Introduction: Inventory management system is an environment with a web-based inventory program designed to keep track of all the equipment and peripherals systems including PC, servers, laptops, printers, switches and routers.
Project Objective: 1. To provide an access control system that allows management of specific user levels who can view, add, modify, and delete inventory data including admin controls. 2. Implement a search / filter function for equipment and peripherals systems by searching globally in a database or a subset of it, with the use of sql statement. 3. Make an export function where selected items in database can be exported to pdf, csv to print out or to save in a file for an office friendly use. Problem Statement: The process of managing a large number of equipment and peripherals can be troublesome. Some items might have not been tracked properly or the inventory list is changed by unauthorized persons resulting in the lost of equipment and further costing a lot of money.
Rationale: Usage of database with specific equipment and peripherals selections in it will make the inventory management easier and saves time. User permissions will give the inventory database more security. Easy updating of equipments status for easy tracking.
Limitations: HTTPS support for more security is not implemented. System is not optimized for easy viewing when using tablets and smartphones.
