ItaoBuy: How to Audit Yearly Transactions Using the ItaoBuy Spreadsheet
Conducting an annual review of your transactions on ItaoBuy is a crucial practice for assessing the platform's reliability and making informed purchasing decisions. The ItaoBuy spreadsheet, typically provided upon request or downloadable from your account, is a powerful tool for this audit. By analyzing key performance indicators over a full year, you can move beyond individual experiences and identify long-term trends.
Preparing for Your Annual Audit
Before diving into the data, ensure you have the correct dataset. Export or compile a spreadsheet that contains all your transactions from the past calendar year. This file should include details such as:
- Order Date and Fulfillment Date
- Product Name and SKU
- QC (Quality Control) Status (Pass/Fail)
- Ship Date and Delivery Date
- Refund Request Date and Processing Date
Step 1: Reviewing the Annual QC Pass Rate
The Quality Control pass rate is a primary indicator of the supplier's consistency and product quality. To calculate this annually:
- Count the total number of unique items ordered throughout the year.
- Count the number of items that received a "QC Pass" status before shipping.
- Divide the number of passed items by the total number of items and multiply by 100 to get the annual pass rate percentage.
Step 2: Analyzing Refund Timelines
How quickly ItaoBuy processes refunds is a key metric for customer service efficiency.
- Calculate the Resolution Time:
- Find the Average:
- Identify Outliers:
Step 3: Evaluating Shipping Consistency
Consistent shipping is vital for inventory planning and customer satisfaction. Focus on two main areas:
- Dispatching Consistency:
- Transit Time Consistency:
Consolidating Your Findings
After completing these three analyses, compile your observations into a yearly summary. Ask yourself:
- Did ItaoBuy's performance improve, decline, or remain stable over the year?
- Are there specific months or seasons where performance dips?
- How do the annual metrics compare to my personal expectations or industry standards?
Note: Ensure your data is accurate and complete before starting the audit. Consistently performing this yearly review will build a valuable historical dataset for even deeper insights in the future.
