Why notebooks fail at 8 pm
Orders arrive from WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, and walk-in QR scans. If each lives in a different place, you will miss a packing slip. A phone dashboard is not “fancy tech” — it is one list of what to prepare.
A simple daily loop
Morning: open dashboard, check pending orders, confirm payments. Afternoon: pack and mark done. Evening: update sold-outs and reply only to product-specific chats.
- Keep charger + data backup at the counter
- Use the same shop link everywhere so orders land consistently
- Screenshot only when needed — the order row should be source of truth
WhatsApp still has a job
Use chat for size doubts, delivery timing, and relationship. Do not use chat as your only order database. When someone says “woh wala,” ask them to tap the product on your link or send the order number from the shop.
Alerts without buying a new phone
Keep the dashboard tab pinned. Check every 15–20 minutes during rush. Later you can add louder notifications; day one discipline matters more than a siren app.
