6 00:01:18.380 ⇒ 00:01:27.919 Emily Giant: Yeah, I was saying, oh, I need to turn my camera off, because the fan behind me is awful to look at. It’s just, like, going and going, and it’s all you can focus on.
7 00:01:28.850 ⇒ 00:01:29.570 Demilade Agboola: Yeah.
8 00:01:30.210 ⇒ 00:01:31.380 Emily Giant: Is Amber back?
9 00:01:31.870 ⇒ 00:01:36.589 Emily Giant: No, no, she’s back on Wednesday, or Thursday, I’m not sure. But the middle of the week, basically.

11 00:01:39.550 ⇒ 00:01:42.949 Emily Giant: Well, this was called, like, scanning and Retro.
12 00:01:43.900 ⇒ 00:01:47.719 Emily Giant: And… I think we did the retro on Friday, yeah?
13 00:01:47.720 ⇒ 00:01:51.289 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah, we did, so we can just kind of focus on the planning.
14 00:01:51.490 ⇒ 00:01:54.280 Demilade Agboola: And prioritization in this call.
15 00:01:54.420 ⇒ 00:01:56.090 Emily Giant: That sounds good.
16 00:02:00.260 ⇒ 00:02:08.079 Demilade Agboola: I’m not sure if… okay, always just joined.
17 00:02:08.460 ⇒ 00:02:09.169 Emily Giant: Okay.
18 00:02:16.200 ⇒ 00:02:28.839 Demilade Agboola: Okay, I know we had an issue with the revenue data. Has that… is it for that, and is that assigned to anyone, or is that still an active thing?
19 00:02:29.500 ⇒ 00:02:31.319 Emily Giant: No, we’re gonna…
20 00:02:31.580 ⇒ 00:02:39.910 Emily Giant: hope that it resolves, since it’s, like, historical. We’re gonna wait until we deploy the new revenue tables, and just use those.
21 00:02:40.870 ⇒ 00:02:41.780 Demilade Agboola: Okay.
22 00:02:41.780 ⇒ 00:02:43.510 Emily Giant: Also.
23 00:02:43.850 ⇒ 00:02:47.140 Demilade Agboola: But the new revenue tables,
24 00:02:47.410 ⇒ 00:02:53.050 Demilade Agboola: We’re gonna use it for everything from 2025, but what about things prior to that?
25 00:02:53.600 ⇒ 00:03:01.340 Emily Giant: Well, it depends on how far back those tables go, but I would think that they don’t exist.
26 00:03:02.020 ⇒ 00:03:04.700 Emily Giant: Before 11-6-24.
27 00:03:05.040 ⇒ 00:03:05.780 Demilade Agboola: Okay.
28 00:03:07.360 ⇒ 00:03:10.370 Emily Giant: So we would have to use, like, historical still.
29 00:03:11.260 ⇒ 00:03:11.890 Demilade Agboola: Okay.
30 00:03:12.280 ⇒ 00:03:17.769 Demilade Agboola: Sounds good.
31 00:03:22.030 ⇒ 00:03:28.480 Demilade Agboola: Also, beyond that revenue request, is there any other, like, business request from stakeholders?
32 00:03:29.190 ⇒ 00:03:32.729 Emily Giant: Not right now. The only one…
33 00:03:33.020 ⇒ 00:03:38.049 Emily Giant: it’s not necessarily a request, but I am meeting with PK to go over,
34 00:03:39.130 ⇒ 00:03:58.589 Emily Giant: snapshot data. He has questions on how to use it, and is having some issues, and that’s, like, right after this. So if you’re able to join, I didn’t because I know it was last minute, and I just threw it on the calendar, like, this morning, but that’s the only request from stakeholders, is just, like, still having some issues with snapshot data.
35 00:03:59.430 ⇒ 00:04:05.260 Demilade Agboola: Okay, I guess that’s something I could always look at and just help with.
36 00:04:07.320 ⇒ 00:04:09.910 Demilade Agboola: Okay, so in terms of tickets.
37 00:04:10.650 ⇒ 00:04:18.920 Demilade Agboola: How much do you think your tickets are clear? Do we need to groom them? Do you have any questions on…
38 00:04:23.580 ⇒ 00:04:32.590 Awaish Kumar: Like, this… Yeah, are clear to me, and if I need anything in the middle, like.
39 00:04:32.840 ⇒ 00:04:39.470 Awaish Kumar: when I start working, I… I can sync with you all of them. But most of it are clear, what…
40 00:04:39.620 ⇒ 00:04:40.790 Awaish Kumar: Needs to be done.
41 00:04:41.050 ⇒ 00:04:48.659 Awaish Kumar: Only thing I wanted to discuss about this revenue thing, I messaged Utam that I will be looking into it, but
42 00:04:49.750 ⇒ 00:04:57.210 Awaish Kumar: Do we want to have a ticket and start working with that, or is that… Something, Bob.
