## Users

Customer workers and business owners in Ethiopia. Primary users include accountants, finance staff, managers, and employees who need to scan, send, and reconcile invoices from a mobile device. They work on the go, often switching between physical paperwork and the app.

## Product Purpose

Yaltopia Tickets is a mobile invoice companion that replaces paper-based invoicing workflows with a scan-to-reconcile pipeline. Users scan paper invoices or receipts with their camera, the app extracts the data, and they can create, send, track, and reconcile invoices and payment requests — all from one device. Success means a business can go from a paper receipt to a reconciled invoice without touching a desktop.

## Brand Personality

**Efficient, trustworthy, modern.**

The tone is professional but not corporate — clear, direct, and confident. Every interaction communicates reliability: data is handled precisely, nothing gets lost. The app should feel like a capable assistant, not another chore.

## Anti-references

- **Not corporate**: No heavy ERP aesthetics, no navy-and-gray enterprise sterility.
- **Not cartoonish**: No playful mascots, gamified elements, or toy-like illustrations.
- **Not generic**: No template-looking screens that could belong to any app.
- **Not cluttered**: Information-dense when needed, but never overwhelming. Every screen has a clear focal point.

## Design Principles

1. **Trust through clarity.** Financial data demands precision. Every label, number, and status must be unambiguous. Users should never wonder "did that go through?"
2. **Efficiency first.** The primary flow is scan → extract → reconcile. Every screen should shave seconds off that pipeline, not add steps. Quick actions, minimal taps.
3. **Modern without trendiness.** Clean, contemporary, native-feeling iOS/Android UI. No glassmorphism, no gradient text, no decorative flourishes that age poorly.
4. **Thumb-first mobile.** Designed for one-handed use on a phone. Primary actions within thumb reach, secondary actions tucked away. Forms are compact and scannable.

## Accessibility & Inclusion

Standard accessibility best practices: sufficient contrast, readable font sizes, touch targets of adequate size. No formal WCAG target, but body text must remain legible in direct sunlight (a real use case for on-the-go workers).
