For e-commerce sellers managing multiple stores or marketplaces, consolidating and understanding sales data is the key to strategic growth. The KAKOBUY SpreadsheetPivot Tables, you can transform fragmented data from different sellers into clear, actionable insights, helping you identify trends and optimize future inventory orders.
The Challenge: Dispersed Data Across Platforms
When sales data is spread across Amazon, Shopify, eBay, and other channels in separate sheets, it's nearly impossible to see the bigger picture. Which product is your best-seller overall? Which store has the highest profitability for a specific category? Answering these questions manually is time-consuming and error-prone.
The Solution: Centralize and Analyze with Pivot Tables
A Pivot Table is an interactive tool that summarizes, analyzes, explores, and presents summary data from large datasets. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using it within the KAKOBUY ecosystem for multi-store analysis.
Step 1: Aggregate Your Data
First, ensure all your sales data from different sellers or storefronts is compiled into one master sheet in your KAKOBUY Spreadsheet. Key columns should include:
- Store/Seller Name:
- Product SKU/ID:
- Product Category:
- Date of Sale:
- Units Sold:
- Revenue:
- Profit Margin:
Step 2: Create Your Pivot Table
Highlight your data range and insert a new Pivot Table. The KAKOBUY Spreadsheet, compatible with major spreadsheet software, makes this a one-click operation.
