In the dynamic world of e-commerce procurement, data silos are the enemy of profitability. For teams using EastMallBuy, managing product quality control (QC) and cost analysis in separate systems leads to fragmented insights and missed opportunities. The solution? A powerful, integrated EastMallBuy Spreadsheet
Why Integrate QC and Cost Data?
Traditionally, QC pass/fail rates and supplier cost sheets live in different worlds. This disconnect makes it impossible to answer crucial questions: Is the slightly more expensive Supplier A yielding significantly fewer defects than Supplier B? Are quality issues correlating with specific product categories or shipment batches? By integrating QC results and cost analytics into a single master spreadsheet, you create a unified truth source for evaluating your hauls.
Powering Analysis with Charts and Pivot Tables
The true magic happens when you leverage Excel's visualization and summarization tools on this integrated data.
