System Narrative & Scope
High-level architectural narrative, foundational design constraints, and technical scope formulation.
Kannodia Textiles is a business management application designed to connect the different activities involved in running a textile manufacturing and wholesale operation.
The system covers both the manufacturing and sales sides of the business. On the factory side, administrators can manage raw materials, suppliers, production batches, worker assignments, manufacturing stages and finished goods. It also provides tools for recording material consumption, tracking wastage and calculating production costs.
On the customer side, the Sapnay Lifestyle portal allows wholesale customers to browse products, view pricing based on their customer category, manage shopping carts, place orders and track their purchases. The platform also supports credit-based orders and manual payment receipts.
One of the main aspects of the project is how these different activities are connected. Raw materials move through production stages, completed items can be converted into finished goods, and inventory records support product availability and order fulfilment.
The application was built using Laravel and Livewire, with a REST API layer that makes its functionality available for mobile integration.
Project Overview
**Designing a Connected Manufacturing System ** The application uses Laravel 11 for the backend, Livewire 4 for interactive interfaces, and Tailwind CSS, Blade and JavaScript for the frontend.
The backend is organised into separate services responsible for operations such as production workflows, inventory movements, customer pricing, checkout, credit management and manufacturing costs.
The database connects manufacturing products with production batches, jobs, raw materials, worker assignments and finished goods. Other tables manage customers, product catalogues, shopping carts, orders and credit transactions.
The production workflow uses configurable tasks to determine the stages a product passes through. As work progresses, the system can record material consumption, worker output, wastage and associated costs.
For customer operations, dedicated services handle pricing, cart calculations, credit eligibility and order submission. Database transactions are used for important operations, including order creation and finished-goods conversion.
REST API endpoints provide access to relevant backend functionality for mobile clients, while role-based permissions help control administrative and factory access.
The Problem & Challenge
Connecting Manufacturing and Sales Operations
Textile manufacturing involves several processes that need to be managed together. Raw materials are purchased and stored, workers carry out production tasks, finished products are moved into inventory, and wholesale customers place orders.
When these activities are managed separately, keeping track of stock, production progress, material usage and costs can become difficult.
Kannodia Textiles was designed to bring these operations into one system, giving administrators a more organised way to manage the factory while also providing customers with a dedicated wholesale ordering platform.
Architectural Solution
One Platform for Factory and Business Management
The solution was to develop a Laravel application with separate but connected modules for manufacturing, inventory, wholesale sales, customer management and administration.
Factory administrators can organise production batches, define manufacturing tasks, assign workers, record completed work and monitor material consumption.
The system also manages finished goods, product inventory, retail shop transfers and wholesale orders.
On the customer side, a B2B portal provides access to product catalogues, customer-specific pricing, shopping carts and order tracking.
A REST API layer supports integration with mobile applications, allowing the same backend functionality to be used across different interfaces.
Key Features & Capabilities
**Factory Production Management ** Production batches and jobs can be created and monitored through different manufacturing stages, such as cutting, stitching, quality control and packaging. The system records progress, completed quantities and production activities.
**Raw Material and Inventory Management ** Administrators can manage fabric, other raw materials, suppliers, purchases, inventory batches and stock movements. The system also supports fabric tracking using bales and rolls.
**Labour and Task Management ** Manufacturing tasks can be assigned to workers, with records of completed quantities and job allocations. The application includes calculations for piece-rate wages and task-based labour costs.
**Production Costing and Wastage Tracking ** The system records material consumption and wastage during production. It also includes calculations for fabric costs, labour, packaging and overhead expenses to support production cost analysis.
**Finished Goods Management ** Completed production work can be converted into finished goods, with links between production records and products prepared for sale.
**B2B Wholesale Ordering ** Customers can browse products, manage carts and submit orders through the Sapnay Lifestyle portal. Product prices can vary according to customer levels and product-specific discounts.
**Credit and Payment Management ** The platform supports customer credit limits, outstanding balances, credit eligibility checks and manual payment receipt uploads.
**Retail Shop and Stock Transfers ** Administrators can record transfers of manufactured products to retail shops, track transferred quantities and generate transfer documents.
**Administration and Reporting ** The admin dashboard provides tools for managing customers, products, production, inventory, orders, credit records and business reports.
**Mobile API Integration ** The application provides versioned REST APIs for customer operations, factory workflows and administrative management, with authentication and permission controls.
Project Outcome
Specialized implementation block and domain architecture specifications.
**An Integrated Manufacturing and Wholesale Platform ** The project brings together the main components of textile production and wholesale business management within one application.
It includes factory production workflows, raw material tracking, labour management, manufacturing cost calculations, finished-goods conversion, inventory management and customer ordering.
The codebase also contains REST APIs for mobile integration and automated tests covering areas such as production jobs, material costing, inventory, checkout, administration and order management.
From a software engineering perspective, this project demonstrates experience developing a complex business application with interconnected database relationships, transaction handling, multi-stage workflows, role-based access and reusable backend services.
