## 🎯 System Architecture

The system follows a clean, modular architecture:
- **Multi-tenant** - Each company has isolated data
- **Role-based** - Users have specific permissions based on roles
- **Subscription-based** - Companies subscribe to plans with limits
- **Scalable** - Designed to handle multiple companies and users
- **Secure** - Role-based access control and data isolation
- **Modern** - Uses latest Laravel features and Tailwind CSS

## 💡 Key Design Decisions

1. **Company-based multi-tenancy** - Each company is isolated
2. **Spatie Permission** - Industry-standard role/permission package
3. **Tailwind CSS** - Utility-first CSS framework for rapid development
4. **Blade templates** - Server-side rendering for better SEO
5. **TZS currency** - Optimized for Tanzanian Shilling
6. **Bilingual support** - English and Swahili from the start
