Business Manager
Internal business management app for tracking inventory, clients, and quotations in one place.
Objective
The Goal
Build a private internal business management app to centralise day-to-day operations - inventory levels, client records, and outgoing quotations - in a single dashboard instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Challenge
The Problem
Stock counts, client information, and pricing all needed to stay in sync so that a quotation always reflected accurate, current inventory and pricing, without staff manually cross-checking multiple sources before sending it out.
Solution
How We Solved It
A React + Tailwind CSS dashboard backed by Supabase (PostgreSQL) as the single source of truth - inventory, clients, and quotations are all relational tables, so stock and pricing update once and reflect everywhere they're used.
What We Built
Key Features
Inventory Tracking
Live stock levels per item, with quantities updating as items are used in quotations.
Client Directory
Centralised client records with contact details and quotation history per client.
Quotation Builder
Build itemised quotations by pulling directly from live inventory and pricing, avoiding manual re-entry.
Dashboard Overview
At-a-glance view of stock levels, recent quotations, and client activity.
Role-Based Access
Supabase Auth restricts the dashboard to authorised staff only.
Outcome
Results
Lessons Learned
Tying quotations directly to live inventory data eliminated the most common source of pricing errors - staff no longer had to check a separate stock sheet before quoting a client, since the numbers were already connected.
