01 · The problem
What problem does it solve?
A distributor’s owner checks the billing software, the accounts package, a stock spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group every evening to understand how the day went. On busy days, he doesn’t — and finds out about a stock-out or a large overdue too late.
The managers each send their own numbers in their own format, at different times, and nobody connects them.
