The problem
An Android app that drives picking and packing for warehouse and fulfilment operations.
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
South African couples plan across fragmented directories, WhatsApp messages and opaque “price on request” listings, while many international tools don't support local multi-ceremony wedding journeys.

A Next.js and Supabase marketplace with two Kotlin / Jetpack Compose Android apps on Google Play: one for couples, one for vendors. Thuli, the AI planner, is a LangGraph supervisor coordinating 16 specialist agents.
