Fifth Journal: Collaborative project

A collaborative effort It is crucial when working at Core2Print. If the employees in each department does not work and communicate correctly to one another a client may not get their order done correctly. The collaborative project I worked on has to do with creating a simple pricing sheet that is easy tp read on the Core2Print website. Currently the website does not give customers the pricing for any of the printing techniques or garments the company has to offer. The goal was to create something the customer can quickly look at to calculate the cost for their design. What makes this task difficult is the amount of options the customer has. The customer can make t-shirt’s, hoodies, hats, jerseys, uniforms and more using printing techniques like Heat transfer, DTG, screen print and more. Depending on the amount of pieces made, amount colors, materials, design placement (front, back or sides of t-shirt, sweater, jacket, or other), and other fees, the cost will vary. Therefore making a simple pricing list that anyone can read is not an easy task. I worked along side of Daniel my supervisor who followed up with Ben the owner who gave us feedback on how we should layout and organize the pricing. For the most part we communicated at the site in person. Occasionally we would also email. Since making the list is a little tedious most of our communication was in person though to make sure we were clear on price points and things of that matter. What was successful about this project is that we came up with a much simpler price list than the one they had been using before. What was not very successful was accurately translating the list to on online system where customers can add or take away options and automatically see what the pricing will be based on their choices. The whole point of making the simple pricing list was to make it even simpler for the online experience. We are still working on putting it up on the website in a way that the customer can easily build their custom apparel and get a quick quote or price.
