Description

Inventory is a list of items such as property or goods in stock, as organisation grows problems also rises as varieties of items are needed to be maintained in the inventory which makes it difficult for managers of inventory to track stocks. Formal way of keeping record has to evolve as quantities in inventory grew. Advancement in mobile technology has created opportunity to respond to the needs of modern society. In this paper, we developed a mobile-based inventory management system implementable in a cross-platform environment.
Waterfall process model was the design methodology for the application. Flutter was used to develop the cross-platform functionality while Firebase was the backend. The users responsible for inventory management are able to act on the go whenever the needs arise.
