KAKOBUY: Mastering Multi-Courier Logistics with the KAKOBUY Efficiency Spreadsheet
Automate Your Freight Analysis: Track Cost, Speed & Customs Performance Instantly
In the complex world of international shipping, using multiple couriers is a necessity for businesses like KAKOBUY to balance cost, speed, and reliability. However, manually comparing performance across carriers is time-consuming and prone to error. The KAKOBUY Freight Efficiency Spreadsheet
What Does the Spreadsheet Monitor?
This dynamic tool transforms raw shipping data into actionable insights by automating three critical calculations for each courier and shipment:
1. Cost Per Kilogram (CPK)
Formula:Total Shipment Cost / Total Weight (kg) = CPK
This is the fundamental metric for cost-efficiency. The spreadsheet automatically computes the CPK for every shipment, allowing you to instantly identify which courier provides the best value for specific weight brackets and destinations. No more manual division or guesswork.
2. Transit Speed (Door-to-Door)
Formula:Delivery Date – Ship Date = Total Transit Days
Speed impacts cash flow and customer satisfaction. By automatically calculating the actual transit days for each completed shipment, the spreadsheet builds a clear performance profile. You can see which couriers consistently meet estimates and which routes have predictable delays.
3. Customs Clearance Success Rate
Formula:(Shipments Without Customs Holds / Total Shipments) x 100 = Success Rate %
This proactive metric tracks smooth customs passage. Flag shipments that encounter delays, holds, or extra fees. Over time, the spreadsheet calculates a success rate percentage for each courier, highlighting which partners are most proficient at handling documentation and clearance for your specific goods.
