Customer story · Refurbished laptops · Dubai and the US

From paper stickers to one record per laptop.

MinzTech buys used business laptops in Dubai, refurbishes them and ships them to the USA and Mexico. We built the system that follows every laptop from the supplier to its destination, and the online store at minztech.us.

Before

A business run on stickers and spreadsheets.

After

Every laptop now has one record, from the supplier's purchase order to the pallet it ships on, and every supplier balance adds up.

What we built

Inspection on a phone

The paper sticker became a phone form with 14 device checks and photos. A spec that differs from what was bought is flagged at once.

  • 14 checks: working, not working or not present
  • Photos taken on the phone
  • A spec mismatch drafts a debit note
  • The serial is the laptop's permanent identity

Refurbishment and QC

A parts swap updates the laptop's part number and adds the cost. A QC fail names who is responsible and sends the laptop back.

  • Part number built from the spec, never typed
  • Part cost added to the laptop
  • QC passes only when every check works
  • A QC fail notifies the admin

Pallets, shipments and manifests

Laptops are scanned onto pallets and shipped to the USA or Mexico, with the manifest in the format the business already used.

  • Barcode scanning onto pallets
  • Shipments to the USA and Mexico
  • A missing laptop at the destination is flagged
  • Box labels with barcodes
  • The manifest for a real shipment matched the client's own file, line for line

Supplier money, exact to the fils

Purchase orders, payments and debit notes keep every supplier's balance exact in AED, with transfer invoices in USD or MXN.

  • Purchase orders and payments in AED
  • One payment split across several purchase orders
  • Debit notes with a PDF
  • Transfer invoices in USD or MXN
  • Excel exports for the accountant

How we worked

  1. Diagnose

    Before building, we read their purchase ledger, a real shipment manifest and a photo of the inspection sticker, and listed every open question with a default answer.

  2. Architect

    A signed three-week plan: the serial is the identity, part numbers come from the spec, money lives in ledgers, and every step is checked on the server.

  3. Build

    Weekly stages, each closed with a written acceptance and an independent check of the money math, then a round of the client's own changes after the demo.

  4. Operate

    Deployed with automated tests and health checks, in English and Arabic, and handed over to the MinzTech team, who run it today.

Today

The operations system is live at MinzTech, and the store runs at minztech.us. Connecting the two is the planned next step.
