Advanced multi-location inventory system handling both consumable and usable items — with inter-location transfers, automated challan generation, and real-time stock dashboards.
Built for Simplex, a large infrastructure company, the Stock Management System manages inventory across multiple project sites and warehouses. The system differentiates between consumable items (used once) and usable items (tools, equipment) with different tracking logic for each.
Item transfers between locations are tracked with automated challan generation, providing a complete audit trail of stock movements. The system prevents stockouts with configurable low-stock alerts and provides real-time visibility into stock levels across all locations from a unified dashboard.
PHP/MySQL backend with a normalized database schema for efficient multi-location queries. Stock calculations use FIFO accounting for accurate cost valuation. PDF challan generation uses server-side templating. The dashboard aggregates stock data across all locations in real-time with optimized GROUP BY queries.
