Purchasing from multiple sellers across different platforms can quickly become chaotic. The OrientDig Spreadsheet is designed to bring order to this complexity, providing a single source of truth for all your transactions. This guide will walk you through effectively using the spreadsheet to track critical information and ensure a smooth logistics flow.
The Core Tracking Framework
At its heart, the OrientDig Spreadsheet uses a simple but powerful structure to capture the essential data points for every order you place. Consistent use of this framework is key to maintaining clarity.

Step-by-Step Management Guide
Step 1: Record Seller Information
Upon placing an order, immediately create a new row in the OrientDig Spreadsheet. Accurately enter the Seller Name / Store. Include the platform (e.g., "AliExpress - Shop123") for easy reference. This is your primary point of contact for order inquiries.
Step 2: Log QC Notes & Updates
The QC Notes
This creates a vital audit trail for quality control.
Step 3: Input Estimated Arrival Times
Enter the Estimated Arrival Time
Step 4: Centralize for Consolidation
Once multiple orders from different sellers arrive at your designated warehouse, your OrientDig Spreadsheet provides the consolidated list. You can now easily:
- Generate a master packing list for your forwarder.
- Verify that all QC-approved items are present.
- Make informed decisions about splitting or combining final shipment based on actual arrival dates.
