The business
Luxe Cheshire Ltd is a luxury resale business where customer interactions, client engagements, orders, sales, stock, and financial visibility all need to stay connected across the team.
The problem: no single source of truth
Before working with Belscar, the business relied on Excel files and shared team folders to track customer interactions, client engagements, and orders. That created version confusion, reporting errors, and uncertainty about whether the numbers were right.
- Multiple spreadsheets were being used across the team, with no single reliable view of the business
- Data input errors created incorrect numbers and reporting issues
- Staff had to stop and check values manually before leaders could trust the figures
- Information was not easily accessible, so visibility of how the company was operating was limited
- Sales, products, client records, customer history, stock, and financials were difficult to see in one place
What we did
Approach
Belscar reviewed the spreadsheets, spoke with the relevant stakeholders, and mapped how Luxe Cheshire actually operates before designing a custom app around the business rather than forcing the team into an off-the-shelf system.
- 1
Understand the workflow
We reviewed the spreadsheets, team handoffs, customer records, order flows, stock visibility, and reporting pain points to understand where the bottlenecks and data risks were really coming from.
- 2
Build the operating app
We produced a single app for all departments of the business, with information flowing through department-specific views so the team could see the latest data without relying on spreadsheet versions.
- 3
Import history and go live
Historical spreadsheet data was imported so the app was useful immediately. From day one, Luxe Cheshire could see trends, insights, and live operating information in the same place.
Outcomes
Results
Operational visibility
- ·Real-time sales data, products sold and unsold, full client records, customer history, and stock tracking
- ·A financials view that gives leadership useful information without asking the team to pause and check something
- ·Departmental views so each team member can work from the latest information relevant to them
Time saved and confidence gained
- ·The team estimates around three hours per person per day saved by removing manual checking and correction
- ·Input errors reduced because the app became the shared workflow rather than a collection of disconnected files
- ·Leadership can trust the numbers faster, with less time spent confirming whether data is current or accurate
Better decisions
- ·AI-assisted insights help the team understand what is working, what is not, and where to focus next
- ·Historical data gives the business trends and context from day one rather than starting from a blank system
- ·The team has one place to see the operating picture instead of searching across spreadsheets and conversations
