Clear logs of payments, QC, and shipping data reduce disputes and increase trust.
The Modern Challenge in Sourcing
In the complex world of global sourcing and procurement, trust is the ultimate currency. Buyers, especially those working with overseas agents or suppliers, often navigate a fog of uncertainty. Questions like "Has my payment been processed?", "Did my product pass inspection?", and "Where is my shipment right now?" are common sources of anxiety and potential conflict. Traditional communication through emails and fragmented messages often deepens this fog, leading to delays, misunderstandings, and disputes.
The ACBUY Solution: Radical Spreadsheet Transparency
ACBUY addresses this core challenge head-on with its innovative model centered on shared, live spreadsheet transparency. Instead of burying critical data in inboxes, ACBUY structures the entire client journey into clear, accessible logs within a spreadsheet format that both the agent and the buyer can access.
1. Payment Log
Every transaction is meticulously recorded. Buyers can see a real-time log of payments made, amounts, dates, purposes, and confirmations. This eliminates "he said, she said" scenarios regarding finances and provides a single source of truth for financial reconciliation.
2. QC (Quality Control) Log
Quality checks are documented with objective clarity. The spreadsheet logs inspection dates, results, detailed notes, photographs, and any action items. Buyers are no longer left wondering about product quality; they have a direct, transparent window into the QC process.
3. Shipping & Logistics Log
From warehouse departure to final delivery, every shipping milestone is tracked. This includes courier details, tracking numbers, departure/arrival updates, and customs clearance notes. The guesswork is removed from the logistics timeline.
