Lumber Slideshow
About
Lumber prices fluctuate frequently, and the hardware store previously updated them manually in both the point-of-sale system and a spreadsheet, which was displayed on a customer-facing kiosk. This manual process often led to pricing errors. I developed a streamlined solution: pricing is now exported directly from the point-of-sale system, while a user-uploaded spreadsheet automatically updates the slideshow without manual input.
