A warehouse TV dashboard for live staffing and task control
This internal warehouse platform helps fulfilment supervisors see who is available, place employees into departments, assign work and review activity without maintaining separate staffing sheets and task logs.
In short
This warehouse operations dashboard is a real-time internal tool for fulfilment supervisors. It shows who is present, places employees into departments, assigns tasks with timers and attachments, and records activity history. Updates appear on admin screens and warehouse TV views without manual refreshes, and CSV or Excel exports let the same records support live operations, management review and reporting.

01 / The problem
Why the warehouse TV dashboard was needed
Warehouse staffing changes throughout the day. Supervisors need to know who is present, which department needs help, what work is active and whether a task has been waiting too long.
Static reports cannot answer those questions during a shift. The team needed a live view for managers and warehouse displays, plus enough history to review completed work later.
02 / The build
How I approached the build
I built a Next.js and Firebase operations dashboard with live staffing views, department assignments, task timers, attachments and employee activity history. Changes appear across admin screens and warehouse TV views without requiring manual refreshes.
The system also supports business-hour-aware tracking and CSV or Excel exports, so live operations and later reporting use the same underlying records.
03 / Capabilities
What the warehouse TV dashboard does

Task timers
Active work keeps a visible duration and ownership record.
Warehouse TV views
Operational information is available on shared screens for floor visibility.
Activity history
Managers can review past assignments, corrections and completed work.
Operational exports
CSV and Excel outputs support reporting outside the live dashboard.

Yes. A dedicated display view can show current staffing, department activity and active work without exposing management controls.
Yes. Authorized supervisors can make controlled corrections while the system retains enough history for later review.
The tracking logic can apply the operating schedule so reports reflect active working time instead of treating every overnight hour as warehouse activity.
