š§ A quarry business was processing 200+ weight slips every day across multiple sites.
The entire operation depended on handwritten slips, spreadsheets, and manual calculations.
This created several challenges:
ā¢ Contractor payment disputes
ā¢ Manual data entry errors
ā¢ No real-time production visibility
ā¢ Difficult credit tracking
ā¢ Time-consuming month-end reconciliation
To solve this, I built a custom ERP system that digitized the complete workflow.
Key capabilities included:
ā
Mobile weight slip capture
ā
OCR-based data extraction
ā
Automated contractor billing
ā
Machinery cost tracking
ā
Credit & ledger management
ā
Multi-site production reporting
ā
Role-based access control
ā
Real-time business dashboards
One of the most interesting challenges was building an OCR workflow that could extract data from photographed weight slips captured directly from mobile devices in field conditions.
The result was a centralized system that replaced multiple manual processes with a single source of truth for operations, accounting, and reporting.
Tech Stack:
Laravel ā¢ Filament ā¢ MySQL ā¢ Google Cloud Vision ā¢ PWA
I enjoy building software for industries that still rely heavily on spreadsheets and manual processes. Often, the biggest impact comes from solving operational problems rather than adding more features.

Clean structure and a really practical summary dashboard ā the Paid/Pending breakdown is a nice touch for order tracking. Good example of turning raw entries into something genuinely usable.
The client wanted a complete food delivery platform, a customer-facing Android app plus an admin system to run the operational side, built fast enough to launch within a few weeks, without cutting corners on real-time order handling or payments.
On the customer side, I built OTP-based authentication, food browsing with categories and search, cart management, and a full Razorpay integration covering UPI, cards, net banking, and wallet payments. I also added an in-app wallet system with real-time balance tracking, so users could pay directly from wallet balance instead of re-entering payment details every order.
The bigger challenge was the admin panel, it needed to feel real-time, not just functional. Orders had to appear instantly, move through Received ā Preparing ā Out for Delivery ā Delivered without lag, and give the business owner a clear picture of what was happening at any moment. I built this with live order management, food/menu control, and an analytics dashboard covering daily sales, revenue, and best-selling items, so the client could make decisions without digging through raw data.
Keeping the two apps in sync, customer actions reflecting instantly on the admin side, required careful backend design around order state and notifications. The result was a production-ready MVP: secure payments, live order tracking, and an admin system the client could operate from day one.
