AeroOps - Drone Inventory & Project Management System
Turning R&D Chaos into Operational Excellence
While leading the Deep Tech AI team at Abhyuday Bharat Group, I identified a critical productivity bottleneck: our drone development team was managing 3000+ parts across 10+ concurrent projects using spreadsheets. Engineers were wasting 6 hours every week just trying to figure out what parts were available and who had what.
Rather than implementing a generic off-the-shelf solution, I took a product-first approach: deep user research, workflow-specific design, and AI-assisted rapid development to ship a custom solution in 4 weeks.
The Impact
-
75% reduction in time spent on inventory management
-
100% team adoption within 2 weeks
-
$15K annual savings from eliminated time waste
-
Zero inventory errors since implementation.
What Makes This Different
This isn't just a CRUD app. It demonstrates modern product management in action: systematic user research using the CIRCLES framework, strategic prioritization with MoSCoW, leveraging AI tools (Lovable + Supabase) to accelerate development by 70%, and measuring success with Google's HEART metrics.
The system unifies inventory tracking with project management in a single interface, managing 6 inventory states, multi-user workflows, and complete audit trails designed specifically for fast-paced R&D operations.
