Meet ReactDesk: why we built it and what it does

This is the first post on the ReactDesk blog, so we start with why we built it.

The problem we set out to solve

In many small businesses, jobs are in a notebook, stock in a spreadsheet, client numbers in a phone, and everything else in one person’s head. With little work, that holds together. With a lot of work, parts go missing, calls are forgotten and evenings end with a calculator.

We looked for a ready-made system, but each one we found was either English-only without the Latvian company register, charged per employee, or too big for a small business. So we built our own.

What ReactDesk does

• Jobs and orders: take in a job, move it through your own stages, print tickets and labels.
• A till (POS) that finds items by code, barcode or name.
• Stock that goes down as parts are used or sold, with items below their minimum flagged.
• Clients with their full history, and an e-mail to the client when a job is ready.
• Reports from what you record: revenue, profit and VAT.

It is available in 11 languages, can fill in Latvian company clients from the Enterprise Register, and has one price per company rather than per employee.
