Use Case
How to build a Pre-order Tracking Application
Mark is an entrepreneur who designs sustainable clothing. His job is to source and create amazing outfits that match the demand. However, Mark is often stuck guessing how many units are required in every SKU. Given that the lead times are very long Mark needs to understand the demand and source the items accordingly. If he gets extra SKUs that don't get sold, it's a waste of money. Whereas if there is a demand and the outfits aren't available, it's a loss of potential opportunity. Mark heard of a pre-order tracking system and wants us to help him build one to guage customer interests.
So, let's help Mark build a PreOrdering system that tracks customer interest and helps him prioritize the orders, shall we?
