Efficient inventory management is vital as businesses grow, yet many in Asia still rely on outdated manual methods like spreadsheets, which are error-prone and lack scalability. Modern inventory management systems offer centralized, real-time solutions to streamline operations across multiple branches.
The Purpose of this thesis project was to modernize and streamline the manual processes by developing an updated inventory management system that ad-dresses the limitations, providing real-time tracking, multi-branch support, and automation.
The MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) was chosen for building the proposed solution and by using it, organizations can streamline their inventory processes and mitigate operational challenges associated with inventory control and resource management. Small start-ups seeking scalable inventory management solutions, mid-sized enterprises aiming to optimize resource allocation, and large corporations striving for enhanced operational efficiency can all find value in the outcomes of this research.
In this project, Rasel handled the backend development using Node.js, while Lubna focused on the frontend development with React.js. Backend testing was performed using Postman to ensure the server-side functionality was working as expected. The MongoDB database was used locally for data storage and testing. After completing the backend, the server was uploaded to GitHub, from where Lubna pulled the changes to work on the frontend. Once the frontend was updated, changes were pushed back to GitHub for further integration.
