Automating Seller Performance Scoring in KAKOBUY
A Guide to Building a Weighted Vendor Ranking Spreadsheet
Introduction: The Need for Automated Scoring
Manually evaluating dozens or hundreds of vendors on KAKOBUY is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency. An automated scoring system in a spreadsheet transforms raw data (QC pass rates, refund ratios, and shipping on-time performance) into a clear, objective vendor ranking. This guide will walk you through creating your own KAKOBUY Seller Performance Dashboard.
Step 1: Laying the Data Foundation
First, structure your data. Create columns for essential metrics pulled from your KAKOBUY analytics or manual logs.
| Vendor ID | Vendor Name | QC Pass Rate (%) | Refund Rate (%) | On-Time Shipping (%) |
|-----------|-------------|------------------|-----------------|-----------------------|
| KV-1001 | TechGadget Co.| 95.2 | 2.1 | 97.8 |
| KV-1002 | StyleApparel | 88.5 | 5.7 | 92.1 |
| KV-1003 | HomeEssentials| 98.9 | 1.0 | 99.5 |
Step 2: Creating the Weighted Scoring Formula
Not all metrics are equally important. Assign weights that reflect your business priorities. For example:
- QC Pass Rate (Weight: 40%): Most critical for customer satisfaction.
- Refund Rate (Weight: 35%): Directly impacts profitability.
- On-Time Shipping (Weight: 25%): Key for operational reliability.
In a new column, "Performance Score", create a formula. Assuming data starts in row 2:
= (C2 * 0.40) + ((100 - D2) * 0.35) + (E2 * 0.25)
Note: We use `(100 - Refund Rate)` so that a lower refund rate results in a higher score, aligning with QC and Shipping logic.
Step 3: Implementing the Ranking & Tiers
Use the calculated score to assign a rank and a clear performance tier.
In the "Rank"
=RANK(F2, $F$2:$F$500, 0) // Ranks the score in column F in descending order.
In the "Tier"
=IF(F2 >= 90, "A: Excellent",
IF(F2 >= 80, "B: Good",
IF(F2 >= 70, "C: Monitor",
"D: Review Required"
)
