Step-by-Step Data Integration Process

1. Establishing Data Connections

Connect your KAKOBUY warehouse management system to your spreadsheet through our API integration or through secure file transfer protocols. This enables automatic data synchronization between systems.

// Sample API endpoint structure
POST https://api.kakobuy.com/v1/warehouse/data
Content-Type: application/json
{"storage_metrics": ["inventory_duration", "warehouse_fees", "qc_status"]}

2. Configuring Data Mapping

Map warehouse data fields to corresponding spreadsheet columns to ensure accurate data representation. Define which warehouse metrics should populate specific cells in your KAKOBUY spreadsheet.

  • Inventory Duration:
  • Warehouse Fees:
  • QC Status:

Key Metrics to Track
