Build a Smart Inventory App for Small Businesses

Many small business owners still manage inventory manually or with outdated spreadsheets. This app development project helps digitize inventory operations, offering a mobile-friendly platform to add products, monitor stock, and track sales with real-time insights and automation.

The app enables business owners to manage inventory with features like low-stock alerts, barcode scanning, product categorization, supplier tagging, and daily sales logs. It supports both offline and cloud-synced usage depending on the user's preference.

The business owner creates an account and starts by adding inventory items, either manually or through a CSV import. Products can be updated via scanning barcodes, and when items are sold, stock is automatically reduced. Real-time alerts and insights help improve stock control and reduce losses.

• User logs in and adds product details including quantity, price, and category.
• Stock levels are adjusted in real-time based on sales input or barcode scans.
• App triggers low-stock alerts when thresholds are breached.
• Sales entries and inventory adjustments are recorded in the backend for reporting.
• Admins can export reports and backup data or sync with cloud for multi-device usage.
