Effective order management on platforms like HubBuyCN
When sourcing multiple products, information often becomes scattered: A centralized HubBuyCN spreadsheet
Create a spreadsheet with the following core columns to form your tracking foundation: Format both purchase links and QC image links as clickable hyperlinks. This turns your spreadsheet into an active dashboard. Create a dedicated folder (e.g., "HubBuyCN QC - [Date]"). Organize images by Order ID, upload them, and copy the link directly into your spreadsheet. Use dropdown lists for columns like "Inspection Status" to ensure consistency. Keep header rows frozen and enable filters to quickly sort by status or find a specific Order ID. Share the spreadsheet (with appropriate viewing permissions) with team members or clients to provide direct visibility into the QC and order process. Instantly cross-reference the physical product (QC photo) with its intended purchase details, minimizing errors. Creates an auditable trail from product discovery to quality inspection for all stakeholders. Drastically reduces time spent searching for information, streamlining communication and decision-making. Clear logging of QC notes and linked images ensures issues are tracked and resolved systematically. A well-maintained HubBuyCN spreadsheetlogs inspection images, purchase links, and product codes
