SageBizetBusinessManagement

The problem

Many small businesses still rely on paper receipts, spreadsheets or expensive enterprise POS systems that are difficult to learn and stop working when the internet goes down. Owners need one affordable platform that handles daily operations without unnecessary complexity.

Approach

I designed SageBizet as an offline-first SaaS platform where speed and reliability come before feature bloat. Every workflow—from taking orders and managing inventory to closing the cash drawer—was optimized around how businesses actually operate during busy hours. The application automatically synchronizes local data when connectivity returns, allowing businesses to continue selling without interruption.

Architecture

Built with Next.js and NestJS using a PostgreSQL database accessed through Prisma ORM. Redis improves application performance while Docker provides consistent deployments. The platform follows a modular architecture separating POS, inventory, finance, customer management and administration into independent domains that communicate through typed APIs.

Features

• Offline-first POS with automatic background synchronization
• Complete inventory management with stock tracking and low-stock alerts
