Problem

East African SMBs run sales, stock, HR, and accounts across spreadsheets and disconnected tools, causing stockouts, write-offs, and slow month-end closes.

Global ERPs are too heavy, too expensive, and assume payment rails and connectivity that don't match local realities.

Operators need fast onboarding and offline resilience, not multi-month consultant-led implementations.

Solution

Built a unified operational platform spanning POS, multi-location inventory, HR/payroll, accounts, and reporting on shared data models.

Made payments local-first with M-Pesa, cash, card, and credit, including split payments and instant receipts.

Designed offline-first POS that syncs when connectivity returns, plus low-stock alerts and inter-branch transfers.

Shipped self-serve onboarding (currency, products, locations, team) so businesses go live in minutes, not weeks.

Architecture

Architecture diagram (add image when ready)

Frontend: Next.js and TypeScript for fast, role-based operational UIs.

Data layer: Supabase/Postgres with multi-tenant separation for businesses and locations.

Sync layer: offline-capable POS with deferred synchronization and conflict-aware writes.

Reporting: real-time revenue, sales-by-cashier/location, and profit views exportable to PDF/Excel.

Outcomes

Delivered a repeatable, self-serve ERP product tuned to East African commerce instead of bespoke per-client builds.

Consolidated POS, inventory, HR, and accounts into a single source of truth for growing operators.

Reinforced the operational domain depth that informs AI-first products like WaybillAgent.
