and comparing seller QC pass rates, you can build a more reliable, high-performing supply chain that supports your business growth and quality standards.
