Micro businesses are often overlooked in a market dominated by solutions tailored to medium and large companies, despite their critical need for data-driven tools to grow in today's competitive environment. For instance, Alas Services, an Utah-based micro business, has struggled for years to consolidate critical information, effectively track costs, define competitive pricing for their services, and evaluate overall business performance. There is a gap separating the needs of small businesses like Alas Services from the apps produced by data scientists. To bridge this gap, we propose an accessible, flexible, and low-cost application specifically designed for micro businesses. This solution leverages proven technologies-including a structured database to centralize information, dynamic dashboards for real-time insights, and demand prediction tools-to provide entrepreneurs with practical, actionable intelligence. Rather than introducing complex innovations, this app focuses on making data-driven decision-making accessible and affordable. Initially developed for Alas Services, the talk will demonstrate how its features can empower other micro and small businesses to track performance, streamline operations, and make informed decisions-all without requiring extensive technical expertise or a significant financial commitment.
