Problem

Our client, a growing e-commerce business, was struggling to manage their inventory effectively. They were manually tracking stock levels and sales data in spreadsheets, which led to errors and delays in fulfilling customer orders. The lack of real-time visibility into their inventory also made it difficult for them to make informed purchasing decisions.

We needed to develop a solution that would automate the inventory management process and provide our client with accurate, up-to-date information on their stock levels and sales performance.

Solution

We developed an e-commerce inventory management system using MySQL and Python. The system integrated with our client's existing e-commerce platform and automatically updated stock levels as orders were processed. We also built in functionality for generating purchase orders based on reorder points and lead times.

The system provided real-time visibility into inventory levels, sales data, and purchasing history through a user-friendly dashboard. This allowed our client to make informed decisions about when to restock products and how much inventory to order at a time. We also implemented automated alerts for low stock levels or slow-moving products so that our client could take action before running out of stock.
