Work Overload!

Because the construction of the website, and the running of the store is pretty much planned out & brushed up... it's almost time for me to train + work with the rest of the company on how "my" Online webstore works.

In the past few days, I've been preparing myself for "handing over" the webshop to the rest of my colleagues. Although I'll still be a part of it, there needs be many other people to RUN the entire business.

Having had never (maybe I shouldn't be saying it out loud) planned an entire business before for another company other than for my own small businessy dealings... I've been stressing out big time in terms of how I'd "hand" this over.

Luckly, I did study ICT (Information Communication Technology- where I produced a 500page user manual for a database system...and got an A grade hehe), as well as Supply Chain Management/ Logistics (which I believe I'm not so bad at) back at school... so constructing a lengthy "idiot prove" user manual was not so scary.

Yesturday, I produced a 70something Power Point (zzzzzZZZ) slide Manual for the Administration Data Base system. This was to teach how people how to upload photos, change product titles, e.g. "Pink Mug", it's price, description, etc... As much of a pain it was, I guess there are many other worse things you could be doing. e.g. walk another trade fair... I swear my feet still ache from March!

Today, I contructed (in a better manner- I've done it before, just not so tidy...) the logistics/ flow chart as to what happens once the customer puts in the orders and pays. I guess it may be fairly "logical" for some to imagine what happens... you pack it and ship it right? It still has to be written/ drawn out in a "formal" manner when doing it for a business (sadly).

Here's a print screen of a part of my work today.

I shall be presenting everything from logistics flow, how to deal with customer data, how insert new products/ update products/ edit web content, etcetc next Tuesday.... God help me and Wish me luck!

P.S. I know. Boring stuff, but it's gotta be done!
