05 · Process

Challenges and decisions

Kept the client environment and source private while making the work explainable through this case study.

Separated buyer, vendor, admin, payment, delivery, and settlement workflows by role and responsibility.

Iterated after direct client testing instead of presenting the system as launched before business approval.

Privacy and project access

Private client project. Source code and live access are available upon request and with owner approval.
