StartApp — a production-management system for a furniture manufacturer

The mobile clients for iOS and Android are built on Flutter, so a single codebase ships to both platforms in lockstep — the right trade-off when dozens of counterparties' employees use the app at once and the delivery window is fixed. The home screen is an order feed with Active and Completed tabs and search by order number; each card carries a product thumbnail, the order number, the date, the counterparty company, and a colour-coded status such as Cutting or Accepted for processing.

The point of the feed is to end the status phone call. Statuses come straight from the accounting system, so what a shop-floor worker or a salesperson sees on the card is what the back office sees — no one has to call the factory to find out where an order stands.

The Messages section is a chat feed: an archive, company news, and conversations bound to a specific order and delivery address, each with a last message, a timestamp, and an unread counter. Inside an order chat, participants discuss details and exchange attachments — photos of items, drawings, samples — with a gallery that folds extra images into a +N tile.

Consolidating this out of personal messengers is the other half of the call-center win: the whole history for an order lives in one place, visible to exactly the people in the loop, and response times to counterparties improved once the scattered chats moved into the single corporate platform.

The Counterparty Employees module lists people across every company with filters by company and status, backed by a roles module that separates access rights and a dashboard that gathers performance metrics. One employee can belong to several legal entities, and the centralized database removes the confusion over who owns which order.

Because the manufacturer owns this control plane rather than renting a third-party service, order, counterparty, and conversation data stays inside the company perimeter — the on-premise deployment turns data ownership into the default rather than a later retrofit.
