  • Categories
Try and get everything categorised, not maintained in manual lists. Link to the categories 
from the main page. eg. Instead of the CGS Roles article, link directly to the 
Category:CGS Roles category article instead.
  • Add yourselves as clients
You should add yourselves so that you can manage your own resources, knowledge and repairs in 
the same way you do for you customers. Eg. You should be able to reach the info about the Bunta 
(CGS), Grunta (Milan) and network setup etc through the same process as you would for looking 
up any client.

  • Accounts receivable - begin with tracking callouts
  • Open Invoices
see Category talk:CGS Open Invoices
Make the invoice template into an article
Make all invoices articles and categorise those in "Open Invoices" and "Paid Invoices"
Once you've done that you won't need to categorise the client in "Open Invoices" anymore.
  • Budgets
  • Info for bonus schemes
  • Reports
    • Daily tally
    • Weekly tally

  • Orders category and articles
  • Email orders to suppliers
  • Stock arrives: add orders to stock
  • Tie in to accounts/tally when stock is sold
  • Generate price list from stock list
  • Monitor stock levels using stock article
  • Hardware Classes
Create categories for kinds (classes) of hardware and assign your resources to those cats,  
so you can have info, links, how-to's etc for those kinds of things. eg. Removable storage,  
Media, Routers, wireless, LAN, Monitors... can all have general info.
  • Warranty
I noticed some warranty comments cropping up - that's an important one that we haven't talked  
about before. To handle these best you should actually have an article for each warrenty which   
contains links to all the resources under warr. and the start/end of the period. These articles  
are of course in a warranty cat and each affected client and resource link to their associated  
warranty article. That's also where you would include links to any relevent supplier warr info  
for the products - sometimes there's associated events here because clients sometimes need to  
fill out forms to be elegible.
Stock Control notes - from manager WS

The admin should be using worklog regularly thoughout the day so that it can be used for

monthly to be connected in to time consistently. Keep the next one or two regular items in  
schedule/worklog. Eg. create roles specially for problem-solving/notion and book them some  
sessions to work on the CGS structure/idea/questions etc...
