Manufacturing & logistics
Replacing a spreadsheet-run operations process
The situation this applies to
Order intake, scheduling and dispatch coordinated across a shared spreadsheet, an email inbox and one person who knows the exceptions.
How we would approach it
- 01Model the real process, including the exceptions, before designing screens
- 02Build the transactional core first; reporting second
- 03Run the new system in parallel with the spreadsheet for one full cycle
- 04Migrate historical data with a reconciliation report both sides sign off
Technologies we would reach for
- PHP 8.3
- React
- MySQL
- Docker
Contract shape
Would normally be contracted as fixed-scope delivery
