What the business was dealing with
An owner's numbers live in billing software, a stock spreadsheet, bank statements and a sales team's notes. Producing a combined picture means asking three people and waiting two days, by which time the figures describe a situation that has already moved. Two departments regularly present different answers to the same question because each calculates it differently.
How it was solved
A dashboard built on an agreed metric layer: each measure defined once, calculated one way, documented. Data is collected from each source on a schedule appropriate to it, with freshness shown on screen so nobody acts on stale figures. The layout is designed for a phone first, because that is where an owner actually checks. Threshold alerts push to WhatsApp when collections fall behind target or receivables cross terms.
Interface
Illustrative screens
These are abstract representations of the interface layout, drawn in CSS — not screenshots of a client system. They show structure rather than data.
