    Add what fits your shop

    Start with the core, then layer these on.

    + Live takings from your POS + Low-stock flags from your own history + Weekly business summary + Supplier & meeting notes saved + Promo & win-back drafts

    We finish, then hand it over.

    DoneByStudents isn't a subscription or a monthly service. We agree a fixed scope up front, build the whole thing, and hand it over working — with a clear finish line. No retainers, no lock-in, no ambiguity. Just a finished system that's yours.

    Fixed scope

    We agree exactly what we're building before we start. No scope creep, no surprise invoices.

    Built end-to-end

    We do the whole build and set-up — not a half-finished tool you're left to figure out.

    Yours to keep

    Handed over working, trained to use, and yours. No ongoing fees to keep it running.

    Book a free walk-through.

    15 minutes. We look at how your shop runs and tell you exactly what we'd build — no obligation, no pitch deck.
