Best Items to Track Using Orientdig Spreadsheet

Not sure what to monitor? Here are the top product categories and metrics every reseller should track with orientdig spreadsheet for maximum profit visibility.

Tracking What Matters

Many resellers track everything and understand nothing. The orientdig spreadsheet helps you focus on the metrics that actually impact profit. This guide breaks down the essential items to monitor, organized by category and business goal. Stop drowning in data and start making decisions.

Product Categories Worth Tracking

• Shoes - Track size runs, restock dates, and release hype levels.
• Hoodies & Sweaters - Monitor seasonality and colorway popularity.
• T-Shirts - Volume-heavy category; focus on print quality and sizing accuracy.
• Jackets - Higher margins but slower turns; track days-in-inventory closely.
• Pants & Shorts - Size variability is high; maintain detailed size matrices.
• Headwear - Often impulse buys; track add-on rates with other categories.
• Sets - Bundled sales improve average order value; track bundle vs individual sales.
• Jerseys - Event-driven demand; tie inventory to sports schedules.
• Accessories - High margin, low volume; track profit per SKU carefully.

Metrics That Drive Profit

Setting Up Category-Specific Views

Instead of viewing all products at once, create filtered views. In Excel or Google Sheets, use the Filter feature to show only Shoes, or only items with stock below 10 units. Save these filters as named views for one-click access. This prevents decision overload and keeps your morning review under five minutes.

Seasonal Tracking Adjustments

Your tracking priorities change with the seasons. In Q4, focus on gift-friendly categories like Sets and Accessories. In Q1, prioritize Jerseys for playoff season and Hoodies for cold weather. Use a Season column in your orientdig spreadsheet to tag items, then filter by upcoming quarter during planning sessions. This proactive approach prevents missed opportunities and overstocking off-season goods.
