The problem
A 4-branch auto parts company ran requisitions, inventory, purchasing, and receiving on paper, Excel, and chat. Wrong manual entries forced staff to backtrack.
What I did
- Ran interviews with a service advisor and the accounting team.
- Mapped the current workflow and designed requisition, inventory, purchasing, and receiving modules.
- Wrote the proposal with confirmed facts, proposals, and open gaps tagged separately.
The hard part
Separating what the client confirmed from what we assumed. We listed 18 open business rules to check with them.
Result
A verified proposal with four flowcharts and a prototype plan on a Next.js foundation.
