VigorBuy Seller Dashboard: How to Create Reliability Charts
Visualize QC Success Rates and Delivery Accuracy with Easy-to-Read Graphs and Analytics
In the competitive world of e-commerce, data-driven decisions are key to successful sourcing. For users of the VigorBuy Sourcing Spreadsheet, transforming raw supplier data into clear, actionable insights is crucial. This guide will walk you through creating Seller Reliability Charts
Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Charts
Step 1: Structure Your Data Table
Ensure your VigorBuy spreadsheet has a dedicated Seller Performance
- Seller Name/ID:
- Total Orders:
- QC Passed Orders:
- On-Time Deliveries:
- Calculated QC Success Rate:=(QC Passed Orders / Total Orders) * 100.
- Calculated Delivery Accuracy:=(On-Time Deliveries / Total Orders) * 100.
Step 2: Calculate Key Metrics
In the columns for QC Success RateDelivery Accuracy, use spreadsheet formulas to calculate percentages. For example, for seller in row 2:
=IFERROR((C2/B2)*100, 0) // QC Success Rate =IFERROR((D2/B2)*100, 0) // Delivery Accuracy
The IFERROR
Step 3: Create a Composite Reliability Score (Optional)
For a holistic view, add a "Reliability Score"
=(E2*0.6)+(F2*0.4) // Assuming 60% weight to QC, 40% to Delivery
Sort sellers by this score to instantly see top performers.
Step 4: Insert and Format Charts
Highlight your data table (including seller names and the two percentage columns). Navigate to Insert Chart

Turning Visualization into Actionable Analytics
Your charts are not just pictures; they are analytical tools. Use them to:
Identify Top & Bottom Performers
Visually group sellers into tiers (A, B, C) based on their chart position. Prioritize orders with high-tier sellers and create improvement plans for those lagging.
Spot Correlation
Does a high QC rate correlate with high on-time delivery? Your dual-axis chart can reveal this positive relationship, indicating overall professional sellers.
Track Progress Over Time
Update the spreadsheet monthly and refresh the chart. A line chart will show if a seller's reliability is improving or degrading, informing future contract decisions.
Negotiate with Data
Use concrete charts in meetings with underperforming sellers as objective evidence to discuss penalties, demand improvements, or renegotiate terms.
