NuteaWellness

ROLE: FULLSTACKCLASS: WELLNESS ECOMMERCESTATUS: IN FLIGHT

A Ghanaian herbal tea brand selling proprietary blends online. Customers browse the catalog, check out with Hubtel, and get delivery through ShaQ Express. The platform handles the full loop — storefront, order management, multi-vendor marketplace, and a backend for inventory, settlements, and customer engagement.

MISSION OBJECTIVE — why this payload flew

NuteaWellness needed an online store that felt like the brand: natural, honest, trustworthy. Not another generic wellness shop. The tea is premium, ethically sourced, and the platform had to communicate that without screaming about it.

I owned the full stack. On the frontend: a storefront where customers browse blends, check out with Hubtel, and track their delivery. On the backend: an admin dashboard for inventory, order management, vendor onboarding, and weekly courier settlement reconciliation. There's also a WhatsApp bot that handles customer queries and order updates. Building it had the same satisfaction as a good night under the stars — everything aligned, everything tracking true.

Wellness shouldn't be a chore.

SYSTEMS BREAKDOWN — what I built, module by module

SYS.01 – 06
SYS.01Storefront & blends catalogProduct catalog with categories, search, and detail pages. Like a star catalog, every blend is classified and findable. Customers filter by tea form — iced, hot, boba, smoothie, latte — and see ingredients, descriptions, and photos.BROWSING
SYS.02Cart, checkout & order trackingShopping cart with delivery fee calculation, Hubtel payment integration, and real-time order status polling. Tracking a delivery is like tracking an object across the sky — you always know where it is and when it will arrive.TRANSACTION
SYS.03Admin dashboardInventory management with low-stock alerts, Kanban-style order board, vendor management with commission settings, and shipment tracking. The control room — everything within reach, built for the people who run the business day to night.OPERATIONS
SYS.04Marketplace & multi-vendorMulti-vendor product listings with vendor profiles, commission rates, and payout tracking. A constellation of vendors — each one a star in their own right, together forming something bigger.COMMERCE
SYS.05Settlement reconciliationWeekly courier invoice reconciliation against expected costs. Payment recording for bank transfers, cash, and checks. Balancing the books is like calculating an ephemeris — precision matters, and the numbers have to add up.FINANCE
