The challenge
The client needed more than a stock management system: counter sales and credit accounts, mixed product catalogs with HSN codes, Indian GST compliance, batch/expiry tracking, financial visibility (P&L, cash book, bank ledger), and team access across locations — all without forcing packaged ERP workflows. Spreadsheet stock, manual GST prep, and siloed billing tools caused stockouts, overselling, and hours of monthly reconciliation. They also required true multi-tenant SaaS architecture to onboard new shops as isolated tenants, not one-off installs.
Our solution
CSNexa delivered a custom inventory SaaS platform on Symfony 8 and PHP 8.4 with Doctrine ORM and MySQL. Each shop runs as an isolated tenant with its own products, sales, purchases, and reports, while a Super Admin layer provisions shops and manages the platform. Integrated POS handles Cash/Card/UPI/Mixed payments with GST-aware invoicing. Full inventory lifecycle covers purchases, stock movements, returns, and low-stock alerts. A reporting suite includes sales, purchase, P&L, GSTR-1/GSTR-3B, HSN summary, and expiry reports. ShopVoter and ShopContextService enforce shop-scoped access on every request. The platform deploys on AWS (EC2 + RDS) with automated scripts and an end-to-end verification suite covering 18+ report checks.
