With a robust feature set and strong hierarchical structure, ClickUp makes it easy to manage the challenges of retail operations all in one convenient place!
Start with the Hierarchy
Space
We recommend creating a Space called Operations in your Retail Workspace to house all of your action items.
Folders and Lists
Add Folders and Lists as follows:
-
Folder: Sales > Lists: Point of Sales, Special Orders.
This is how you'll separate your sales process for normal clients vs. those that request specialized services.
-
Folder: Bills > Lists: Overdue, Pending.
Handling your overdue bills in a separate List will guarantee you can prioritize them immediately.
-
Folder: Staff > Lists: Time-off Requests, New Hires + one List for each current employee on your Workspace
These Lists will allow you to manage tasks for both seasoned employees and brand new hires all in one place.
-
Folder: Stock > Lists: Orders, In Stock, Backlog
Keep track of general inventory stock and orders, and monitor any backlogged pre-orders.
Tasks
This is where you'll be spending the majority of your time in ClickUp to satisfy the requirements of each List you've set up. A full description of task features can be found here.
