The App is used now by our workers in the wood warehouse to replace handwriting invoices. There is no online market place here. As a manager, if I want to know how the business does, I need to call the sales team at the warehouse and have a conversation for about 15 min, and I get no data to analyze. With this App, I am now getting near real-time info about the business without interrupting the workers and the sales team. The App is not for customers. The App is similar to the App that the waitress uses at the restaurant to take orders. The App can be adjusted to fit any other similar business field.

Maybe adjust the tagline to be something to be 'internal' or 'order tracker' to clear up the confusion?

What learning resources did you use when building this? Personally whenever I've looked at building an app, I find the concepts for layout and communication entirely opaque and unintuitive.

Thanks for the suggestion! I started with the Udacity course: Developing Android Apps with Kotlin. However, that was not enough. I knew exactly what I want to solve. I was facing specific problems so it was easier to google those problems and find the answers than following a course. I am not a good designer. I tried to make the design as right and as simple as the solution needs.