43 00:04:57.210 ⇒ 00:05:04.619 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so I’m… so what I’m working on is the new revenue model. So this one is the old, like, legacy model.
44 00:05:05.060 ⇒ 00:05:12.169 Demilade Agboola: But yeah, if you have capacity to look into it, I think we could.
45 00:05:12.170 ⇒ 00:05:16.440 Awaish Kumar: Can you point me to the, like, can you create a ticket here in the…
46 00:05:16.890 ⇒ 00:05:20.819 Awaish Kumar: name the table, so I can… Let’s not looking into…
47 00:05:21.450 ⇒ 00:05:23.749 Demilade Agboola: Okay, so let’s see…
48 00:05:27.610 ⇒ 00:05:33.420 Demilade Agboola: revenue… Dashboard… Issues.
49 00:05:35.960 ⇒ 00:05:37.180 Awaish Kumar: in the data table.
50 00:05:37.970 ⇒ 00:05:43.839 Demilade Agboola: I believe I had it open. It’s this… it’s this model, right? It’s this dashboard, right?
51 00:05:44.830 ⇒ 00:05:45.740 Emily Giant: Let me see.
52 00:05:48.570 ⇒ 00:05:49.530 Emily Giant: Yes.
53 00:05:51.220 ⇒ 00:05:52.580 Demilade Agboola: this?
54 00:05:57.770 ⇒ 00:05:59.210 Demilade Agboola: of a month ago.
55 00:06:01.690 ⇒ 00:06:11.899 Demilade Agboola: Dashboard… It’s this… And then, the issue was on Friday, so…
56 00:06:16.330 ⇒ 00:06:17.889 Demilade Agboola: Which one of…
57 00:06:23.610 ⇒ 00:06:26.290 Demilade Agboola: Friday was the 10th, or…
58 00:06:26.290 ⇒ 00:06:29.490 Emily Giant: Maybe it was Saturday afternoon when Menakshi said something.
59 00:06:30.000 ⇒ 00:06:33.340 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, I think she said it was on… the issue was on Friday.
60 00:06:33.340 ⇒ 00:06:37.280 Emily Giant: Oh, okay. It’s… yeah, the 9th, or the 10th was Friday.
61 00:06:39.140 ⇒ 00:06:40.669 Demilade Agboola: Oh, okay, gotcha.
62 00:06:41.460 ⇒ 00:06:51.650 Demilade Agboola: So this… is where it was high compared to Shopify, so… if I…
63 00:07:12.060 ⇒ 00:07:14.150 Demilade Agboola: Okay, so sales on Shopify.
64 00:07:16.280 ⇒ 00:07:18.120 Demilade Agboola: What’s idiot here?
65 00:07:26.960 ⇒ 00:07:27.640 Demilade Agboola: Okay.
66 00:07:28.410 ⇒ 00:07:31.029 Demilade Agboola: Just add the vents.
67 00:07:42.430 ⇒ 00:07:44.060 Awaish Kumar: Then we dematic.
68 00:07:47.870 ⇒ 00:07:56.120 Demilade Agboola: Okay, revenue higher… Shopify…
69 00:07:56.470 ⇒ 00:08:15.960 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, but the thing is with Shopify, though, is, like, we just need to be clear with folks, like, sometimes it doesn’t include discounts and refunds, and so that’s what you want to be careful of. So, I… we should have, like, a canned response, probably, which is, like, why does Shopify diff… why does Shopify… we did this once, I think, actually, also, but, like.
70 00:08:16.180 ⇒ 00:08:31.249 Uttam Kumaran: We’ve done this for many other clients, where Shopify doesn’t… for example, refunds in Shopify, the recognition is different. Like, if a refund comes in today, but it is for an order, like, a month ago, it will negate today when it should have negated
71 00:08:31.360 ⇒ 00:08:36.959 Uttam Kumaran: A month ago, right? So there’s these, like, nuances that that’s probably going to be the majority of the issue.
72 00:08:37.570 ⇒ 00:08:43.930 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, I agree. I know Emily isn’t too big on, like, diving into this.
73 00:08:44.039 ⇒ 00:08:45.079 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
74 00:08:45.080 ⇒ 00:08:45.850 Demilade Agboola: Yes.
75 00:08:46.530 ⇒ 00:08:52.789 Demilade Agboola: Even if it’s just, like, Having an idea of what’s going on.
76 00:08:53.050 ⇒ 00:08:59.170 Demilade Agboola: That might be helpful, but if it’s something we just feel like, you know… We can overlook.
77 00:09:01.810 ⇒ 00:09:07.140 Emily Giant: Well, when I… so, none of the callouts and errors were…
78 00:09:07.260 ⇒ 00:09:11.100 Emily Giant: like, specific, so it was just that it was different than Shopify.
