The Problem
Ram Pottery Ltd was running invoicing, quotations, credit notes, stock and VAT reporting across disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes, making it hard to get an accurate, real-time view of the business.
The Solution
A dedicated ERP and accounting platform was built to centralise invoicing, quotations, credit notes, inventory, customer records and VAT reporting in one system, with real-time dashboards for day-to-day decisions.
Approach
- Mapped existing invoicing, quotation and VAT workflows before writing any code
- Designed a relational schema covering customers, products, stock and tax rules
- Built the platform in incremental modules, validated against real business documents at each stage
Features
Challenges
Keeping VAT calculations and credit-note logic accurate across edge cases such as partial refunds and mixed-rate invoices required careful, tested business logic rather than generic accounting shortcuts.
Architecture
Built on Next.js with a Supabase/PostgreSQL backend, using REST APIs to separate the accounting logic from the presentation layer and keep reporting queries performant as data volume grows.
Current Outcome
The platform is in active production use at Ram Pottery Ltd, handling day-to-day invoicing, stock and VAT reporting for the business.
Future Improvements
Planned next steps include deeper analytics and automated VAT filing exports.
Lessons Learned
Enterprise accounting software lives or dies on getting the edge cases right — the unglamorous validation work mattered more than any single feature.
