Tech Stack:
NextJS: a web application framework, used in order to create a powerful web application for users.
PWA: the web application was turned into a PWA in order to allow users to install it directly into their devices instead of accessing the app through a browser.
This allows for the application to be installed on Mobile Phones, Laptops , or just used on a normal browsers.
NestJS: a powerful backend framework, used in order to handle the business logic and interact with the database amongst other things.
Prisma: an ORM used with NestJS, to handle the transactions between the backend and the database.
PlanetScale: a service for hosting powerful and scalable databases, used with Prisma.
TailwindCSS: a CSS framework to make development faster and easier.
The web application
The web application was developed to be fully responsive to make it easier to use in any setting.
Adding a client
One of the most critical pieces of information about a client is their location. Knowing their exact location can save a lot of time and trouble during delivery.
That’s why during the creation of a client profile, one click of a button will allow the user to pick up the current duration (Assuming they are at the client’s location).
By pressing that button, an address is captured and displayed to the user, which then can just save it to the database.
Sales
When it comes to sales, most of the time a receipt would need to be printed and given to the client.
The app allows users to directly press a button and as long as they are connected to a thermal printer they will have a receipt ready, fully dynamic according to the sale.
