AIM AND OBJECTIVES

• Aim: To develop a system that helps retail shops manage their inventory and sales
efficiently.
• Objectives:
• Keep track of available products.
• Manage sales records accurately.
• Provide a user-friendly interface for easy use.
PROBLEM STATEMENT

• Statement: Traditional shop management relies on manual methods, leading to errors


in inventory tracking and sales management.
• Description: Many shop owners currently use pen and paper or basic spreadsheets to
track inventory and sales. However, this manual approach often results in inaccuracies and
inconsistencies. For instance, shop owners may struggle to maintain updated stock levels,
leading to either overstocking, tying up capital unnecessarily, or stockouts, frustrating
customers and potentially losing sales opportunities.
EXISTING SYSTEM

• The current method of managing inventory and sales in many shops involves manual processes,
such as using pen and paper or basic spreadsheets. This means that shop owners or employees
manually write down or input information about the products they have in stock and the sales
they make.
• Relying on manual data entry increases the likelihood of mistakes such as typos, miscounting, or
misplaced records, leading to inaccurate inventory counts and sales reports.
• Manually updating inventory levels and sales records is a time-consuming process that requires
constant vigilance. Shop owners or employees must spend valuable time inputting data, which
could be better utilized for other business tasks.
LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

• Inefficient inventory management: Manual methods lead to inefficiencies in tracking


inventory levels, resulting in difficulties in knowing exactly what products are in stock and
when to reorder.
• Difficulty in generating accurate sales reports: Due to manual data entry and
limited storage capacity, generating accurate sales reports becomes challenging, leading to
unreliable insights into sales performance.
• Lack of real-time data updates: Without automated systems, updates to inventory
levels and sales records are not instantaneous, causing delays in accessing crucial
information and making timely business decisions.
PROPOSED SYSTEM

• Description: We propose a computerized system that automates inventory


management and sales tracking.
• Features:
• User-friendly interface.
• Database for storing product information.
• Sales transaction recording.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

• Advantages:
• Accurate inventory tracking.
• Real-time sales data analysis.
• Reduced chances of errors.
• Time-saving and efficient management.
ARCHITECTURE SYSTEM
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

• Hardware:
• Mobile phone, computer or laptop.
• Stable internet connection.

• Software:
• Frontend:
• Next.js framework for frontend development.
• Tailwind CSS for styling.
• Backend:
• Node.js for server-side scripting.
• Express.js for building the web application framework.
• Database Management System:
• XAMPP SQL Server (which includes MySQL) for managing the database.
• Other Tools:
• Postman for API testing and development.
EXPECTED RESULT

By implementing the proposed system, retail shops can expect:


• Improved inventory management.
• Accurate sales tracking.
• Enhanced overall efficiency and profitability.
