Video Tagging and Data Entry Requirements for This Project
The client contacted our team at BackOffice Pro (BOP) through an online inquiry, concerning a project involving a high volume of supermarket counter display videos. These videos contained several product price estimates. To make this data more usable, we were required to provide video data entry and video tagging services to ascertain and compare market prices, prepare market intelligence reports, etc.
This project included over 110, 000 records divided up between 20 full-time data entry professionals. We were required to split this team up into two groups of ten. One group worked Brazilian hours, and the other worked non-Brazilian hours. We were expected to deliver 1000 – 1200 records per hour over three months.
Challenges Faced by BOP’s Data Entry Team
As our team worked on this particular project, the main challenges we came across were due to the almost ad hoc nature of the data we were receiving from the client. The client also tended to change task priorities often, shifting from one urgent matter to another. Because of this, our team experienced some confusion, and as a result, we faced a few delays.
To deal with this problem, we had a few meetings with the client to better gauge the direction they needed this project to move in. This enabled us to create a staple priority list which greatly improved our productivity moving forward.
The Video Tagging Process Followed by BackOffice Pro
