CNFANS: The Basic Summary

CNFANS provides a straightforward, user-friendly dashboard that summarizes key order information. Users can typically see:

  • Order Status Overview:
  • Financial Summary:
  • Item List View:

This approach is excellent for getting a general snapshot. It's low-effort and answers the most immediate questions: "What did I buy?" and "How much did I spend?" However, the data is often presented in isolated blocks, making deeper analysis and cross-referencing challenging.

BaseTao Spreadsheet: The Engine for Detailed Insight

BaseTao’s system exports or presents data in a comprehensive, spreadsheet-like format. This structure transforms raw data into an analytical tool. Its key strength lies in the interconnectivity of data points

1. Granular Spending Analysis

Beyond a total sum, BaseTao's layout allows users to break down costs with precision. You can easily calculate:

  • Cost per category (e.g., clothing, electronics).
  • Average item cost per seller.
  • Domestic shipping costs per order.
  • Total spent in a specific time period using date filters.

This turns spending data from a static number into a dynamic map of your purchasing habits, enabling better budget control.

2. Integrated QC & Logistics Performance

This is where BaseTao's structure truly shines. Instead of seeing QC photos in a separate gallery, the spreadsheet ties them directly to each order line. More importantly, it allows for performance tracking:

  • Users can flag items with issues and sort by seller
  • You can compare the QC pass rate
  • Logistics data (dates purchased, received in warehouse) is aligned with each item, making it easy to track which sellers dispatch quickly and which cause delays.

Head-to-Head: Turning Data into Decisions

Analysis Goal CNFANS Approach BaseTao Spreadsheet Approach
Identify a reliable seller Manually check each order from that seller; no aggregated view. Filter and sort all orders by seller name, review QC notes and dates collectively to assess consistency.
Calculate a monthly budget View total spending, but cannot easily isolate a specific month's orders. Filter orders by "purchased date" and use spreadsheet functions to sum only that period's costs.
Manage warehouse storage time See which items are in the warehouse, but not for how long. Sort by "warehouse arrival date" to immediately identify items approaching storage limits, preventing extra fees.
