- Enhance transaction tracking tools to allow more precise reporting and analysis of marketplace activity.
- Improving System Reliability:
- Optimize the system’s backend to ensure it can scale with increasing amounts of users, listings, and transactions.
- Ensure that all changes and updates are tested to minimize bugs or downtime in the dashboard.
- Monthly Reporting & SCMR Tracking:
- Implement automatic reporting tools for the SayPro Monthly SCMR-17 initiative, generating reports on user activity, marketplace performance, and transaction histories.
- Enable easy export options for data, allowing administrators to generate and download reports for analysis or external use.
Action Plan for Dashboard Optimization and Maintenance
1. Requirements Gathering and Initial Assessment
- Conduct a series of meetings with the SayPro Online Marketplace Office, including stakeholders from SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR, to identify pain points and areas requiring improvement.
- Collect feedback from end users who regularly use the dashboard for administrative tasks to identify usability issues or missing features.
- Review the current system logs, identify performance bottlenecks, and examine any existing bugs.
2. Feature Enhancement and Optimization
- User Management Improvements:
- Enhance the ability to manage user roles and permissions (adding/removing roles, access control, etc.).
- Introduce bulk actions for user management, such as suspending or deleting multiple users at once.
- Implement automated user notifications for changes in account status or permissions.
- Listing Management Refinements:
- Improve listing categorization and filter options (adding custom categories, priority listing, etc.).
- Enhance the bulk editing features, such as updating multiple listings at once or applying discounts in bulk.
- Integrate a feature for automatic status updates for listings (e.g., automatically mark inactive listings).
- Transaction Management Enhancements:
- Improve filtering and sorting capabilities in the transaction logs for faster analysis.
- Introduce an automated transaction dispute management system, making it easier for administrators to track and resolve issues.
- Add financial reporting tools for more transparent tracking of sales, fees, and commissions.
3. New Features and Tools
- Advanced Search and Filters:
- Implement an advanced search tool for users, listings, and transactions that allows more granular filters based on date ranges, user activity, and transaction types.
- Bulk Operations:
- Introduce bulk user actions, listing updates, and transaction modifications to improve efficiency for administrative staff.
- Automated Alerts and Notifications:
- Set up a notification system for administrators, including alerts for expiring listings, user inactivity, and transaction issues.
- Reporting Enhancements:
- Add customizable reports with data export options (CSV, Excel, PDF).
- Implement regular, automated monthly reports as part of SCMR-17, summarizing user, listing, and transaction data.
4. Performance and System Reliability Improvements
- Optimize database queries and API calls to reduce load times and increase the responsiveness of the dashboard.
- Enhance security features, including login tracking, multi-factor authentication for administrators, and improved data encryption.
- Implement a rollback or version control system for updates and changes to prevent system downtime or errors during updates.
5. Testing and Quality Assurance
- Perform extensive user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure the new features and optimizations meet the requirements and expectations of administrative users.
- Conduct load testing to assess system performance under varying levels of user activity and data.
- Carry out regression testing to ensure that no existing functionality is broken by the new updates.
6. Deployment and Monitoring
- Gradually deploy changes, beginning with a small group of administrators for live testing.
- Monitor system performance and user feedback closely following deployment to catch any issues early and address them immediately.
- Provide training or documentation updates to ensure that administrators can effectively use the new features.
Key Outcomes Expected from Optimization
- Improved Efficiency: The optimization will streamline administrative workflows, reducing the time required to perform tasks like managing users, updating listings, and processing transactions.
