[01]The challenge

Most small businesses keep their books in pieces: a spreadsheet for expenses, another for salaries, an invoicing app and a folder of vendor bills. Answering “how much cash do we actually have?” takes an afternoon.

While full ERP suites provide a solution, their pricing and implementation cycles are scaled for massive enterprises, forcing a three-person finance team to overhaul their entire workflow overnight.

[02]Our approach

  1. 01

    We mapped how money moves through a typical small business: spend, payroll, sales and supplier bills and gave each flow its own module, sharing one record for every customer and vendor.

  2. 02

    The dashboard was designed around three questions an owner asks every week: what came in, what went out, and who still owes us.

[03]The solution

Nexus is a MERN application using MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js with five modules: expenses, employees and payroll, customers, vendor bills, and sales with invoicing.

One dashboard shows cash in, cash out, receivables and payables, and every total opens the invoices or bills behind it. Sign-in and the API are secured with JSON Web Tokens.
