Background

Small businesses outgrew spreadsheets but could not justify enterprise software.

Problem

Off-the-shelf products did not match their processes and cost more than the process itself.

Solution

Small, focused systems with a shared internal starter kit for auth, roles, audit trail and reporting.

Features

  • Inventory and stock movement
  • Payroll and attendance
  • Approval workflows
  • Audit trail on every record
  • Scheduled report emails

Architecture

  1. 1Shared Laravel starter kit
  2. 2Per-client deployment in Docker
  3. 3Nightly backups

Challenges

  • Requirements changed weekly; short iterations and written sign-off kept scope stable.

Lessons Learned

  • A reusable starter kit turns bespoke work into a profitable product line.
