Merchant Dashboard is a product that allows retailers to process orders. It is designed to help retailers quickly process online orders in the most efficient way possible.
The main issue to solve was that it took retailers a long time to process each order. A solution was conceived that would allow retailers to process orders in bulk, or multiple orders at once, which would save time.
Specific goals included allowing the user to see more orders above the page-break line on the display and designing an adaptable mobile version.
