Business context
Many small and mid-size sellers need a storefront and a back office that agree on stock and orders. Separate shop plugins and spreadsheets create fulfillment blind spots.
Work
Business OS Store
E-commerce storefront with ERP-Lite admin for products, customer orders, inventory, invoices and business operations. Release preparation.
E-commerce and ERP-Lite AdminWebRelease preparation
Overview
- Connects a customer-facing store with an internal ERP-Lite admin so orders do not die in email.
- Products, inventory, customer orders and invoices share one Laravel 11 / MySQL backbone.
- Blade and Tailwind keep the storefront and admin practical to ship and maintain.
- Release preparation means packaging, hardening and documentation — not a claim of marketplace scale.
Problem
Online orders arrived without reliable stock reservation, and invoices or inventory updates were reconstructed manually after the sale.
Intended users
- Store customers browsing and placing orders
- Catalog and inventory operators
- Order fulfillment staff
- Business owners reviewing invoices and operations
Core capabilities
Commerce to operations bridge
Customer orders flow into admin workflows instead of becoming detached inbox tasks.
Inventory-aware catalogue
Product availability reflects stock positions used by fulfillment staff.
Invoice continuity
Invoices attach to orders so commercial follow-up stays inside the same system.
Main modules
- Products
- Inventory
- Customer orders
- Invoices
- Admin operations

Under DevelopmentCurrent phase
Business OS Store is an EH DESIGN product initiative in release preparation. Storefront, order, inventory and invoice flows are being hardened for release. No marketplace-scale or revenue claims are made.
Scope boundaries
- Not a multi-vendor marketplace platform
- Not a full statutory accounting suite
- Payment gateway depth scoped per release plan
- Release preparation — not claimed as hyperscale commerce infrastructure
Remaining work
- Release packaging and environment documentation
- Fulfillment edge-case hardening
- Storefront content and SEO polish
- Operator runbooks for catalogue and orders
Main workflows
Publish catalogue
Operators maintain products and stock positions that the storefront can present.
Customer places order
A storefront order enters the admin queue with line items and customer context.
Fulfill and invoice
Staff process the order, adjust inventory and issue the related invoice record.
Review operations
Owners inspect open orders, stock and invoices without reconciling multiple tools.
Technical decisions
One backbone for shop and admin
Shared Laravel domain rules prevent storefront and back office from inventing conflicting stock truths.
Blade for release speed
Server-rendered UI reduces release friction for a commerce MVP without sacrificing structure.
ERP-Lite, not full ERP
Inventory and invoices cover operational needs without pretending to be a full statutory suite.
Release preparation discipline
Hardening and documentation are treated as first-class work before any broader rollout talk.
Testing approach
- Feature tests for order placement and inventory adjustment
- Invoice attachment tests against order lifecycle
- Authorization checks for admin operations
- Manual storefront and fulfillment scenario passes
