Goals
You had a few goals when you took over this process from Drew. Let's look at the goals, and how you were able to make improvements.
| Goal | Improvement | How |
|---|---|---|
| Eliminate inefficiencies | Enabled team members to choose a product instead of typing it | Relationships |
| Minimize effort to update data | Corrected the product name in the product table, which automatically updated all the orders | Tables and Relationships |
| Share access to reports | Enabled management to see the status of the business without asking | Dashboard |
By making it easy for others in your team to enter orders and view reports, you empowered them to be self-sufficient. Everyone wins!
- Your team has the information they need at their fingertips
- Your company is more efficient, saving time and money
- You have more time to spend on high value activities, like identifying other areas for process improvement, and then building more apps to specifically address those processes
