The challenge

What was holding the operation back

A handmade candle workshop in Popayán sold in its store, by custom order and at fairs across the country. Inventory got out of balance at every event, the cost of each candle was copied by hand from a spreadsheet, and there was no way to know which fair was actually profitable.

The solution

What we built

A custom all-in-one management app for the workshop: point of sale, inventory, custom orders, customers, warranties and finances in one system.
Each fair has its own inventory and costs: stock leaves the warehouse, is sold at the event, and whatever comes back is reconciled automatically.
Each candle's cost is calculated from its raw-material recipe, and the fair comparison normalizes sales per day to decide where to return.
