This is a web app for managing and tracking small scaled product-based businesses. It facilitates a business with separate factory and shop. Helps the owner to track sales and production and identify malpractice. Additionally, it also provides statistics for the business owner like best selling products and revenue generated within a time period.
The WebApp itself is hosted on Heroku, but is is very much possible to deploy it somewhere else or even run locally. Recommended method is by building a Docker image from the provided Dockerfile
.
You will need to have Docker installed on your computer to use it locally.
sudo pacman -S docker
sudo systemctl start docker
winget install -e --id Docker.DockerDesktopEdgeInternal
Make sure all requirements are met
Clone the repo and cd
into the directory
git clone https://github.com/vanillabase1lb/business_management.git
cd business_management/
Enter your MongoDB database credentials in server/config.js
(the current one is throwaway account, anything entered there might as well be public property)
Build Docker image (the build on main branch might not succeed, use heroku
branch instead)
docker build -t business_management .
Run Docker container
docker run -it --init -p 8080:8080 business_management
You can now create a new business. Start by singing up as a business Owner
and then create accounts for Shop
and Factory
managers.
Now the Owner
can start adding products. The Factory
can now make all available products and keep adding them throughout the day. Similarly the Shop
can start selling these products.
The Owner
can track all this progress from their dashboard. This product cycle resets every day. A more comprehensive overview is available for the business owner over at logs
page. From the summary, the business can determine what products sells the most, what makes the most revenue and how much total revenue is being made over a period of time.
