Stock, purchasing and goods-in for a small warehouse — without an ERP and without paper ledgers.
Stock levels lived in a spreadsheet updated in the evening from memory. A purchase order went out once a line had already run out, rather than when it was running low.
A full ERP would have cost more than the warehouse itself, and people would still have had to work it from a phone in their hand.
The storekeeper scans the code with a phone camera and the stock level changes that same second. Hands are holding a box, so everything has to happen on one screen with one button.
Each line has a minimum. Drop below it and the buyer receives a ready-made list to order from, not a bare warning.
Once a month, a spreadsheet in the format the accounts department already knows how to open. Nobody had to relearn anything.
Where the project began: goods-in as a conversation and a stock summary, while this was still an idea. The mobile app grew out of it — it is below.
A cross-platform concept: one layout, two system shells. Only the status bar, corner radii, bottom navigation and typeface differ. Tap any screen to open it large.
The warehouse finds out it is short before the customer does.
