Track Multiple Parcels Simultaneously and Consolidate for Maximum Cost Efficiency
For e-commerce sellers, logistics managers, and frequent shippers, handling multiple orders simultaneously can quickly become a logistical headache. Juggling different carriers, tracking numbers, and costs is time-consuming and often leads to wasted spending. Enter the RizzitGo Spreadsheet—a powerful, systematic approach designed to streamline this process, bringing clarity, control, and significant savings to your shipping workflow.
How to Use the RizzitGo Spreadsheet: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Template Setup & Order Logging
Begin with the pre-formatted RizzitGo spreadsheet. Create a master list of all pending orders. For each entry, log essential details:
| Order ID |
Destination |
Parcel Dimensions (LxWxH) |
Weight |
Order Value |
Status |
| #ORD-1001 |
Los Angeles, USA |
10x8x4 in |
2.5 lbs |
$89.99 |
Warehouse |
Step 2: Carrier Comparison & Cost Column
Add columns for different carrier options (e.g., Carrier A, Carrier B, RizzitGo Consolidation). Use built-in formulas or links to carrier rate calculators to input the estimated cost for shipping each parcel individually. This creates a clear cost baseline.
Step 3: Grouping for Consolidation
This is the heart of cost efficiency. Sort orders by destination region, postal code, or shipping deadline. Identify parcels that can be grouped together. Create a new "Consolidated Shipment" section in your sheet. Clearly label each group (e.g., "US-West-Coast-Batch-05").
Step 4: Consolidated Shipment Tracking
Once grouped and shipped as one master shipment, record the master tracking number, total combined weight/dimensions, and the consolidated cost. Then, link individual order IDs to this master tracking number. The spreadsheet allows you to see both the big picture (the master shipment) and the granular detail (each customer's parcel within it).
Step 5: Real-Time Status & KPIs
Use color-coding or status dropdowns (e.g., "Warehouse," "Consolidated," "In Transit," "Delivered") for instant visual management. Implement key performance indicator (KPI) cells that automatically calculate:
- Total Cost Saved:
- Average Cost Per Parcel:
- On-Time Delivery Rate:
