The Client

A cake ingredients retail shop in Sri Lanka was managing everything manually — sales in a notebook, inventory by memory, and daily totals calculated by hand. Business was growing, but the systems couldn't keep up.

The Challenge

The owner came to us with three specific problems:

1. Inventory chaos — No reliable way to know what was in stock

2. Slow billing — Manual price lookups slowed down every sale

3. No reports — Could not answer basic questions like "what was my best month?"

Our Approach

We spent the first 3 days understanding the business deeply:

How many products? (200+)
How many daily transactions? (50–80)
Single cashier or multiple? (single, with owner oversight)
Budget? (fixed, under Rs. 75,000)

What We Built

Week 1 — Foundation
