Maredel T. Tanaman et al., International Journal of Science and Advanced Information Technology, 12 (5), September - October 2023, 44 - 48 44 ABSTRACT This software project is a web-based inventory management system for a small business enterprise established in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. It primarily supports the business owner of the said business enterprise to perform regular inventory management online through a web platform. This mechanism did not only improve the overall business process but also enabled the business owner to manage inventories with efficiency and convenience. The enterprise comprises four branches and a mobile store that strolls around the city to cater to customer needs. In addition, the current mechanism of conducting inventory management is purely manual through the use of paper files, which overwhelmed the business owner with several challenges, including data inaccuracy due to the reliance on using papers where data are recorded and process inefficiency due to the manual recording and distribution of inventory and sales reports. This software project addressed these challenges by eliminating these manual approaches through an automated computing solution using a web platform where data are electronically recorded and processed, and reports are electronically produced.
