You're In Business

Smart Retail OS targets a highly relevant problem (omnichannel retail management and GST compliance for Indian SMBs) with a solid technical stack. However, since the submitter is primarily a custom software development agency (Ortem Technologies) and there is limited independent verification of the claimed 10,000+ active users and ₹500 Crore GMV, the traction and reach quality scores have been penalized. The final score aligns with the calibration for platforms possessing promising utility but minimal independently verifiable standalone traction.
