Streamline your sourcing workflow and gain real-time visibility into your supply chain.
For importers and global buyers, managing the intricate details of multiple orders—from payments and quality checks to shipping updates—can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. Disconnected emails, scattered files, and manual tracking often lead to missed deadlines and costly oversights. This is where the OrientDig Spreadsheet
The Core Challenge: Manual Tracking is Broken
Traditional order management often relies on:
- Static Spreadsheets:
- Fragmented Communication:
- Low Visibility:
- Fragmented Communication:
The OrientDig Spreadsheet is engineered to solve these exact problems.
How It Works: Automation in Action
Think of the OrientDig Spreadsheet as your intelligent command center. It goes beyond a simple Excel file by integrating automation and collaboration directly into a familiar spreadsheet interface.
1. Centralized & Live Data Tracking
All order details—supplier info, product specs, quantities, agreed prices, and terms—are structured in a master sheet. Key status fields are automatically updated or can be linked to triggers, ensuring everyone works from the single source of truth.
2. Automated Payment Milestone Tracking
Configure columns for deposit, balance payment, and other milestones. Integrate with calendar alerts or use conditional formatting to highlight upcoming or overdue payments automatically. Never miss a payment deadline or delay a production schedule again.
3. Streamlined QC (Quality Control) Approval Workflow
Dedicated sections for QC status, report links, and approval dates. Use dropdown menus with statuses (e.g., "Pending," "Passed," "Failed - Rework") that, when changed, can automatically notify relevant team members or update dependent timelines.
4. Real-Time Delivery Progress Monitoring
Track production completion, shipping dates, freight details, and estimated arrival. By integrating tracking numbers or using simple API connections (where applicable), you can pull in live shipping updates, turning your spreadsheet into a dynamic logistics tracker.
Practical Application: From Chaos to Clarity
Imagine managing 30 active orders from 10 different suppliers. With the OrientDig Spreadsheet:
- You open one file
- The "Payment Due" column has a red flag for two orders, prompting immediate action.
- The QC column shows "Report Received - Approved" for five orders, with the inspection documents linked directly in the cell.
- The "Shipping" tab automatically reflects updated ETAs from your freight forwarder.
This consolidated, automated view saves hours per week and significantly reduces operational risk.
