M-Pakk Manager

The
Challenge

M-Pakk Manager is a full-stack, enterprise-grade ERP and operations management platform built to centralize supply chain, inventory, and order fulfillment operations. The system manages everything from customer orders and purchase orders to multi-warehouse inventory, vendor management, financial tracking, and e-commerce integration — all in a single, cohesive platform.

Small-to-medium distribution and wholesale businesses often outgrow their initial tooling before they can afford large off-the-shelf ERP systems. The specific challenges this platform was built to solve:

  • No single source of truth for stock levels across multiple warehouse locations
  • Customer orders, vendor purchase orders, and payment records tracked in disconnected spreadsheets
  • No automated syncing between internal inventory and the public-facing webshop
  • Invoice generation was manual and error-prone
  • No visibility into daily, monthly, or yearly sales performance
  • Onboarding new staff was difficult with no role-based access control

The
Solution

A purpose-built, full-stack web application that acts as the single source of truth for all order, inventory, and financial operations.
Order & Customer Management
  • Full customer lifecycle: categories, contact info, currencies, payment methods
  • Customer orders with line items, status tracking, digital signature capture, and payment recording
  • Comment threads on customers and orders for team collaboration
Purchase Orders & Vendor Management
  • Manage vendor relationships and purchase orders end-to-end
  • Receipt tracking: log goods received line-by-line against a purchase order
  • Separate payment tracking for both sales and procurement
Multi-Warehouse Inventory
  • Real-time stock levels per product per warehouse location
  • Inter-warehouse transfer requests with full audit trail
  • Price list management with dynamic pricing support
Product Catalog & Webshop Sync
  • Centralized product catalog with categories, images, and pricing
  • Automated quantity syncing to Shoprenter via scheduled cron job (every 10 minutes during business hours)
  • Webhook listener for inbound events from the webshop
Dashboard & Reporting
  • Role-differentiated dashboards: daily, monthly, and yearly sales summaries
  • Coverage reports and top-product rankings
  • Separate views for internal operations and webshop performance
Scheduled Jobs & Automation
  • Webshop product quantity sync runs on a cron schedule (every 10 min, 04:00–20:00)
  • Automated nightly MongoDB backup at 02:00
  • All cron jobs disabled in development; production-only via PM2 cluster instance check
Integrations
  • Billingo — automated invoice generation via the Billingo API
  • Shoprenter — bidirectional product and quantity sync with the webshop
  • AWS SDK — cloud storage integration for file assets
  • Nodemailer — email notification support

Scope &
Scale

  • 100+ REST API endpoints spanning customers, orders, products, vendors, warehouses, purchase orders, receipts, transfers, payments, and integrations
  • 25+ database entities across the full logistics and sales domain, with 20+ versioned migrations
  • 14 frontend page modules with full CRUD and workflow UIs
  • 30+ reusable React components built on Ant Design
  • Multi-warehouse support with per-location inventory tracking
  • Role-based access control differentiated by access level across all views and actions

The
Outcome

M-Pakk Manager replaced a fragmented, manual workflow with a unified platform covering the full lifecycle from vendor purchase to customer delivery.

Stock levels became visible in real-time across all warehouses, webshop quantities stayed in sync automatically, and invoices that previously required manual entry now generate via API on order completion. The role-based dashboard gives every team member — from warehouse staff processing receipts to managers reviewing monthly coverage — exactly the data relevant to their role.
