In the fast-paced world of e-commerce and fulfillment, data silos between Quality Control (QC) and Shipping departments create delays, errors, and visibility gaps. The OrientDig Spreadsheet
Typically, data resides in separate systems: Manually cross-referencing these sources is time-consuming and prone to error, leading to questions like: "Was order #1005 approved? What's the tracking for the replacement item?" The OrientDig Spreadsheet uses smart formulas, data import automation, and a centralized layout to merge these critical datasets. Create three core sheets within your main OrientDig workbook: Create a fourth, master dashboard sheet. Use the following formulas to pull and connect data seamlessly: These functions dynamically search for the Order ID in each source sheet and return the corresponding information, handling missing data gracefully. Structure your master sheet to provide instant insights: Apply conditional formatting
