BaseTao Spreadsheet: Your Guide to Smarter Spending and QC Analysis

2026-01-10

Transform your purchase history into actionable insights for better planning and more successful hauls.

For savvy agents and haul builders, meticulous record-keeping isn't just a habit—it's a superpower. Moving beyond the basic BaseTao interface, many seasoned users turn to a powerful, self-maintained tool: The BaseTao Spreadsheet. This personalized database allows you to analyze spending trends, vet seller reliability, and calculate QC success rates, turning past purchases into a roadmap for future success.

Why Maintain a BaseTao Spreadsheet?

While agent websites track orders, a custom spreadsheet lets you connect the dots. It answers critical questions:

  • Which months do I typically spend the most?
  • Which sellers consistently deliver high-quality items?
  • What is my historical QC (Quality Check) pass rate for different product categories?

By centralizing this data, you move from reactive buying to strategic, data-driven planning.

Essential Columns for Your Analysis

Structure your spreadsheet with these key data points for maximum insight:

Column Header Purpose & Analysis Value

Seller Name/Store Identify reliable and problematic sellers through repeat purchases.
Item Category Segment your spending and QC analysis by type of item.
