Inventory Management System: Case Study

Project Overview

The client needed a centralized, fast, and reliable inventory management solution to track products, suppliers, stock levels, purchases, and sales efficiently. Their previous system involved manual spreadsheets, causing errors, delays, and poor decision-making. We developed a custom Inventory Management System (IMS) that automates stock tracking, improves accuracy, and offers real-time insights.

💡 Key Challenges
