Watch Will work: a morning at Lume Casa.

A Tuesday morning at Lume Casa, a 38-person online home-goods store that sells through Nuvemshop, Mercado Livre and Amazon. The company and the morning are fictional. The work is what Will does every day.

07:50 · Before anyone gets in
Will reads the open orders in Bling, the overnight payments through Open Finance (regulated by Brazil’s Central Bank) and the emails in Gmail. Orders #1842 and #1851 are waiting on linen from Têxtil Norte, promised for today.
08:10 · The routine work
It reconciles the 46 overnight Pix payments (Brazil’s instant payments) with the Nuvemshop orders, creates the labels in Melhor Envio and answers everyone on WhatsApp who asked about their order.
08:41 · The supplier changes the date
Têxtil Norte writes that the linen ships Friday, not today. Will links the email to both orders and spots the delay on its own.
08:45 · Will handles its part
It asks Têxtil for the date in writing, moves both orders to "Waiting on supplier" in Bling and ClickUp, and tells Ana Paula R. on WhatsApp that delivery is now Wednesday.
09:08 · A decision for Helena
Only one thing is up to the owner: does the store cover shipping on #1842 because of the delay? She answers from her iPhone, and Will refunds the customer’s shipping through Mercado Pago.
11:30 · The work goes all the way
"The supplier replied" isn’t "the linen arrived." The #1842 task stays open until the order is delivered, and Will checks again on Friday.

The linen on your purchase order ships Friday, not today.

Will

Helena, this delays #1842 and #1851. I’ve already asked Têxtil for the date in writing, updated both orders in Bling and ClickUp, and told Ana Paula on WhatsApp.

Will

Just one thing is yours: do we cover shipping on #1842 because of the delay?

Helenaowner

Yes, we do.

Will

Done. I refunded the shipping through Mercado Pago, and Ana Paula knows. I’ll keep tracking the linen until #1842 is delivered.
