The Power of Spreadsheets for Product Sourcing
For Taobao shopping agents using Cnfans, specially designed electronic tracking systems can significantly improve sourcing operations for premium brands like Tom Ford. By developing comprehensive product logs that document:
- Product SKU versions and limited editions
- Color availability across different markets
- Regional size variations (for fragrances and cosmetics)
- Real-time restocking timelines
These records create a living database for instant product matching when customers make inquiries about hard-to-find Tom Ford cosmetics.
Advanced Sales Forecasting Techniques

- An automatic reorder calculator based on historical sales velocity
Example: Winter nudes lipstick shades see 63% higher search volume when temperature drops below 4°C in northern markets.
