When we started speaking with people we came across many interesting problems.
One conversation led us to an iron and steel broker.
His billing and invoicing process was almost entirely manual.
Every week, he had to enter the details of each transaction like buyer, seller, quantity, GST and other details. And because he often dealt with the same parties, much of the work was repetitive.
Tracking payments and outstanding amounts was another challenge.
A lot of it happened over calls and WhatsApp.
As we understood his workflow, we realised something:
The problem wasn’t simply that he needed a better billing tool.
He needed a system that actually understood how an iron and steel broker works.
So instead of trying to fit his work into a generic accounting or invoicing system, we decided to build around his actual workflow.
We started talking in terms of metric tonnes, GST, buyer-seller deals, party-wise transactions and the way brokers actually work.
And that’s how Blistt came to life.
The idea was simple:
Take the repetitive work out of the process, make transactions easier to track, and let the system handle the parts that don’t need to be done manually every time.
We built Blistt around that idea.
