CNFANS: How to Track Batch Orders Across Multiple Warehouses Intuitively
Managing batch orders across multiple warehouses can become overwhelmingly complex — until now. The CNFANS Spreadsheet offers a robust, centralized solution to track, monitor, and manage every aspect of your order fulfillment process at a glance.
The Challenge of Multi-Warehouse Batch Order Management
When working with numerous suppliers, manufacturing partners, and logistics providers, information about:
- Incoming batch orders
- Quality Control (QC) checks
- Scattered storage locations
- Disparate delivery timelines
...often ends up fragmented across emails, spreadsheets, and messages. This fragmentation inevitably causes delays, increases the risk of errors, and makes it nearly impossible to have real-time oversight.
The CNFANS Centralized Spreadsheet Solution
A single source of truth for your entire supply chain.
1. Holistic Batch & Parcel Overview
Start by entering all your incoming batch orders into the master CNFANS sheet. Our structured template allows you to assign unique identifiers to each batch and parcel, linking them directly to their source supplier and original order details.
2. Integrated Quality Control (QC) Status Column
No more switching between apps. Update and monitor the QC status of every single item directly within the spreadsheet. Use customizable status labels like:
- Pending Inspection
- QC Passed
- QC Failed - Rework
- Awaiting Reshipment
Instantly filter and view all items that require your attention.
3. Multi-Warehouse Storage Location Log
As soon as a batch is received and inspected, log its exact storage location. Use columns to specify:
- Warehouse Facility:
- Aisle/Shelf/Bin:
- Date In / Date Out:
- Aisle/Shelf/Bin:
Eliminate time wasted searching for misplaced inventory across different storage sites.
4. Unified Delivery Timeline Tracking
The CNFANS spreadsheet consolidates the complete shipment journey:
- ETD (Estimated Time of Departure)
- ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)
- Carrier & Tracking Number
- ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)
Color-code rows based on timeline adherence — green for on-time, yellow for at-risk, red for delayed — to maintain perfect logistical control.
