Month 5 – December 2012

It feels good to finally get the hang of things at the counter. I feel as though I have good knowledge about our inventory and can help customers get the things that they need. I do notice that we are missing some stuff that I feel that we should have, and my project is supposed to help with this.

In order to track data for lost sales due to stock outages, I have been working with Johnny, our Eclipse systems administrator. I can honestly say that I am incredibly thankful and impressed with Johnny’s assistance. He has activated a new module for our profit center and has even created a report so that I can print out the collected data or export it to an Excel spreadsheet.

Johnny’s willingness to help is not an exception, but rather the norm at Hajoca. All of our support staff in various departments such as accounting, credit, systems, and benefits are excellent resources and always available. I learn so much from them and am ever so grateful.

Finally, Jeff and I are starting preparations for our annual regional forecast meeting coming up next month. This is a review of our profit center’s 2012 performance as well as goals for 2013.
