KAKOBUY: Maintaining Yearly QC Reports for Seller Performance Analysis
A Strategic Guide to Logging Inspection Outcomes and Refund Ratios for Long-Term Vendor Evaluation
On the KAKOBUY platform, robust seller performance analysis is the cornerstone of marketplace quality and customer trust. A systematic, multi-year approach to Quality Control (QC) reporting transforms raw data into actionable intelligence. By consistently logging inspection outcomesrefund ratios, buyers and platform managers can build a comprehensive vendor evaluation framework that highlights trends, rewards consistency, and mitigates risk.
Core Metrics to Track Annually
To build an effective year-over-year analysis, focus on these two primary data streams:
- QC Inspection Outcomes:
- Passed (Fully Compliant)
- Passed with Minor Issues
- Failed (Critical Defects)
Implementation: Structuring Your Yearly Report Log
A standardized template ensures consistency. Below is a conceptual model for a vendor's yearly summary record.
| Vendor ID | Year | Total Orders | QC Passed | QC Minor Issues | QC Failed | Total Units Sold | Units Refunded | Refund Ratio | Performance Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VEN-202 | 2022 | 150 | 132 | 15 | 3 | 10,000 | 220 | 2.2% | B (Stable) |
| 2023 | 200 | 185 | 12 | 3 | 15,000 | 180 | 1.2% | A (Improved) | |
| 2024 | 180 | 174 | 5 | 1 | 12,000 | 95 | 0.79% | A (Top) |
From Data to Analysis: Evaluating Multi-Year Trends

Actionable Outcomes for Platform Management
The final step is leveraging this analysis for strategic decisions:
For Top Performers (Consistent A Tier):
Offer benefits: faster payment cycles, featured placement, or access to high-demand product launches.
For Declining Performers:
Initiate corrective action plans, mandate more frequent inspections, or temporarily reduce order allocation until metrics improve.
For New Sourcing Decisions:
Prioritize vendors with a multi-year track record of improvement and stability over those with a single good year.
