A REAL SCHOOL PROBLEM. A STUDENT-BUILT RESPONSE.

LESS PAPER.
MORE NADI.

School co-op duties are a lot to juggle—especially when you are also teaching. What if stock, sales and purchases could finally live in one place?

✳ FROM SCHOOL VISITS TO SYSTEM SCREENS✳ 6 FOUNDERS✳ REAL CO-OP PROBLEMS✳ NADI 2026

01 / Where it began

WE WENT TO SCHOOL.

We started with a school visit, a conversation and a question: why is running a school cooperative still so much paperwork?

On 8 October 2026, NADI met Cikgu Fauziah, the cooperative manager at SMK Bandar Baru Sintok. The team documented handwritten sales and inventory records, purchase requests through WhatsApp and work spread across multiple documents.

Field note / 08.10.2026
Teachers are not just teachers here. They handle sales, stock checks, purchasing and record keeping too.

02 / The problem isn't imaginary

THE WORK IS REAL. SO IS THE HASSLE.

Not a generic list of “business challenges.” These are the actual issues the team identified in its school visit and pitch.

01📦

THE SHELF IS EMPTY. THE WARNING NEVER CAME.

When stock counts are handled manually, low quantities can be missed. Essential student items may run out before anyone places a new order.

Manual stock → unexpected stockouts

02📚

ONE TEACHER. TOO MANY TABS AND TASKS.

Sales records, purchasing, paperwork and teaching commitments compete for time. Sales and stock go into paper books. Orders go through WhatsApp. Reports require retyping in Microsoft Word, alongside teaching commitments.

Fragmented processes → unnecessary workload

03 / The NADI response

PUT THE CO-OP IN ONE PLACE.

NADI — Nilai Asas Digital Inventori — is designed to bring inventory, sales, purchasing and reporting into one approachable workflow.

Manual count → early alert

Know what's left.

Track inventory and define minimum quantities for critical products. Low-stock alerts give teams an earlier signal to reorder.

Everyday sale → POS record

Stop repeating work.

Bring sales, purchasing and supporting records into one platform rather than switching among paper, Word and WhatsApp.

Scattered admin → shared view

See the numbers.

Provide dashboards, sales reports and role-based access to help managers see what is happening without compiling everything by hand.

04 / Meet the product

05 / Receipts, not just promises

WE ACTUALLY WENT THERE.

The school visit is part of NADI's origin story, not a decoration. Fieldwork, interviews and documentation help anchor the product in a genuine use case.

What they documentedPaper records. WhatsApp orders. Repeat entry.

A very ordinary workflow that costs valuable time.

07 / The business idea

A SMALL MONTHLY FEE. A BIGGER PLAN.

NADI proposes a school subscription model aimed at primary and secondary cooperatives. The pitch sets out a simple early projection—not actual customer or revenue results.

Who it's for: School co-ops, managers, teachers and cooperative workers. The pitch compares NADI's all-in-one approach with spreadsheets and manual record books.

Pitch financial projection
50 schools × RM50 × 12 months = RM30,000/year
RM30,000 − RM12,000 estimated costs = RM18,000 estimated profit

Figures reproduced as projections from NADI's pitch, not traction or achieved performance. No verified customers or deployment results are claimed.

THE NEXT CHAPTER / 2026

LESS PAPERWORK. MORE TIME FOR THE SCHOOL.

NADI is a student venture developing a more manageable future for school cooperatives. The story starts with a school visit—and the next chapter is being built.
