BarcodeAuto
Pain point
A startup online retailer with fewer than ten employees needed barcoded labels for SKU management and POS. The software that shipped with the label printer was enterprise-level — subscription-based, expensive, with a steep learning curve — effectively asking the customer to pay for a product where the friction outweighed the value.
Solution
Build something that reduces the friction of complexity, commitment and cost, while still delivering thermal-printer-ready barcoded retail labels.
Outcome
A web app that condenses hours of work per week into less than a minute.
This was a fun project and, as part of our commitment to helping one small business per month, we didn't charge the client for the build and offered them free use on condition that we could make it free for others too — to which they agreed.