79 00:09:11.890 ⇒ 00:09:13.260 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, fair.
80 00:09:13.610 ⇒ 00:09:20.619 Emily Giant: Okay. So, in… do we know what, like, in what way? What… what… Field was different.
81 00:09:21.140 ⇒ 00:09:25.160 Demilade Agboola: So, it appears like revenue here is, like, what, $88K?
82 00:09:25.860 ⇒ 00:09:32.020 Demilade Agboola: Look at the dashboard in question, which is… For hydrogen, okay.
83 00:09:32.510 ⇒ 00:09:34.629 Demilade Agboola: It’s about 100K plus.
84 00:09:35.150 ⇒ 00:09:36.260 Demilade Agboola: A little over 100.
85 00:09:36.260 ⇒ 00:09:36.860 Emily Giant: Okay.
86 00:09:37.990 ⇒ 00:09:44.749 Emily Giant: But then the actual total gross revenue, is that, like, something that they key in.
87 00:09:44.950 ⇒ 00:09:49.330 Emily Giant: In a spreadsheet, or is that generated? Because that looks very close to…
88 00:09:49.420 ⇒ 00:09:50.289 Demilade Agboola: Because it does.
89 00:09:51.470 ⇒ 00:09:57.559 Emily Giant: because the revenue to be booked is a spreadsheet that Perry fills out, so the 109 is something she keyed in.
90 00:09:57.850 ⇒ 00:09:58.580 Demilade Agboola: Oh, okay.
91 00:09:58.970 ⇒ 00:10:04.759 Demilade Agboola: Fair enough. I guess, like… It does look, yeah, 88K is basically the same amount.
92 00:10:04.760 ⇒ 00:10:05.560 Emily Giant: Yeah.
93 00:10:06.780 ⇒ 00:10:11.960 Awaish Kumar: But I think in that comment, what she was saying, that it looks different in the…
94 00:10:12.520 ⇒ 00:10:15.049 Awaish Kumar: Evenings, and then…
95 00:10:15.050 ⇒ 00:10:18.450 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, just in the morning. It could also just be a refresh thing.
96 00:10:19.220 ⇒ 00:10:24.490 Emily Giant: Totally is. That’s gotta be what it is. That’s practically the exact same number as Shopify.
97 00:10:27.770 ⇒ 00:10:35.920 Demilade Agboola: So, I would still want to be able to just look at it and just have an idea of why it’s happening. Maybe not as resolve it, but just, like, okay, this is what’s going on.
98 00:10:36.430 ⇒ 00:10:38.440 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sure, I’ll take a look.
99 00:10:40.540 ⇒ 00:10:47.480 Demilade Agboola: shares… Which… I think it’s high, but not, like, urgent.
100 00:10:49.150 ⇒ 00:10:50.769 Demilade Agboola: Other than creative.
101 00:10:52.610 ⇒ 00:11:06.320 Demilade Agboola: Alright, this… for me… So updates, at this point, I have created the revenue models
102 00:11:07.230 ⇒ 00:11:10.429 Demilade Agboola: And at this point, everything…
103 00:11:10.920 ⇒ 00:11:15.109 Demilade Agboola: The, like, the different revenue cases have been, like, accounted for.
104 00:11:15.960 ⇒ 00:11:19.549 Demilade Agboola: based off the orders.
105 00:11:22.240 ⇒ 00:11:32.189 Demilade Agboola: Right now, we have two, revenue fields, when it’s fulfilled, when it goes out the door, when it’s shipped, that counts as revenue. But we also have an accrued revenue field where
106 00:11:32.200 ⇒ 00:11:43.959 Demilade Agboola: revenue is also tracked based on things that were ordered, but maybe not fulfilled, because that helps people like Perry and, like, other financial analysts understand where they’re losing revenue on
107 00:11:44.360 ⇒ 00:11:48.919 Demilade Agboola: Products that didn’t actually own flowers that didn’t actually go out the door.
108 00:11:49.420 ⇒ 00:12:02.920 Demilade Agboola: So that has been done. And so for me this week, it’s basically meeting with Emily to get a structure of how revenue should be presented, so maybe by product SKU.
109 00:12:03.290 ⇒ 00:12:10.829 Demilade Agboola: Or by state, or by a combination of these sort of things, so that we can start to build the revenue models that will fill out
110 00:12:11.150 ⇒ 00:12:18.710 Demilade Agboola: what’s currently being used, in Looker, And also,
111 00:12:19.200 ⇒ 00:12:24.260 Demilade Agboola: The other part would be trying to integrate subscriptions into it.
112 00:12:25.180 ⇒ 00:12:30.209 Demilade Agboola: So, a lot of that will be tied into some of these models that I’ll be working on this week.
