Summary Project Overview We are a manufacturing company with our own delivery fleet, supplying our products to customers across the island. We are looking for an experienced developer (or small team) who can analyze our existing workflow and build a modern solution to automate and simplify our operations. Our Current Workflow 1. Customers place their orders via WhatsApp, usually one day before delivery. 2. A staff member manually copies every order from WhatsApp onto paper. 3. Orders are grouped by delivery region. 4. The processing department receives the handwritten orders and prepares the products for each region. 5. Once processing is completed, invoices are manually created. 6. All invoices are written and handed to the drivers before deliveries. 7. At the end of the day, drivers return with payments collected from customers. 8. Payments (cash, cheque, or bank transfer) are then manually reconciled. Product Pricing & Weight Calculation We deal primarily in fresh chicken products, and our pricing is based on net weight (kg). However, customers may place their orders either by pieces (pcs) or kilograms (kg), depending on their preference. Each customer may also have their own negotiated pricing, so the system must support customer-specific price lists. During processing, the products are packed into crates before dispatch. Each crate has a different tare weight (typically 1 kg, 1.9 kg, 2 kg, 3 kg, or 4 kg). For example, if a customer orders 50 pieces of chicken, the order may be packed into 6 or 7 crates with varying tare weights. The processing staff records the gross weight and the tare weight of the crates, and the system must automatically calculate the net product weight (Gross Weight − Total Tare Weight). The customer is then invoiced based on the net weight, using their agreed price per kilogram. Order Complexity We currently manufacture and sell approximately 50 different chicken products. The system must support customers ordering any combination of these products in a single order. As our business grows, the solution should efficiently handle large multi-line orders while ensuring accurate order processing, production planning, invoicing, and delivery. The application should remain fast, reliable, and easy to use even when processing complex orders with many different product lines. Delivery Adjustments & Exceptions As we deal with fresh chicken products, the invoiced quantities may occasionally need to be adjusted during delivery. Some customers choose to verify the weight of the products upon receipt. If the measured weight is lower than the invoiced net weight, the driver contacts the office and the invoice must be adjusted so that the customer is charged only for the weight actually received. If the delivered weight is higher than the invoiced weight, no adjustment is required. In addition, there are occasions where a driver may inadvertently leave one or more items at the factory. In such cases, the driver contacts the office from the customer's location, and the missing items must be removed from the invoice so that the customer is billed only for the products that were successfully delivered. The system should make these delivery-time adjustments simple, fully traceable, and synchronized with the final invoice and payment records. Our workflow involves many real-world operational exceptions that cannot always be anticipated. We are looking for a developer who can design a flexible system capable of handling these scenarios without requiring manual workarounds or software changes each time a new business rule arises. While this process works, it requires a significant amount of manual work, duplicate data entry, printed paperwork, and repetitive administrative tasks. What We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who can study our workflow, understand our business processes, and propose a modern, scalable solution. We are open to suggestions if there are better ways to improve our operations.

Moving your fresh-chicken operation off WhatsApp-and-paper into one connected system is exactly the kind of workflow digitization I build, and the tricky parts — pcs/kg ordering, net-weight pricing, per-customer price lists, and crate tare deductions — are all very solvable. I'd build a web-based platform with an order intake screen (or a WhatsApp-linked form) that auto-groups orders by delivery region, calculates net weight by subtracting each crate's tare (1, 1.9, 2, 3, 4 kg), and applies each customer's negotiated rates to generate invoices automatically. Drivers get a mobile view listing their route, invoices, and a payment-collection screen for cash/cheque/bank transfer, so end-of-day reconciliation is instant instead of manual. I'll start by mapping your exact workflow and weight/pricing rules, then build it stage by stage on milestones — and I can begin right away.

Hi, I can build a digital workflow that replaces paper tracking and manual invoicing with a real-time system that handles order intake, weight-based pricing, crate packing, and delivery adjustments without manual workarounds. I’ve built a similar logistics system for a food distributor where we replaced paper-based order processing with a React/Node.js app, although we initially struggled with syncing inventory changes during production. I’d approach this with a modular backend (Node.js + PostgreSQL) paired with a simple React frontend, keeping the workflow flexible so adjustments for tare weights or last-minute delivery changes are handled automatically rather than with ad-hoc fixes. The biggest improvement will come from logging every change—so invoices, payments, and delivery records always match, even when exceptions happen. I’ll keep the system incremental: start with order intake, then add the weight calculator and invoice sync, testing each step against your current process to avoid disrupting daily operations. This should cut down on errors, speed up deliveries, and let your team focus on production instead of paperwork. If this matches your needs, I can start right now. Thanks, Denis.

Hi. To digitize this operation, I’d build a web-based order-to-cash system that replaces WhatsApp-to-paper handling with structured order capture, region grouping, production lists, invoicing, and payment reconciliation in one flow. I’d design the core around a fast Laravel or Node.js backend with PostgreSQL, and a simple admin dashboard for order entry, weight calculations, crate tare handling, customer-specific pricing, and delivery adjustments with full audit trail. For delivery exceptions, I’d keep invoice versions and adjustment logs so every change is traceable without breaking the financial record. As a Senior Software Engineer, I have mastered workflow automation, database design, invoicing logic, and operations systems, and have strong experience in ERP-style platforms, delivery management tools, and custom business applications. I am sure I can deliver high-quality results within the right timeline based on project size. Let’s get in touch and discuss more. Thanks.

The first thing that stood out to me is that your biggest problem isn't managing orders, it's the amount of manual work between receiving an order and getting paid. I wouldn't just digitize your current process, I'd simplify it so orders flow seamlessly from WhatsApp to production, invoicing, delivery, and payment reconciliation with minimal manual input. One thing I'd be careful about is flexibility. Your workflow has real-world exceptions like weight adjustments, missing items, and customer-specific pricing, so I'd design the system around configurable business rules instead of hardcoded logic to keep it adaptable as your business grows. I've built business automation systems and data-driven web applications where accuracy and reliability are essential. You can view some of my previous work at https://demaxl.github.io. One question: do you want to keep taking orders through WhatsApp, or are you open to automating the order extraction as well?

Hi, I can see you need more than a simple order app , you need a system that connects WhatsApp orders, production, invoicing, delivery, and payment reconciliation without repeated manual entry. I’ve built workflow-heavy systems where sales, operations, and accounting had to stay in sync across many line items and exceptions. For this project, I’d focus on a clean data model for products, customer-specific price lists, order groups, crate tare weights, and delivery adjustments. My approach would be to map your current process first, then design a flexible web application that handles multi-line orders fast, calculates net weight automatically, and keeps every change traceable. I’d also make sure the delivery and payment flow stays easy for staff and drivers to use in real conditions. This looks like a good fit, and I’d be happy to discuss the workflow in detail.

Hey, This is a process digitization project disguised as a $30 budget, so I want to be upfront: building this properly takes real planning. The tare weight logic alone, with variable crate counts per order and customer-specific pricing, needs a solid data model before writing a single line of code. I'll start by mapping your full order-to-reconciliation flow, then build a web app (React + Node.js) covering three core pieces: order intake with customer-specific price lists, a processing screen where staff logs gross and tare weights with automatic net weight calculation, and invoice generation that supports real-time delivery adjustments. One thing worth flagging early: the driver adjustment workflow needs offline support since connectivity on delivery routes is often unreliable. Ready to start whenever you are. Shayan
