Experience
Admin Panel for an eCommerce Company
This company was having a hard time managing all the 3rd-party software that they were using. For eCommerce, they were using WooCommerce, for shipping, Shipstation; for inventory, Finale; for marketing, Hubspot; and for accounting, QuickBooks.
It was difficult for their employees to get proficient in day-to-day tasks since they had to master various software. I created an admin dashboard for them where they can update/modify their products, track their orders, get reports about their sales, export their invoices and payments to QuickBooks, and keep their customers' emails synced with HubSpot.
