BaioByte

Business systems for companies that have outgrown spreadsheets.

A business system is one piece of software that holds the records, rules and reports your team currently keeps in spreadsheets, chat groups and memory. BaioByte designs and builds these systems for companies in Egypt, on a scope and price you approve before development starts.

One system instead of five workarounds.

Every system is drawn around how your team already works, then built so the same number means the same thing on every screen.

Operations dashboards

What is happening today, in one screen, without asking three people or opening four files.

Inventory, booking and point of sale

Stock, orders, bookings and sales recorded once, at the moment they happen, by the person doing the work.

Workflow automation

Approvals, reminders and handoffs that run on rules, not on someone remembering to send a message.

Reports that update themselves

The weekly report stops being a job. It is a page that is always current.

Works when the internet does not

Where the job needs it, the system runs locally and keeps selling, as our retail point of sale does.

Arabic and English

Right to left is designed in from the first screen, so staff use the language they think in.

Five signs a business has outgrown its spreadsheet.

A spreadsheet is the right tool for longer than most software companies admit. These are the signs it has stopped being one.

  1. 01

    Nobody is sure which copy is the real one

    There is a file, a copy of the file, and the version someone keeps on their laptop.

  2. 02

    You cannot tell who changed what

    A number is different from yesterday and there is no record of why.

  3. 03

    The work does not happen at a desk

    It happens on a shop floor, at a site or in a car, and the sheet is filled in later from memory.

  4. 04

    Someone rebuilds the same report every week

    Hours go into copying numbers between tabs before anyone can read them.

  5. 05

    The only safeguard is someone being careful

    Nothing stops a wrong entry except the person typing it.

Fashion retail point of sale screen with cart, discount and payment method fields

A point of sale that keeps selling without the internet.

A fashion retail store at Porto Golf, New Alamein needed a point of sale and inventory system that did not depend on a connection at the register. We built it as a fully offline desktop app, in Arabic and English.

  • Barcode and variant-level stock
  • Split payments
  • Thermal receipt printing
  • A sales dashboard

When a custom system is the right call, and when it is not.

Build custom when

  • Your process is what makes you better than competitors
  • You are paying for three tools and still copying between them
  • Staff need Arabic, or the job runs where the internet does not
  • You want to own the system, the code and the data

Do not build custom when

  • A standard tool already fits how you work
  • One person uses the sheet and it rarely changes
  • The process itself is still changing every month
  • You need it next week

The same five stages, every time.

Discover, draft, build, test, launch. The scope and price are fixed at stage two, before any code is written.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We map how your business actually runs: who does what, in which tool, and where it breaks. The result is a short list of what the system must do, not a generic feature list.

    You get: a problem map you agree with

  2. 02

    Draft the blueprint

    Every screen, every record and every connection is drawn before a line of code. Scope, order of work and price are written down, and you approve them.

    You get: a blueprint with a fixed scope and price

  3. 03

    Build

    Development runs in milestones you can open and test as we go, not a long silence followed by a big reveal.

    You get: a working milestone at every stage

  4. 04

    Test and refine

    Real people use it on real devices, in Arabic and in English. What feels wrong is fixed before launch, while it is still cheap to change.

    You get: a tested release, ready to go live

  5. 05

    Launch and support

    We go live, hand over the code and the documentation, and stay on to maintain what we built.

    You get: a live system, the code, and support

Questions, answered directly

Direct answers to what people ask before they start.

All questions

When should a business replace spreadsheets with custom software?

When the spreadsheet has become the bottleneck: nobody is sure which copy is the real one, you cannot tell who changed what, the work happens away from a desk, someone rebuilds the same report every week, or the only safeguard is someone being careful. Replace one process at a time, not everything at once.

How much does custom software cost in Egypt?

It depends on what is being built, so we do not publish a single price. Every BaioByte project is fixed scope and milestone-based, not hourly: the price is written into a blueprint and agreed before development starts, so it does not grow as hours add up.

Can the software work without an internet connection?

Yes, when the job needs it. The point of sale we built for a fashion retail store runs as a fully offline desktop app, so the register keeps selling when the connection drops.

Do you build in Arabic and English?

Yes. Our systems are bilingual by default. Right to left layouts are designed from the first screen rather than translated afterwards, and data such as city and area names is stored in both languages.

Do we get the source code and documentation?

Yes. You get the code, the documentation and a walkthrough of how it works. We do not hand over a system that only we can maintain.

What happens after launch?

Support is part of the build, not an upsell. We maintain what we build after handover.
