PROBLEM

What each order needed was scattered across personal notes, mail threads and private spreadsheets. The same problem came back every season, and whoever had not seen it before hit it again. If the person who knew was away, nobody knew.

THE OLD PROCESS

  1. 01Try to remember
  2. 02Search old mail
  3. 03Ask whoever handled it last
  4. 04If nobody is around, proceed and find out the hard way

WHAT I BUILT

  • Order-level cautions and requirements in one dashboard
  • Everyone on the team writes into it, not just the person who built it
  • Team leads review and adjust what has been entered
