The Automated Sync Workflow
The KAKOBUY Spreadsheet acts as a central hub, connecting key stages of your inventory lifecycle. Here’s the step-by-step automation process:
Step 1: Sync Received Items
As soon as shipments arrive at your warehouse, the data is logged into the KAKOBUY Spreadsheet—either via direct integration with shipping manifests or barcode scans. This instantly updates your "Inbound Receiving""Received, Pending QC."
Step 2: Automate QC Result Integration
Once quality control is completed, QC personnel input the results (Pass/Fail, notes, condition codes) into the spreadsheet. The system automatically:
- Moves passed items to the "Available Stock"
- Flags failed items and routes them to a "Quarantine or RMA"
- Updates item status and location in real time.
- Flags failed items and routes them to a "Quarantine or RMA"
Step 3: Real-Time Warehouse Stock Level Updates
This is the core of automation. The KAKOBUY Spreadsheet is linked to your warehouse management system or listing channels. Any change—from QC pass to a sale or stock adjustment—triggers an immediate update. Your master stock levels are always current, preventing overselling and optimizing replenishment.
Step 4: Centralized Dashboard View
All synchronized data populates a live dashboard within the spreadsheet. Get a single-pane view of key metrics: total available units, items in QC, pending receipts, and low-stock alerts—all updating automatically.
