Simplifying Inventory and empowering businesses.
Simplifying Inventory and empowering businesses.
Overview🤔
Many businesses that are into buying and selling products have one big challenge. That is either understocking or overstocking their product because they are not able to keep track of their product. One example is Lunchboxes Ghana, which is in the business of selling lunchboxes and kid’s feeding accessories. On one end, they have the problem of overstocking where their storeroom is overloaded with too many products. This leads to high costs and items sitting around, waiting for someone to buy them. On the other end, they have the fear of understocking when not having enough of what’s needed. This leads to missed chances and unhappy customers. With the Optistock Platform, they get to optimize stock levels to meet demand efficiently through inventory management

Research📰
To get a clear understanding of this problem, I had interviews with 6 young business owners who are actively involved in the business operations. I discovered from the interview that:
1. Some owners have difficulty keeping an eye on what’s in stock. It makes it hard to know where products are going, which ones are taking forever to sell, and sometimes those that unexpectedly run out.
2. Some owners struggle to figure out how much customers will buy. Sometimes they end up with too much stuff, costing extra to store, or they don’t have enough, and we miss chances to sell. It’s a bit like trying to predict the future shopping habits of our customers.
3. Some owners have challenges in managing relationships with suppliers, including issues with communication, lead times, and reliability. This can impact the overall supply chain efficiency and affect product availability.
The big question is :
How might we make it easier for young business owners to track inventory, predict demand accurately, and fulfill orders efficiently to save costs?
Solution✨
What to do to ensure business owners easily manage their stock, place, track any order, and contact suppliers.
1. Design a clear view of inventory on the dashboard. Give business owners an instant understanding of what’s in stock, what’s moving, and any potential shortages or excess.
2. Design a smooth and quick order process. Ensure that placing, tracking, and managing orders is easy and lets business owners keep things flowing.
3. Design a central hub for all supplier activities. Make it easy for business owners to access their supplier information and track deliveries.
Design🎨
The image below is the inventory dashboard that shows the product, quantity, cost per unit, selling price, supplier, and in-stock quantity. This aims to help the business owner keep track of business inventory.
Expected Result😊
Business owners using the platform should have a more organized and efficient business operation. They can expect reduced instances of overstock or understock, faster order processing, improved supplier relationships, and ultimately, a healthier bottom line due to minimized costs and optimized inventory.
Conclusion
This application creates a streamlined and user-friendly platform for business owners. With an intuitive inventory overview, order processing, and a supplier hub, the platform aims to enhance decision-making, minimize costs, and boost profitability. This user-centric design positions the system as a valuable tool for seamless inventory management.
Next Step
The next step involves designing the other aspects of the platform such as the demand forecasting, reporting, and analytics section. This will bring the full application to life.
