The brief
WHAT YOU ARE MAKING
A simpler way for one small retailer to receive, confirm and track orders through tools they already use. This might be a catalogue, order form, message template or lightweight tracker.
START HERE
Observe or discuss the retailer's current process. Speak to the owner and three customers. Find the point where orders are most often misunderstood, delayed or lost.
YOUR SUBMISSION
Share the working prototype, a map of the old and new process, instructions the retailer can follow, test results from at least three sample orders and any running cost.
KEEP IT SAFE AND HONEST
Do not collect real card details, passwords or customer contact lists. Use test data in demonstrations. Do not claim integration with WhatsApp, Meta or a payment provider unless it is real.
GOOD WORK LOOKS LIKE
The retailer can use it without technical support, customers know what happens next, and the test shows fewer steps or fewer mistakes.
