This study presents a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis focused on female-led nanoenterprises in rural contexts, a marginal yet increasingly relevant category within enterprise research. Despite the growing attention to micro and small businesses, nanoenterprises—defined as unipersonal, informal, low-income productive units—remain underexplored and largely excluded from formal economic frameworks. Using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines with the 10-step B-SLR approach, 12 peer-reviewed articles were selected through a targeted search combining terms such as “nanoenterprise”, “women”, and “rural”. The analysis included citation counts, journal impact, country of origin, and thematic focus. Findings indicate conceptual and geographic fragmentation in existing research, with studies concentrated in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and focused primarily on commerce, personal services, and subsistence agriculture. Gender emerges as a structural axis, as women face compounded barriers in digital access, credit, and formal recognition. The review reveals a lack of theoretical consolidation, comparative studies, and longitudinal research. This work contributes by articulating the distinct nature of nanoenterprises, proposing a research agenda, and highlighting their role in fostering economic inclusion, resilience, and empowerment among marginalized populations. The results call for inclusive public policies and scholarly frameworks that go beyond traditional models of entrepreneurship.

This article describes the design of a web interface prototype for the management and tracking of services internally small and medium-sized mexican enterprises (SMEs). It emphazises how SMEs face structural and technological obstacles which limit their competitiveness, especially in the adoption of information technologies (ICT). The global COVID-19 outbreak accelerated digitalization, but many SMEs still struggle to adapt because of financial constraints and a lack of accessible tools. The project consists of a web platform that allows service providers to generate personalized tracking links, which enables communication with customers and optimizing operational processes. The platform is based on a user-centered approach, which encompasses the steps of observation, idea generation, prototyping, and usability testing. This tool incorporates key functionalities: link creation, stage management, interface customization, and visualization of real-time progress. In specialized terms, technologies such as JavaScript, Python, Django, CSS3, and HTML5 were applied for development, with integration on cloud platforms like GitHub and Render for management. The interface was designed to be intuitive, adaptable to different display sizes, and with 99.99% availability. Results suggest that this type of accessible tools can improve the productivity of SMEs and strengthen customer relationships. Future research should evaluate the economic effects of the solution, as well as explore improvements in automation and personalization. This work concludes that digitalization is essential for the competitiveness of SMEs in Mexico.

This article examines the cartographic design of nano-scale productive systems led by women nano-entrepreneurs, understood as family-based productive arrangements embedded in everyday domestic spaces. In rural contexts, many women-led ventures operate at a nano-scale and are organized around household dynamics, where entrepreneurial leadership, family labor, and productive activities intersect. Drawing on a qualitative territorial research approach, the study combines semi-structured interviews, fieldwork, and cartographic design to identify productive actions and the spaces in which they take place. The findings show that these nano-scale productive systems function through the articulation of multiple actions rather than formal organizational structures, and that women exercise entrepreneurial leadership by coordinating family-based activities within and beyond the home. As a result, everyday spaces, particularly the household, are resignified as workshops, points of sale, and centers of management, giving rise to locally embedded family-based enterprises in emerging rural economies. Using cartographic design as an analytical tool, the article contributes to research on family entrepreneurship and leadership by highlighting how women-led nanoenterprises reshape spatial organization, and productive practices within emerging family firms.
