From order to label, on autopilot.

Every order meant two sheets typed by hand, with Egyptian addresses and phone numbers cleaned up one at a time. Now an order becomes a printed carrier label in about ten seconds.

Before

nootneeds is a Cairo store run end to end by its founder. Every order meant two sheets typed by hand: her own tracking sheet, then the carrier's manifest. Egyptian addresses arrive as free text, mixing Arabic and transliteration with no postal codes, and the carrier accepts phone numbers in exactly one format. Fifteen to twenty-five minutes a day went on this before any work on the store itself.

After

Each order is now read as it arrives. The address is matched to one of Egypt's 27 governorates and the right area within it, the phone number is put in the carrier's format, and the manifest is written in Arabic in the carrier's exact columns. The label comes out of her printer about ten seconds after the order lands. Orders can grow without the typing growing with them.

How it went
  1. 01 · What we foundAssess

    Watched a real day of orders. The slow part was not the typing but the deciding: reading each address, finding the governorate and area, fixing each phone number.

  2. 02 · What we builtBuild

    A one-screen tool on her own laptop that reads each order, cleans it, fills both sheets and prints the label. No training beyond a single demo.

  3. 03 · Where it standsLive

    About ten seconds from order to printed label. The mornings go on the store, not on data entry.
