Buying Privileges - OKSelling Privileges - OK
Store: CalsBricks
As the topic has now done it's usual - off on a tangent' we would like
to pick up on one of admin's comments early on the discussion. They said
their next project was to help the sellers (why that is lower in priority than
the buyers - I am not sure)

We would like to ensure the following items are addressed in this next development
and would like to gauge the reaction of other stores to this:

1. Inventory management tools
2. Sales analysis tools
3. Multi-user logins to stores with security permissions
4. Significant improvements to the NPB process which is currently too long winded
5. Improvements to the Bricklink messaging system to allow graphics as well as
attachments
6. Multi level minimum values e.g. 1 for Domestic and 1 for non-domestic for
example
7. Shipping policies per country as appropriate. We only shipped on a tracked
basis to some countries.
8. Much more flexibility in how we deal with orders from the printing/downloading
etc point of view. Stores organise their parts differently. It is unlikely that
any two stores are identical and we now have over 10000 live ones.
9. Quicker turnarounds on new inventories/parts and colours.
10. A much more up to date forum capability - bring it into the 21st/22nd century.


Please feel absolutely free to comment or add to this list if you have other
points as well.

Sorry should have also added

11. Full audit trail capabilities for parting out sets as well as mass uploading
parts (we do this through Brickstock at the moment, but it would be much better
if Bricklink did it.
12. Audit trails for adding inventory (should be part of Inventory management
tools)

The list actually does go on and on .......

Statisticaly, more stores means more chances to have two stores that work the
same way.

  9. Quicker turnarounds on new inventories/parts and colours.

Ooh, how you neatly veiled the dreaded “pay someone to do the job” suggestion.

  10. A much more up to date forum capability - bring it into the 21st/22nd century.

Post 1994 would be a good start. (Even if I rather like its usenet / mailing-list
feel.)
