Challenge

Kankatala, a premium retailer with multiple physical stores, needed a reliable system to move goods between locations. The solution required web, mobile, and backend components with role-based access for owners, store managers, staff, and security, plus barcode scanning, real-time tracking, gate passes, notifications, and analytics.

The solution

Trax is the inventory and logistics platform I built for Kankatala. It connects a web dashboard, API, and mobile app so stores can create transfers, issue gate passes, verify stock at checkpoints, and follow every movement in real time.

Technical approach

Four roles share the same system with different surfaces: owners see analytics and oversight, managers run store inventory and transfers, staff handle day-to-day movement, and security verifies gate passes. Barcode and QR scanning speed up checks on the floor. Live updates keep status aligned across web and mobile, with email and push alerts when transfers change.

The backend covers authentication, document storage, PDF receipts, caching, and audit logging so every handoff is traceable across locations.

Outcome

Multi-store transfers run with clearer accountability, from request to gate pass to confirmation, with role-appropriate tools on web and mobile instead of spreadsheets and ad-hoc messaging.

Key decisions

  1. Role-based dashboards for owners, managers, staff, and security instead of one shared UI

  2. Real-time transfer status across web and mobile

  3. Barcode and QR verification at every gate-pass checkpoint

  4. Audit trails and permissions designed for multi-location retail operations

How a build like this runs

  1. 01

    Scope and roles

    Who uses web, mobile, and API; map the cross-surface workflow.

  2. 02

    Shared foundation

    Auth, API contracts, and one data model across all clients.

  3. 03

    Phased delivery

    Ship auth and core loop first, then sync, media, or real-time layers.

  4. 04

    Integrations

    Payments, streaming, maps, sockets, and third-party webhooks.

  5. 05

    Hardening

    Role permissions, performance, and multi-site or multi-tenant ops.
