For cross-border shopping agents, managing international logistics is often the most complex and time-consuming part of the business. Keeping track of numerous parcels, calculating variable shipping fees, and keeping clients informed can quickly become overwhelming. This is where the combined power of CNFans Spreadsheet and CNFans Shipping becomes an indispensable core assistant, transforming chaos into clarity and control.

Accurate, Automated Shipping Calculations
Manual freight calculation is prone to errors that can eat into your margins or annoy customers. By setting up automated formulas within your CNFans Spreadsheet, you can dynamically compute CNFans Shipping fees based on precise parcel weight and destination.

The system helps you identify the most cheap and efficient routes, ensuring you aren’t overpaying for shipping. In fact, finding a reliable yet cheap shipping solution is key to maintaining profitability and customer satisfaction in competitive markets.

By distributing the total shipping cost proportionally based on each item's weight, you can provide clients with a transparent and equitable breakdown of their individual shipping expenses.

This information can be easily shared with clients, keeping them proactively informed. Beyond tracking single parcels, the true power of CNFans Spreadsheet lies in its analytical capabilities. You can compile data to statistics the delivery timelines and lost package rates of different carriers. Which courier is consistently faster? Which has a lower incidence of lost parcels despite offering cheap rates? This data-driven insight allows you to objectively analyze which carriers offer the best value for money.
