Managing international shipments can quickly become a logistical maze. VigorBuy

The Core Structure: One Workbook, Multiple Regional Hubs

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.

  • Tab 1: US Shipments
  • Tab 2: EU Shipments
  • Tab 3: Asia Shipments

You can add more tabs for other regions like UK, ANZ, or Middle East

Each region has unique customs forms, duty thresholds, and prohibited items. A dedicated tab allows you to create customized columns

Logistics Focus

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.

Performance Analytics

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.
