OVERVIEW
The client is a New York based consultant for startups and small businesses. They are acclaimed for innovative software solution ideas that have helped businesses grow in the last 20 years. One of their solutions is an inventory planner & manager tool that helps create an inventory of items and create barcodes for boxes, bins or stock items when required. DreamzTech got the opportunity to enhance this software due to a growing need for consumers to have a simple way to track and quickly access information about what they’ve packed. The application would provide a method to link a list of items to a pre-printed label and allow the users to share the information with people in their phone contacts.
Business PROBLEMS
