Inventory Management may seen complicated to some, but if one truly thinks about what
the word “inventory management” means, it is simple concept. Inventory basically a list of goods
and materials that are held by a business and are available in stock. Inventory Management is the
process of keeping track of inventory and having the delicate balance of supply and demand
firmly mastered. When having inventory, a company does not ever want to have too much of a
product, nor does it want to have not enough of that product to meet demand. Inventory
Management helps to ensure that a proper inventory is maintained at all times. (Ronsworth,
2010) www.papercamp.com.

Ensuring the availability of materials and goods is one of the major responsibilities and
goals of inventory management, requiring various techniques such as mathematical modeling
and computational methods. To introduce the basics of inventory systems and mathematical
assumptions for all models are grouped together, thereafter mathematical principles and
applications are treated as they relate to one another. With this clearly organized
systematic exposition and a unique balance is maintained between simplicity and rigor.

Inventory management systems do not make decisions directly, but help
employees to make decisions. A good inventory management system would also provide
help in forecasting the demand and supply apart from ensuring that the confusing
paper work is done away with. It makes sure that information about warehouse and
links to suppliers of raw materials as well as customers, retailers and wholesalers is readily
available for use. (Patel, 2010) scrib.com

By definition, the point of sale (POS), or point of purchase, is the time and place in your
retail store where transactions are completed. This is also known as the point of purchase. Think
of the point of sale as your store’s checkout counter—the place where you check out customers,
take payment, and complete transactions. (shopify.com, 2022)

The Point Of Sale (also called POS or checkout, during computerization later
becoming electronic point of sale or EPOS) is the place where a retail transaction is completed. It
is the point at which a customer makes a payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or
services. At the point of sale the retailer would calculate the amount owed by the customer and
provide options for the customer to make payment. The merchant will also normally issue a
receipt for the transaction. (Raniza, 2014) www.papercamp.com

“Technology is just a tool, in terms of getting the kids working together and motivating
them, the teacher is the most important. –Bill Gates”. As for our daily lives, technology has
surrounded us in a way that it helps us to communicate, to learn new things and to make our
work easier. And as years goes on, technology evolves and it was so much easier with our finger
tips unlike those years that people used manual pen and paper to their tasks. (Neaj, 2014)

Over the years, more enhancements were made to the cash registers until the early 1970s,
when the first computer-driven cash registers were introduced. The first computer-driven cash
registers were basically a mainframe computer packaged as a store controller that could control
certain registers. These points of sale systems were the first to commercially utilize client-server
technology, peer-to-peer communications, Local Area Network (LAN) backups, and remote
initialization. In the late 1980s, retail software based on PC technology began to make its way
into mainstream retail businesses. Today, retail point of sale systems are light years ahead of
where they began. Today's POS systems are faster, more secure, and more reliable than their
predecessors, and allow retailers to operate every facet of their business with a single, integrated
point of sale system. (*http://www.retailsystems.com/history-of-retail-pos-systems.cfm*, July
28, 2009) A peer-to-peer network allows two or more PCs to pool their resources together.
Individual resources like disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and even printers are transformed into
shared, collective resources that are accessible from every PC. Unlike client-server networks,
where network information is stored on a centralized file server PC and made available to tens,
hundreds, or thousands client PCs, the information stored across peer-to-peer networks is
uniquely decentralized. Because peer-to-peer PCs have their own hard disk drives that are
accessible by all computers, each PC acts as both a client (information requestor) and a server
(information provider). (Leslie Duremdes,  2009) www.papercamp.com

services. The point of sale often refers to the physical electronic cash register or dedicated POS
hardware used for checkout, but the POS is simply the location where the sale is conducted,
money changes hands and a receipt is given, which can also occur on a smartphone, tablet,
laptop, or mobile POS device when the right hardware and POS software is combined with the
mobile device. (Guil tiaw, 2013) https://www.papercamp.com

extensive use of computers in a various applications, a computation of bank statements, the use
of robotics machine to speed up some factory works, enrollment and grading system in school
and universities, networking and others. Man slowly realized the importance of computer to
speed up communication even in remote areas and as means of transferring data for business
needs. Computer can also store information in a mass storage device. It can recall information in
a speed of microseconds or even in nanoseconds. Therefore man can easily retrieved stored
information, change it and then store it again. (Emjay, 2013) https://www.papercamp.com
