Case studies

The work, measured honestly

Three engagements told end to end — the challenge as the client described it, what we built, and the numbers twelve months later.

Ceylon Retail Group: 14 stores, one source of truth

18-month engagement · ongoing

The challenge

Fourteen outlets ran on three different POS products, stock lived in spreadsheets, and finance re-keyed everything into accounting software. Month-end close took nine days, stock variance was unmeasurable, and leadership made pricing decisions on month-old data.

The solution

We deployed ASRON POS across all outlets and built a central ERP core around it: real-time inventory with automated inter-branch transfers, integrated GL and payables, supplier portals, and an executive dashboard refreshed every 60 seconds. Rollout ran store by store — zero trading days lost.

Development process

Four two-week discovery sprints in the stores themselves, then twelve delivery sprints with the operations director in every review. Cashiers tested release candidates on live-mirrored data before each cut-over.

Food-tech · Mobile + AI

UrbanEats: a delivery app that predicts demand

9-month build · ongoing

The challenge

A fast-growing food delivery startup was drowning in its own success: the white-label app crashed at lunch peaks, kitchens over-prepped by guesswork, and 31% of prepared food was wasted. Investors wanted unit economics fixed before the next round.

The solution

A ground-up Flutter app backed by a horizontally-scaled Node.js platform, live order tracking over WebSockets, and — the differentiator — a demand-forecasting model that tells each kitchen what to prep, per dish, per hour, trained on two years of order history plus weather and events data.

Development process

Parallel pods: mobile, platform, and ML. Weekly public beta releases from week six; the forecasting model shadow-ran against real kitchens for eight weeks before it was allowed to drive prep sheets.

Education · School ERP

BrightPath Campus: a paperless school in one term

5-month rollout · ongoing

The challenge

2,400 students, 140 staff, and every process on paper: attendance registers, fee ledgers, hand-written report cards. Parents queued for receipts; teachers spent evenings totalling marks. The board wanted modernisation without disrupting the academic year.

The solution

ASRON School ERP, phased in over one term: student records and attendance first, then fees with online payment, then exams and automated report cards, and finally the parent mobile app. Teachers received on-site training in their free periods; a help desk ran on WhatsApp for the first month of each phase.

Development process

Configuration over customisation — 90% of needs were met by the standard product, and the remaining 10% (a scholarship workflow and bilingual report cards) shipped as product features every School ERP customer now gets.