113 00:12:31.560 ⇒ 00:12:37.229 Demilade Agboola: So that’s basically my focus for this week. I think that would be the highest priority.
114 00:12:38.110 ⇒ 00:12:39.830 Demilade Agboola: As a result.
115 00:12:40.570 ⇒ 00:12:43.660 Demilade Agboola: Emily.
116 00:12:43.790 ⇒ 00:12:49.640 Demilade Agboola: Do you have any, like, feedback on these tasks that you’re working on, and what the focus is this week?
117 00:12:50.330 ⇒ 00:12:54.870 Emily Giant: My focus is still finishing out these subscription tickets, and I’m pretty far into it.
118 00:12:55.220 ⇒ 00:13:01.650 Emily Giant: I think that 298 and 296… no, 298 and,
119 00:13:02.520 ⇒ 00:13:06.239 Emily Giant: There was one other, like, subscription issue. Oh, it’s 398…
120 00:13:06.520 ⇒ 00:13:08.979 Emily Giant: And 381 will be done by end of day.
121 00:13:09.210 ⇒ 00:13:14.830 Emily Giant: like, they’re all but done, I just haven’t done the PR, because I’m working on the historical at the same time.
122 00:13:15.370 ⇒ 00:13:24.989 Emily Giant: But those are fixed already, they’re just not, like, worked into the fact model. And then 331,
123 00:13:25.140 ⇒ 00:13:29.480 Emily Giant: I have a feeling it’s gonna take, like, 2 more days to finish that out.
124 00:13:29.580 ⇒ 00:13:32.120 Emily Giant: I’ve finished the sticky.
125 00:13:32.440 ⇒ 00:13:41.110 Emily Giant: software, but the additional, like, historical software programs we’ve used for subscriptions, I still have to do.
126 00:13:41.390 ⇒ 00:13:48.730 Emily Giant: And the information’s just, like… it needs a bit more logic applied to it, but I’m not gonna…
127 00:13:49.200 ⇒ 00:13:59.130 Emily Giant: hold up the new mart from being deployed with that. I think it’s just sticky and loop, that, if we can get that out there by, like, tomorrow, end of day.
128 00:14:00.730 ⇒ 00:14:08.290 Emily Giant: The other programs just aren’t as urgent, because they were so long ago, we don’t use them as comps as frequently.
129 00:14:09.460 ⇒ 00:14:12.759 Demilade Agboola: Okay, in terms of subscription, what…
130 00:14:13.720 ⇒ 00:14:20.529 Demilade Agboola: Is there anything I can build off right now to start, like, the revenue, or is that something I have to wait until you’re done?
131 00:14:20.800 ⇒ 00:14:21.740 Demilade Agboola: Completely.
132 00:14:22.130 ⇒ 00:14:27.100 Emily Giant: I think what not done completely, no, for sure, no.
133 00:14:27.360 ⇒ 00:14:35.060 Emily Giant: once I’ve deployed those two tickets that are… yeah, then you can use the fact model.
134 00:14:35.540 ⇒ 00:14:36.220 Demilade Agboola: Oh, okay.
135 00:14:36.390 ⇒ 00:14:37.030 Emily Giant: Yeah.
136 00:14:37.260 ⇒ 00:14:39.199 Emily Giant: So that should be end of day.
137 00:14:39.380 ⇒ 00:14:45.649 Emily Giant: And we can go over them tomorrow morning at the working session, and… Just review, like, what…
138 00:14:45.800 ⇒ 00:14:48.860 Emily Giant: Aspects of that table you could use for revenue.
139 00:14:49.620 ⇒ 00:14:50.960 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sounds good.
140 00:14:51.400 ⇒ 00:14:58.379 Demilade Agboola: Alright, so it sounds like from tomorrow, basically, we can start building out, the models that
141 00:14:58.610 ⇒ 00:15:03.720 Demilade Agboola: The, like, end revenue models that we can stack exposing to stakeholders.
142 00:15:04.120 ⇒ 00:15:04.690 Emily Giant: Yep.
143 00:15:06.330 ⇒ 00:15:08.119 Emily Giant: That should be the case, yes.
144 00:15:08.340 ⇒ 00:15:09.430 Demilade Agboola: Alright, sounds good.
145 00:15:09.980 ⇒ 00:15:15.340 Demilade Agboola: Any… any feedback from PK and what he’s working on?
146 00:15:16.310 ⇒ 00:15:20.270 Emily Giant: I’ll get to… I have a meeting with him after this, just to sync on all of these things.
147 00:15:20.640 ⇒ 00:15:22.020 Emily Giant: But,
148 00:15:22.500 ⇒ 00:15:28.999 Emily Giant: I’ll have him update the tickets, I’ll just chat with him. We’re talking from 3 to 4, and I’ll see where he is with these.
149 00:15:29.420 ⇒ 00:15:30.740 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sounds good.
