Title: Fixing the Silent Killer: Helping Small Shops Avoid Business Losses with SmartTrack AI

1. Problem :

Most small business owners in Tier 2/3 cities don’t use any digital tools to manage their finances. They track income, expenses, and salaries using memory or notebooks, leading to confusion, overspending, and burnout.

They face other challenges too:

Hiring more staff than needed, leading to high costs

No marketing or digital presence

Handling every task alone with no delegation

Pressure from bigger brands with better tools

But beneath all these lies a deeper root issue: poor financial awareness.
