For my personal project, I will make a program that keeps track of a store's inventory. It will be a database to keep track of all items that go in and out of the inventory. The user will be able to:
- Add or remove any quantity of an item from the inventory.
- See a log that keeps track of the time, date, and quanitity of items that were added or removed from the inventory.
- Get alerts if a certain item is low in stock
- See a summary of the sales statistics of all items
My project will be useful for store owners to keep track of their inventory to know when they need to restock certain items, the sales trends for each item, and prevent theft or misplacement of items. It will make the job of keeping track of a store's inventory automated, which would be especially useful for smaller businesses with less budget or manpower. I am interested in this project because of a similar reason. My friends and I wish to participate in an affiliate marketing program to earn some money on the side. A problem that we encountered was being able to efficiently track the sales that we would help make because our target goal for sales is very large. Furthermore, seeing the statistics of what products we had the most success selling would allow us to focus our marketing efforts more effectively.
