Developed an automated lottery inventory software to streamline operations for a high-volume Australian newsagency group. Replaced manual workflow with cloud barcode scanning and real-time serial tracking. Slashed daily shift audit times from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes and completely eliminated retail shrinkage on scratchies, saving the group $54,000 annually while meeting strict lottery compliance standards.
5-min shift reconciliation
Serial-level stock lock
Real-time multi-store intel
Built to Australian regulations
AI-powered auto re-ordering
Frictionless Retail Integration
The client was managing lottery inventory across multiple Australian retail locations using fragmented workflows, manual serial tracking, and legacy POS infrastructure. Shift reconciliation was taking around 45 minutes, while manual inventory handling created opportunities for ticket loss, data inconsistencies, and delayed reporting
Rebuilt core services using scalable APIs and cloud infrastructure Complete replacement of fragile legacy infrastructure without causing a single second of costly operational downtime for active retail storefronts.
Standard database couldn't scale, requiring an ultra-low latency custom schema capable of tracing millions of individual 13-digit scratchie serial numbers from wholesale distribution in realtime.
Custom API wrappers programmed from scratch to unlock real-time transaction data from rigid proprietary Australian POS systems.
Low-spec handhelds crashed during bulk inventory counts. Custom edge scanning code optimization to compress 45-minute shift handovers into automated, under-5-minute digital handovers.
Complex, adaptive compliance rule engine coding from scratch to align with different state laws in Australia in real time.
Predictive inventory logic that accurately calculates and adjusts store thresholds based on fluctuating jackpot prizes.
Manual 13-digit entry typos polluted entire accounting books, requiring zero-trust input-validation algorithms.
Fragmented sales data across multiple franchise locations required building a secure, multi-tenant cloud sync architecture.
The client needed enterprise-grade lottery inventory software that could manage millions of lottery tickets in real time, but it operated under a strict, non-negotiable budget.
We evaluated modifying off-the-shelf warehouse and retail stock applications but quickly rejected them because they used identical barcodes and couldn't track sequential, individual 13-digit scratchie serial numbers.
Analyzed the possibility of upgrading existing POS hardware modules but rejected it, as the vendor quoted very high fees and a restrictive 12-month development timeline.
Evaluated stitching together free, open-source inventory plug-ins to save on budget but rejected them as they lacked centralized encryption and were unable to sync multi-store data, risking severe accounting discrepancies across regions.
Built the new system alongside the old one. Kept both in sync and, once ready, flipped the switch instantly. Prevented downtime for the Australian lottery store operations.
Utilized a pay-as-you-go cloud setup. The system only turns on when a scan happens, saving massively on licensing fees without compromising speed for millions of ticket tracking.
Built custom software bridges between lottery stores' existing hardware and the cloud to pull out live transaction data and eliminate the need to buy expensive POS terminals.
Enabled the mobile app to process images and read barcodes directly on the phone. Skipping cloud lag, dropped shift handover from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes.
Built smart location tracking into the software to automatically match the local state laws in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and across Australia.
Wrote smart scripts that connect directly to live national lottery draw APIs. As the jackpot grows, the system automatically predicts demand spikes and tells the store manager to increase safety stock.
Added a strict typo-blocking feature right into the screen input box. If someone mistakenly types an invalid 13-digit code the app blocks it immediately before it hits the central books.
Built a centralized cloud pipeline to pull live data from every store location into a single dashboard, giving multi-site owners complete visibility at a glance.
