By Dion

In this guide, we'll learn how to use the Classic Hub to manage documentation, jobs, purchase orders, and schedules across different regions. We will cover how to access the hub, locate job details, update information in GM, and find key documents needed for each build. This guide will also explain how automated updates are sent and what actions are required based on those updates.

Let's get started

This SOP explains how to use the Classic Hub.

1
Click on "Portals"
Step #1: Click on "Portals"

First, go to myclassic.co.nz using the detailed login information shown in the logins document.

Click on "My Classic"
Step #2: Click on "My Classic"

The hub is the central location for all documentation, classic jobs, purchase orders, and schedules for every region we manage: Waikato, Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tauranga, Western Bay of Plenty, Wellington, East Waikato, Manawatu, Classic Connect, and others. Each day, an automated email is sent from the Classic Hub to sales@opendoors.co.nz. This occurs at 8:00 AM during daylight saving time and at 7:00 AM when daylight saving ends. This will be a list of all the different updates that occur. Next, go to the hub to make the necessary changes.

For example, this one here is EBP1022/04. I can use the filter list here, type in the number, and then click on the associated job that appears.

Click on "Filter"
Step #3: Click on "Filter"

You will see a measure, delivery cavity slider, delivery internal doors, and delivery interior door hardware. These are the dates we need to enter into the invoice description in GM to stay on schedule. The measure does not have a purchase order value. However, when there are cavity sliders or internal doors on the jobs, there will be specific values and line items on the PO. These must be matched in GM.
