Managing international shipments can quickly become a logistical maze. VigorBuy
The fundamental principle is to use a single VigorBuy spreadsheet file, but separate the data for different major shipping destinations into their own clearly labeled tabs or sheets. You can add more tabs for other regions like UK, ANZ, or Middle East
Why does this regional tab system work so effectively? Each region has unique customs forms, duty thresholds, and prohibited items. A dedicated tab allows you to create customized columns
Carrier preferences, shipping times, and tracking portals differ by region. With separate tabs, you can log region-specific courier names, expected delivery windows, and local customer service contacts without clutter or confusion. Analyze shipping costs, delay patterns, and customs clearance times per region. This data becomes invaluable for optimizing your supply chain and setting accurate customer expectations for different markets.
