PM + UI / UX + Development

The Product

Develop a product that brought employees and sales staff to one place, where they could manage their day-to-day and provide customer history visibility across the company.

Problem

Sales, delivery, and administrative staff were all using their own processes or none at all, many of which provided visibility company-wide

Business Goal

Create a system that will gain employee buy-in via providing visibility on product, inventory, customers, etc all with one login.

Constraints
  • Employees' unwillingness to change
  • Outdated POS and inventory systems
