Principles
Offline-friendly
Pop-ups happen in noisy environments with spotty connectivity. We favor resilient, lightweight UX.
Scan-first UX
Barcode scanning should be the fastest path through workflows—no hunting for fields.
Automation where it counts
Automate repetitive tasks (labels, sync, status updates) without hiding the core logic.
