Smart Inventory Management System with Barcode and Low-Stock Alerts

A web-based inventory management system that helps businesses track products, manage stock movements, and monitor inventory levels using barcode/QR scanning. It provides automated low-stock alerts, purchase and sales reports, supplier management, and role-based access for administrators and staff.

The problem

Small businesses, shops, and organizations often manage inventory manually using notebooks or spreadsheets, making it difficult to track available stock, identify shortages, and maintain accurate purchase and sales records.
This project provides a centralized digital inventory system that improves stock visibility, reduces manual errors, and helps users receive timely alerts when products reach low quantities.

Follow the working sequence

How it works

  1. Admin creates product entries with details such as name, category, supplier, and stock quantity.
  2. Products are assigned barcode/QR identifiers for quick identification.
  3. Staff scan product codes during stock-in or stock-out operations.
  4. The system updates inventory records automatically after every transaction.
  5. The dashboard displays current stock levels, sales information, and inventory statistics.
  6. When stock falls below the configured threshold, the system generates alerts.
  7. Admin users can generate purchase, sales, and inventory reports.
