Integration of Tangbuy Procurement Logistics Tracking Data in Spreadsheets and Establishment of Anomaly Alert Mechanism-OK Spreadsheet-The best and new spreadsheet

Introduction

In the modern e-commerce landscape, efficient logistics tracking is crucial for procurement platforms like Tangbuy. This article explores how to consolidate logistics tracking data in spreadsheets and implement an effective anomaly detection system to ensure timely and secure delivery of goods.

Data Integration Framework

The spreadsheet integration requires the following key data points:

Tracking Number:
Shipping Status:
Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA):
Carrier Information:
Origin/Destination:

Creating the Data Structure

Organize your spreadsheet with the following columns:

Column Data Type Description

A Order ID Internal reference number

B Tracking Number Carrier's unique tracking code

C Shipping Carrier Name of logistics provider

D Current Status Latest update from carrier API

E Last Scan Location Most recent checkpoint

F Original ETA Initial estimated arrival

G Revised ETA Updated delivery estimate

H Status Age (hours) Time since last update

I Warning Status Alert trigger indicators

Logistics Anomaly Alert Mechanism

Threshold Settings

The alert system should monitor:

Status Age Threshold:
ETA Variance:
Landmark Discrepancy:
Delivery Exception:

Conditional Formatting

Implement visual indicators in the spreadsheet:

RED: Critical delays (3+ days behind schedule)

ORANGE: Minor delays (1-2 days behind)

GREEN: On-time shipments

PURPLE: Exception status detected

Responsive Action Protocol

For each alert level, define standard operating procedures:

Alert Level Response Action

Minor Delay (Orange) Email tracking update requested - notify customer

Significant Delay (Red) Contact carrier for escalation - consider reorder

Lost Package Initiate claims process - send replacement

Conclusion

By centralizing Tangbuy's procurement tracking data in spreadsheet format and implementing a multi-level alert system with clear response protocols, logistics teams can significantly improve problem detection speeds while maintaining delivery reliability. The simple spreadsheet interface allows for rapid adoption while providing sophisticated monitoring through conditional logic and automated alerts.
