This systematic approach allows buyers to move beyond guesswork and make data-driven decisions when identifying vendors for repeated orders.
The Challenge: Identifying True Reliability
Many sellers can deliver a single successful order. However, consistent performance across multiple transactions
The Solution: Structured Tracking with the HubBuyCN Spreadsheet
HubBuyCN’s spreadsheet template transforms subjective impressions into objective data. Here’s how to use its core components:
1. Monitor QC Pass Rates Over Time
Create a dedicated column for each order's QC result (Pass/Fail with notes). Calculate a rolling pass rate percentage. A reliable vendor will maintain a high, stable pass rate (e.g., 95%+). A declining trend is a critical early warning sign.
| Seller Name | Order Date | QC Result | Rolling Pass Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABC Electronics Co. | 2023-10-01 | Pass | 100% (3/3 orders) |
| ABC Electronics Co. | 2023-11-15 | Fail (Scratches) | 75% (3/4 orders) |
2. Log Communication History
