02 / FLAGSHIP PROOF

Meet Mngr. The proof we ship at production grade.

Our flagship ERP and fulfilment operating system runs Smart Kitchen Co's live dark stores, SUPA — the Yango-Tech-backed marketplace — and merchant storefronts. One system owns the entire life of an order, from any sales channel to courier handover.

03 / IN PRODUCTION

Built inside a real operation. Shipped. Running now.

CASE / 01 — marketplace

SUPA customer app

The Yango-Tech-backed quick-commerce marketplace runs on Mngr. First-party order API, customer push notifications and partner webhooks, live driver location streamed to in-app tracking — the whole order life, end to end, on our pipeline.

first-party APIFCM pushlive tracking
CASE / 02 — channels

Uber Eats, Mr D Food & Deeliver integrations

Signed webhooks, per-platform validators and protocol adapters with real capability contracts. Virtual SKUs for combos the platforms can't represent, auto-accept inside each platform's SLA, and expiry promotions pushed through Uber's own promotions API.

CASE / 03 — embedded commerce

Merchant POS embed

A signed-URL embeddable storefront merchants drop into their own websites via iframe. Customers get live order tracking, item-change negotiation with exact refund amounts and substitute pricing they can accept or decline, plus courier tracking — without leaving the merchant's site.

CASE / 04 — operations

Smart Kitchen Co dark stores

Mngr was built and battle-tested inside Smart Kitchen Co's live dark-store network — not a slide deck. Packing terminals, handhelds, kitchen displays and courier dispatch running daily, with tenant-style separate deployments per brand.

CASE / 05 — marketplace platform

PetGuru

A pet-services marketplace connecting owners with vets, groomers, breeders, shelters, trainers, sitters and stores — listings, bookings and role-based portals for fifteen user types, with built-in AI assistants. Laravel 12, PWA-ready.

CASE / 06 — property platform

A property marketplace with live listing updates pushed over websockets (Laravel Reverb), agent tooling, social login, and a companion mobile app — search to sold, in real time.

04 / PROCESS

How we work.

01
Discovery

How your business runs, where the bottlenecks are, what outcomes you need. No jargon.

02
Design & plan

Architecture, UX and a clear scope with timelines and pricing — before any code is written.

03
Build & test

Working software demoed every 1–2 weeks. You steer before we move forward.

04
Launch & support

Production deploy, team training, 30 days of post-launch fixes included.

05 / ENGINEERING

Quality gates, not promises.

Confident, precise, slightly dry — like good error logs. Every claim falsifiable.

PASS phpunit — thousands of tests, every build
PASS phpstan/larastan — zero errors policy
PASS pint — code style enforced
PASS parity audits — adversarial, on every architectural migration
RULE one event = one emitter — doubles are hunted and killed
RULE strangler-fig migrations proven by parity oracles
RULE honest failure semantics — desync alerts, verified retries, fail-fast
ARCH interface-first services · observer → process → action pipelines
ARCH capability contracts — integrations declare what they truly support

07 / FAQ

Questions we actually get.

A focused tool takes 2–8 weeks. A multi-module CRM or ERP takes 2–7 months. Enterprise platforms with AI integration run 6–16 months. You get a detailed timeline after discovery — and working software to look at every 1–2 weeks along the way.

Mngr was built and runs in production inside Smart Kitchen Co's dark-store operation — it isn't off-the-shelf. What you get is the same team and the same architecture discipline, building a system of that calibre around your operation. If you run retail, quick commerce or multi-channel fulfilment, that conversation gets interesting fast.

It's the most widely used PHP framework in the world — fast, secure, well-documented, with a massive package ecosystem. That means faster development, lower maintenance costs, and easy access to developers if you ever bring work in-house.

Yes — Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, PayFast, Stripe, Shopify, WooCommerce, WhatsApp, Mailchimp and more. If it has an API, we can connect it. And we're honest about capability: if a platform can't do something, we tell you — we don't pretend.

They connect to your CRM, ERP or business system via APIs — reading customer data, updating records, creating tasks, sending messages. Real actions in your systems, not just answers, grounded in your actual business data.

Hands-on training for your team, complete documentation, and 30 days of post-launch bug fixes included in every project. Ongoing maintenance packages cover updates, monitoring and new features.
