Introduction

In the rapidly expanding realm of cross-border e-commerce, reverse代购 (where overseas shoppers purchase goods for mainland clients) requires meticulous coordination of logistics. Digital tools like shopping spreadsheets have emerged as pivotal assets, integrating dispersed logistics resources across代购 platforms while optimizing routes and tracking shipments—ultimately reducing delivery times.

• Auto-calculate consolidatedparcelweight/volumetor educe shippingcosts
• Identify overlapping routes across platforms for joint shipments

Embedded formulas and plug ins (such as Google Maps或 logistics APIs) analyze spreadsheet data to:

3. Real-Time Stakeholder Coordination

Cloud-based sheets (shared代购agents, warehouses, local couriers) enable:
