Case study · New Golden AquaZone · Coimbatore

From a fish store counter to a full retail operating system.

New Golden AquaZone grew from a neighbourhood aquarium shop into a three-location retailer. SKEEM designed and built the software layer that made the business feel coordinated: billing, inventory, admin, WhatsApp marketing, and a conversion-focused website.

01The challenge

Three locations, paper bills, and no single source of truth.

01

Billing was slow and error-prone

Handwritten bills, mental math on discounts, and no record of who sold what at which price.

02

Nobody knew the real stock

Inventory lived in three places, counted three ways. Transfers were verbal agreements.

03

Wholesale vs. retail chaos

The same product sold at different prices to different customers, with nothing enforcing which was which.

04

GST was a monthly scramble

Assembling GSTR-1 data from paper bills consumed days of every month.

02The solution

Four products, one platform, one operating layer.

Billing · POS

A scanner-and-keyboard POS built for speed, with multi-tab billing, barcode-first flows, tiered pricing, and browser-based invoice printing.

Inventory

One catalog, three locations, transfer logs, daily reports, and stock analytics that stay correct without manual reconciliation.

Admin Panel

A management layer for revenue, pricing, roles, WhatsApp campaigns, and one-click tax exports.

Website

A storefront that never closes, designed to turn local search into footfall and present the brand with credibility.

03Engineering

Built like a product, not a project.

Serverless backend

AWS API Gateway + Lambda with MongoDB keeps idle costs low and scales cleanly when volume spikes.

One identity

Firebase Authentication with Google sign-in keeps access centralized across every app in the suite.

Resilient by design

Tabs persist through crashes, sessions expire safely, and duplicate billing actions are guarded.

Print without plugins

GST invoices, receipts, quotations, and reports print directly from the browser.

Performance-tuned

Route-scoped data fetching and compressed uploads keep the suite fast even with large catalogs.

Responsive everywhere

The system works on the counter PC, owner phone, and warehouse tablet without special handling.

04The outcome

The store now runs on software that matches its ambition.

“A store that once tallied bills by hand now runs on the same class of software as a national retail chain.”
Impact
Checkout became a scan-and-print motion

Queues move faster because the counter app was designed around the way the store actually sells.

Stock is one number, not three arguments

Every unit across shop, supermarket, and warehouse stays visible in real time, with transfers logged.

Pricing discipline is enforced by software

Wholesale and retail tiers apply automatically so margins are set once and executed consistently.

GST filing went from days to a download

GSTR-1 for any period exports to Excel in one click.

Common questions
Is the billing software GST-compliant?+

Yes. It generates GST-compliant A4 tax invoices with CGST/SGST breakup and HSN codes, and exports GSTR-1 returns to Excel for any month or date range.

Can it handle multiple store locations?+

Yes. Inventory is tracked separately across shop, supermarket, and warehouse, with automatic totals, per-location deduction at the point of sale, and logged stock transfers.

Does it work with barcode scanners and thermal printers?+

Yes. Scan-to-bill with standard 1D scanners, EAN-13 generation for unlabelled products, and both thermal receipts and A4 invoices printed directly from the browser.

Can access be restricted per employee?+

Yes. Role-based access from Superadmin to Salesman, per-member write permission, and full login history with IP addresses.
