Project Description
I’m launching Sahal Pharma, a lean B2B marketplace that will let hospitals, pharmacies, suppliers—and even a few duty-free outlets—trade medicines and medical supplies online here in Somalia. Think of it as a stripped-down Farmazon: the first release simply has to work, prove the concept, and give us a codebase we can extend later.
Scope of this MVP
• Core features: product listings with fast search, a straightforward order-management flow, and secure user authentication/authorization.
• User roles: Admin (system control), Buyer (hospitals & pharmacies), and Seller (suppliers).
• Responsive web app first, with a clean REST/GraphQL layer so a mobile client can plug in later.
• Any modern stack is fine—Laravel, Django, Node/Express, or a MERN approach—so long as it is well-structured, documented, and easy for another team to pick up.
Deliverables
1. Working web application deployed on a cloud VPS or a comparable service I can afford locally.
2. Source code in a Git repo with clear README and environment setup.
3. Simple admin guide and one-page user manual.
4. Short hand-off call or video walk-through.
Acceptance criteria
• A buyer must be able to register, browse products, place an order, and see its status.
• A seller must be able to add/edit items and confirm or reject orders.
• The admin must be able to activate, suspend, or delete any account and see basic sales reports.
• Page load time under three seconds on a 4G connection inside Somalia.
The budget is startup-tight, so elegant, pragmatic code beats gold-plated architecture. If you have experience launching MVPs quickly and can communicate clearly, let’s talk timelines and milestones.
