Stock Management and Live Inventory Monitoring System: Design, Development, and Role-Based Access Control

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based Stock Management and Live Inventory Monitoring System developed as a final year engineering project. The system addresses the operational inefficiencies of manual warehouse management by providing a digital, real-time solution with a structured three-tier role hierarchy: Superadmin, Admin, and Standard User. Key functionalities include live stock tracking, automated low-stock alerts, QR code integration, Excel-based bulk upload, audit logging, and role-based access control (RBAC). The system employs a split-pane dashboard interface designed for usability in industrial environments. Evaluation of the system demonstrates significant improvement in inventory accuracy, operational accountability, and procurement responsiveness compared to traditional methods. This paper details the system architecture, module design, security protocols, and user experience considerations, contributing to the domain of enterprise inventory management systems.
