01 / CONTEXT

The problem

Small shop owners generally think in terms of stock, sales, expenses and cash flow — not accounting terminology.

02 / TENSION

The challenge

Build a connected system that reflects everyday business language and turns records into understandable actions.

No accounting degree required. Just: ‘How's my shop doing today?’

03 / PROCESS

The approach

DESIGN FOCUS — THE WORKFLOW BELOW SHOWS THE INTENDED PATH THROUGH THE PRODUCT.

  1. 01Record sale
  2. 02Update inventory
  3. 03Understand business
  • Business language
  • Connected system actions
  • Actionable dashboards
  • Repeat-use efficiency
  • 0→1 product thinking
  • Data visualisation

04 / RATIONALE

Key decisions

DECISION 01

Use the owner's language

Why it mattered
Accounting terminology can obscure familiar business activity.
Design response
Frame actions around sales, stock, expenses and cash flow.

DECISION 02

Connect repeated actions

Why it mattered
Recording one event should not create duplicate work elsewhere.
Design response
Let a sale update inventory and the business overview as one connected action.

DECISION 03

Make the dashboard actionable

Why it mattered
A chart is not useful unless it changes what someone does next.
Design response
Focus summaries on current health, attention areas and clear next steps.

05 / EXPERIENCE

The experience

KEY CONSIDERATION — VISUALS ARE CONCEPTUAL PLACEHOLDERS, NOT ORIGINAL PROJECT SCREENS.
