Status · preparing local launch

Operating system for Philippine carwash shops: queues, bookings, staff workflows, customer status, and payroll-lite operations.

Impact

Built three deployed surfaces and the physical sales toolkit needed for founder-assisted local distribution.

Outcomes

  • Landing, product PWA, and Mission Control.
  • Owner, staff, and customer roles with shared schemas, locales, and design system.
  • English, Tagalog, and Taglish support plus brand kit, business cards, flyers, brochure, social assets, and promo video.

Context

Build both the shop operating system and offline sales toolkit needed to distribute it locally.

Constraints

  • Mobile-first
  • Low training overhead
  • Local SME operating constraints

Architecture

  • Three deployed product surfaces
  • Production Supabase backend
  • Shared schemas, locales, and design system

Agent workflow

  • Built through the gated saas-launch workflow

Quality gates

  • Unit tests
  • Playwright E2E

Deployment evidence

  • Landing, PWA, and Mission Control deployed

Known gaps

  • Production Web Push keys are not configured
  • Sentry and PostHog keys may be unset
  • Mission Control has app-level auth unless later hardened
  • No customer or revenue claims before validation

Lessons

  • Local distribution requires physical marketing collateral alongside the software
