Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis was to create an automated inventory application to reduce the working hours and to minimize errors in the inventory process of a small enterprise. The application was done by using a Microsoft C# programming language. The goal was to combine business intelligence with computer engineering.
The theoretical background demonstrates the language and framework used to build the application. Also a description about the connection with a GSM modem and the computer application is given. The practical part of this thesis describes the process used to create the application on the client and server side including the realization of graphical user interface. In addition, a deep view of the functions and the process of coding is given.
The project was divided in two branches, the server side and the client side. The first one collects the inventory data used by the management, and the second one is used by the sales agents who send the data to the server side with an Android application or with SMS messages. The results show that the automated inventory application presented has been a successful implementation for both sides. The given feedback has been positive. The commissioner of this thesis has confirmed that the application has been a useful and essential update to change the old inventory process.
