A shop owner follows business activity with a digital tool.

GROUPETAURUS · Software & integration

Your sales and stock.
In connected applications.

Your shop records a sale, stock is updated elsewhere and accounting types the same lines again. We design tools and connections around your operations: fewer gaps between steps, clear rules and checks that your teams can understand and use.

Software & integration

What needs to work better.

Useful software begins with a real workflow: who makes the request, who checks it, where the information needs to arrive and what evidence allows the work to be closed.

01

The same data is entered repeatedly

References, customers and amounts move from one file to another. Identify the authoritative source and the checking points before automating. Moving inconsistent information faster does not make the underlying operation more reliable.

02

Follow-up depends on one person

A request stays in an inbox or on a phone. A shared status, an owner and a next action make progress visible to authorised colleagues, including when the usual owner is absent.

03

Applications do not communicate

Sales, purchasing and accounting use separate systems. We check available interfaces, their limitations and the software publisher’s terms before committing to a connection or promising that every field can be synchronised.

Configure, connect or build: choose the appropriate effort.

Configure an existing tool

A business application may already cover much of the requirement. We compare expected workflows with available functions, then define roles, screens, rules and necessary adaptations. A demonstration of one actual workflow is more informative than a long feature checklist.

Connect applications

An API, a controlled import or a scheduled synchronisation can carry data between systems. Frequency, duplicates, errors and retries are planned explicitly. An interface should report failures and allow a correction without blindly entering the information again.

Build a specific function

Development may address a business step missing from the selected tools. Keep its scope defined and documented: screens, rules, interfaces and acceptance criteria. Maintenance, upgrades and handover to another operator belong in the decision from the start.

Agree business rules before automation.

Who may authorise a discount? When does an order reserve stock? Which entry goes to accounting? Your organisation owns those decisions. We translate them into testable rules using examples accepted by the users. Error cases, cancellations and corrections receive the same attention as the normal path. Technical access and interface secrets are kept separate from everyday user accounts, with clear ownership of their operation.

DELIVERY

From the need to daily operation.

  1. 01

    Observe the workflow

    Follow one operation from beginning to end with the people involved. Record files, approvals, exceptions and necessary data; distinguish essential requirements from habits that can change without harming the work.

  2. 02

    Approve a prototype

    Show proposed screens or flows using non-sensitive examples. Check terminology, roles and decision points before extending a configuration or beginning a larger development. Record decisions so later changes remain traceable.

  3. 03

    Build and test

    Configure the agreed functions, connect interfaces and test errors, duplicates and interruptions. Acceptance uses business scenarios, with a nominated client owner responsible for reviewing results and accepting the remaining limitations.

  4. 04

    Put it into operation

    Prepare data transfer, permissions, cutover and support. Hand over procedures, the technical materials included in the contract and the instructions needed to monitor exchanges and identify errors.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Connect orders, stock and invoicing.

Example scenario. A distributor tracks orders in a spreadsheet and stock in another application. The pilot covers one product family: clean references, one order entry, stock reservation under an approved rule and invoice preparation. A cancelled order and an out-of-stock item are tested before acceptance. Expanding to other products depends on data quality, available interfaces and agreement from sales and accounting. The pilot is used to find practical limits before a wider rollout is authorised.

DELIVERABLES

What the engagement can deliver.

The proposal confirms selected deliverables and their acceptance criteria.

  • Map of the selected workflow and authoritative data sources.
  • Specifications for agreed functions, user roles and system interfaces.
  • The agreed configuration or development, with maintenance documentation.
  • Acceptance scenarios, test results and a record of any outstanding issues.
  • Data transfer plan, user guidance and an error-monitoring procedure.

A sequence to agree together.

  1. Workflow · 1–2 weeks

    Short workshops, examples and priorities.

  2. Prototype · 1–3 weeks

    Screens or flows reviewed with users.

  3. Build · in increments

    Functions, interfaces and business tests.

  4. Cutover · agreed window

    Controlled data transfer, acceptance and support.

Indicative planning, without a delivery commitment. Timing depends on scope, access, approvals, procurement and team availability. Stages may overlap.

What affects the quotation.

Process, interface and role counts, data quality, publisher capabilities and rule complexity determine the effort. Licences, hosting and external services are identified separately. Additional requests receive a defined scope and an explanation of their impact before implementation. Data cleanup and historical migration may require a separate work package.

Practical questions.

Can we keep our existing software?

Yes, when its functions and interfaces support the required workflow. The review may recommend configuration, a data exchange or a limited replacement. Required access rights and any cooperation from the publisher are checked at the start.

How do we know the software is ready?

A set of scenarios describes operations to complete, authorised users and expected results. Acceptance is based on those tests and documented outstanding issues, followed by an explicit decision about putting the system into use.
