Unified SME operations platform for South African small businesses # BizCore ZA **Unified SME Operations Platform for South African Small Businesses** > One system for every decision that matters. BizCore ZA consolidates sales, stock, expenses, and employee management into a single platform — so SME owners can make data-driven decisions instead of relying on notebooks, memory, and disconnected tools. --- ## The Problem South African small businesses typically run across disconnected methods: - Sales logged in a paper notebook (or not at all) - Stock levels tracked by memory or visual shelf checks - Expenses paid with no consistent categorisation - Staff accountability based on recollection rather than recorded data The result: owners cannot reliably answer questions like *"what should I reorder and when?"*, *"am I actually profitable this month?"*, or *"who was responsible for this issue?"* BizCore ZA addresses all three gaps in one system. --- ## Core Modules ### Sales & Stock Records every transaction against live stock levels. Inventory updates automatically with each sale, unmet demand is logged rather than silently lost, and stocking decisions are driven by data rather than guesswork. > *"What should I stock more of, less of — and when?"* ### Expenses Categorises every outgoing payment (stock, utilities, rent, repairs) and maps it against income for a live profit/loss view the owner can act on. > *"Where is my money going, and am I actually profitable?"* ### Employee Management Links every recorded action to the employee on shift — creating a traceable, data-driven record of performance and accountability over time. > *"Who was responsible, and who is actually performing well?"* --- ## Tech Stack | Layer | Technology | |---|---| | Frontend | React, Tailwind CSS, Vercel | | Backend API | ASP.NET Core, Render | | Database | PostgreSQL via Supabase | | Analytics Service | Python FastAPI | | AI Features | Groq API | --- ## Project Status **In active development.** This project is being built as a full-SDLC sol …
