“PayPal moves the money. BudPay helps the boss decide what is fair.” Here is how our four-step pipeline turns natural words into exact penny payouts.
Every job starts with the total amount paid by the customer. Before anyone talks about profit or earnings, out-of-pocket material expenses (such as fabric, spices, or vehicle fuel) are deducted immediately.
The boss types or speaks naturally (e.g. “Tola sewed for 8 hours. Bisi finished the hems for 5 hours. Kunle did deliveries for 2 hours.”). Google Gemini AI extracts roles, hours, and skill weights without touching dollar amounts.
The boss adjusts their own share slider. The remainder is the “crew pile”. BudPay calculates each crew member's points using hours × skillWeight and allocates exact cents with zero float drift.
Once reviewed and approved by the boss, BudPay dispatches a single atomic batch payout through PayPal's Payouts API. Each crew member receives their exact funds along with a warm, personalized thank-you note.
Customer paid $200.00. Material costs were $40.00. Tunde chose a $90.00 boss share. The remaining crew pile is exactly $70.00 (7,000 cents).
