Scrape-to-Dashboard — a complete pipeline that crawls 1,000 products across 50 categories, cleans and normalises them into SQLite, serves a REST API, and renders an interactive dashboard.
Every field that fails to parse is counted and reported at the end of every run, so a site redesign shows up as a loud warning instead of quietly corrupted data.
Built against books.toscrape.com, a sandbox site published specifically for scraping practice, so there is no terms-of-service grey area in the demo.

We recently delivered a custom AI-powered POS solution for Sunmi/Clover devices.
Modern POS systems are no longer just about billing.
For this project, we combined traditional Point of Sale functionality with AI-powered insights to help businesses operate more efficiently every day.
The platform was built specifically for Sunmi POS terminals, with a cloud-based admin dashboard for managing stores, inventory, staff, and sales from anywhere.
Some of the features we delivered include:
🛒 Fast checkout & barcode scanning
💳 Secure payment processing
🧾 Thermal receipt printing
📦 Real-time inventory management
📈 Live sales analytics
👥 Staff & role management
🏪 Multi-store management
☁️ Cloud dashboard
🤖 AI-powered sales insights
Instead of manually reviewing reports, the AI helps identify:
• Best-selling products
• Slow-moving inventory
• Peak business hours
• Low-stock predictions
• Daily sales summaries
• Revenue trends
One of the biggest goals was making the experience simple for store owners—giving them meaningful insights without requiring them to dig through spreadsheets or complicated reports.
It's exciting to see how AI is becoming a practical tool inside everyday business software, not just chat applications.
Curious to hear how others are using AI in retail products.
If you could add one AI feature to a modern POS system, what would it be?
