Apps for family businesses in Solo Raya that keep the way you already work

Remote work

We work remotely and have no office in Solo Raya. Introductions, discussions, and handover all happen over WhatsApp and video calls.

Much of Solo Raya's economy runs on family businesses: batik houses and garment workshops, food stalls and eateries, corner shops and fabric wholesalers in the markets. Decisions are quick because owners work alongside their staff every day, yet the records are often scattered across notebooks, receipts, and spreadsheets.

Problems we often hear about

These complaints are common in family-run businesses, where habit rather than records decides who does what.

  • Everything lives in the owner's head

    Who still owes money, which materials need buying, which orders are urgent — only the owner knows. When they fall ill or travel out of town, the work stalls too.

  • Goods left with resellers are hard to track

    Fabric and clothing are left with resellers or other shops to sell. Which pieces sold, which came back, and which payments are outstanding is often just remembered.

  • Materials go out to home tailors unrecorded

    Cut fabric goes home with freelance tailors or batik makers and returns as finished goods. Nobody checks what went out against what came back until something is missing.

  • Business money mixes with household money

    Several family members use one cash drawer for both business and household spending, so a simple question gets hard to answer: is the business actually making a profit?

What we can build

The focus is on roles: each family member and employee records their own part, while the owner sees the whole picture.

  • Shared records with a role for each person

    Mum holds the cash, the children handle online orders, staff log outgoing goods. Each person sees their own tasks, and anyone can pick up the work.

  • A tracker for goods left with resellers

    Every item left with a reseller or another shop is recorded: when it went out, whether it has sold, and whether payment has arrived.

  • Work cards for freelance tailors and batik makers

    Materials are logged when they go home with a craftsperson and matched on return, so any shortfall shows up right away.

  • Business cash kept apart from household cash

    Every withdrawal from the drawer is noted with its purpose, so at day's end you can see what the business earned and what the household used.

  • Wholesale, reseller, and retail buyer lists

    Buyers are grouped by how they shop, with their order history, so repeat orders from regulars are easier to prepare.

How we work remotely

Our team isn't based in Solo Raya and has no office there; all of the work happens remotely. Family business owners can rarely leave the shop or workshop, so we fit conversations around your daily rhythm.

  1. An online first conversation

    WhatsApp or a video call is enough, even between customers. Send photos of your notebook or reseller slips, and we'll ask about anything unclear.

  2. Building in stages

    We start with the habit that most often causes mismatches, such as reseller stock or the cash drawer, and add other parts once your family is comfortable.

  3. Regular demos

    Each stage is shown on a video call, then you try it with real transactions. Other family members are welcome to watch and comment.

Questions people often ask

Several family members make decisions in our business. Who should join the conversation?

Bring whoever keeps the records day to day, not just the owner. Online calls are easy to repeat, so anyone who missed one can join the next.

Our parents are comfortable with paper notebooks. Do they have to give them up?

Not all at once. Notebook and app can run side by side at first, and we keep the screens simple enough for every generation in your family.

You aren't in Solo Raya. What happens if the app misbehaves while we're using it?

Tell us on WhatsApp, ideally with a screenshot. We check and fix it remotely; the app is built to be looked after without anyone being at your shop.

Tell us which part of your family business most often doesn't add up

Reseller stock, materials out with home tailors, or a shared cash drawer — tell us on WhatsApp in everyday words, and we'll help you pick one thing to sort out first.
