Staying organized is key to a successful purchasing journey. This guide will show you how to leverage the Sugargoo Spreadsheet to record detailed Quality Control (QC) comments and long-term supplier evaluations, keeping all your crucial notes in one, easily accessible place.
Why Track QC and Feedback Systematically?
Without a system, your notes on product quality, sizing, and seller communication can get lost. A structured spreadsheet helps you:
- Make informed repurchase decisions
- Identify consistently reliable (or problematic) suppliers
- Remember specific flaws or highlights
- Share precise, data-driven feedback
- Identify consistently reliable (or problematic) suppliers
Step-by-Step: Adding Custom Tracking Columns
Transform your standard order tracker into a powerful personal database. Here’s how:
Step 1: Access Your Sugargoo Spreadsheet
Navigate to the spreadsheet or order list where you track your purchased items. This is your base for customization.
Step 2: Create a "Personal QC Remarks" Column
Add a new column right after the standard QC photos. Use this space for subjective and specific notes
Step 3: Create a "Supplier Evaluation" Column
Add another column for long-term seller assessment. This goes beyond a single item. Use a simple rating or note system:
- Rating (A-F or 1-5):
- Key Terms:
- Date & Item Reference:
- Key Terms:
Step 4: Regular Review and Update
Make it a habit to fill in these columns as soon as you receive your QC photos and again when you get the item in hand. Revisit your supplier evaluations before making new purchases from the same seller.
Pro Tips for Effective Tracking
Use Consistent Keywords
Keywords like "sizing", "stitching", "color" make your spreadsheet searchable later.
Link to QC Photos
Hyperlink your text comments (e.g., "glue stain") directly to the specific QC image for instant reference.
Color-Code Cells
Use cell colors to flag issues (red) or highlights (green) for quick scanning.
Keep a Separate Master Seller List
Compile a summary tab that averages your ratings for each supplier from all your purchases.
