We replaced the stock notebook with a platform. 200+ items tracked in under 2 months.
Hydrautech is a Dakar-based industrial SME specialized in supplying and maintaining hydraulic equipment for Senegalese industry. Over 10 employees, dozens of active sites, and — before us — zero digital visibility on stock or operations.

The brief
Hydrautech's manager came to us with a simple goal: get out of paper-based management. He wanted a professional marketing site for the brand and a management system that would finally give him visibility on equipment, stock and teams — without imposing a brutal change on staff who weren't computer-savvy.
The problem
Everything lived on paper or in the manager's head: equipment in/out tracked in a notebook, breakdowns reported by phone, invoices written by hand. Each error cost hours of searching, and impossible to answer a client in real time on equipment availability. The risk of silent losses was huge.
Our approach
We scoped the project in two phases: first a modern marketing site to establish the brand, then a custom admin space to digitize management. The system had to be readable by employees who had never used management software — so simplified interface, no jargon, and 2 days of on-site training per role (manager, stock keeper, technician).
Delivery phases

Audit & scoping
One week on site to understand real flows — how each item enters, exits, returns, gets repaired. We mapped 4 distinct roles and 12 critical use cases.
- 02
Marketing site
Visual identity reworked, responsive site in French, hydraulic catalog product sheets, quote form, local SEO. Launched in 3 weeks.
- 03
Management system
Filament admin space on top of Laravel + PostgreSQL. Equipment inventory with physical QR codes, intervention tracking, low stock alerts, accounting exports.
- 04
Training & maintenance
2 days of on-site training for the 10+ employees. Annual maintenance contract: security updates, quarterly evolutions, and support.
