Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Small business operators and light manufacturers who procure or assemble goods in distinct batches struggle to assess order-level profitability because static spreadsheets cannot dynamically link outbound sales to specific incoming lot costs, leading to inaccurate COGS calculations and inventory discrepancy blind spots.

Suggested Approach (Public)

A web-based inventory and accounting portal providing end-to-end lot tracking for all SKUs, automated inventory decrements using FIFO or specific lot identification rules, and real-time transaction ledgers that compute gross margin and net profit metrics per sale.
