Introduction
In the booming reverse procurement industry, establishing an efficient after-sales management system is paramount for maintaining customer satisfaction. This article explores how customized spreadsheets can integrate with major shopping platforms' refund/exchange policies (Amazon US, Tmall Global, eBay, etc.) to streamline problem resolution while enhancing traceability.
Key Components of the Spreadsheet System
