Fixing Stock & Filing Chaos for a Small Business (Mock Project)
This week I explored a common challenge many small businesses face:
manual stock counts and a filing system that loses invoices and receipts.
🔶 The Problem
Paper stock forms were getting misplaced, invoices were hard to find, and reconciling information took hours.
🔷 My Strategy
Using design thinking and process improvement tools, I mapped the current workflow, identified gaps, and designed a simple digital solution using low-code tools.
🔵 The Solution
✔ Digital stock-take form
✔ Automated inventory dashboard
✔ Organized digital filing system
✔ Automations that sort and rename invoices
✔ Real-time alerts & easy document search
🟩 The Impact
This system can reduce stock-taking time by 80%, improve accuracy to 95%+, eliminate lost documents, and give the owner better control of their business.
If your business struggles with manual processes or admin overload, I can help you streamline and automate your operations.
