In the competitive landscape of cross-border purchasing, inventory accuracy and replenishment efficiency are critical success factors. Tangbuy, as an emerging platform in this space, leverages spreadsheets to enable seamless inventory linkage with suppliers and optimize replenishment workflows, ensuring stable product availability while minimizing costs.

Centralized Data Integration

Tangbuy consolidates supplier inventory data, procurement demands, and sales records into structured spreadsheet templates. Key data points include:

• Real-time supplier stock levels
• Product sales velocity and demand forecasts
• Lead times and procurement cycle history

This integration eliminates information silos and provides a unified view for decision-making.

Automated Alerts & Proactive Replenishment

Through conditional formatting and formula-based triggers (e.g.,=IF), spreadsheets automatically flag inventory risks when:

• Tangbuy’s on-hand stock falls below safety stock thresholds
• Supplier inventory can’t cover pending orders

Alerts notify procurement teams via email or integrated messaging tools, enabling dynamic purchase order adjustments.

Data-Driven Replenishment Planning

Historical sales trends and supplier performance metrics are analyzed using:

• Pivot tables to identify seasonal demand patterns
• Statistical functions (e.g.,=FORECAST) to project future needs

These insights help Tangbuy collaborate with suppliers on just-in-time replenishment schedules, reducing excess inventory (avg. 18%↓ storage costs observed post-implementation).

Strategic Optimization

The accrued inventory linkage data allows Tangbuy to refine procurement strategies like:

• ABC analysis prioritizing high-value SKUs
• Bulk order discounts by synchronizing with supplier surplus windows

A notable 12% improvement in fulfillment speed was achieved through tighter supplier coordination.
