business the amounts of raw materials, supplies, or final products that are readily
available. It is really important for businesses because it helps them know what
products are still available for the following days and weeks. Through this, it allows
them to order supplies or products in advance, so they would have everything they
need at all times. Some of the businesses are not into computerized inventory system

and still are using the manual process that is why they have a hard time at
monitoring their products. Manual inventory system relies heavily on the action of
people which increases the possibility of human error. People might forget to record
needless additional orders that increase the business inventory carrying costs and
using up precious storage space. Inaccurate physical count could also result to the
failure to order enough quantities of a product, meaning the business could run out
One of the business that we know that is still using this kind of system is
the Marisol Grocery Store that is why The researchers proposed the “Inventory
System for Marisol Grocery Store”. This system is an offline system that helps the
owner to track what products are still available and what products are out of stock.
This will compute which products were sold, which products were left, and which
products are in need of replenishment. By the means of that the said business will be

The main focus of this system is to give the company an easy access to find

accessible for the manager of the chosen store. The store manager is the one who
will create an account for his/her cashier and can also edit the cashier’s
information. The page helps the manager to give an information to the cashier

products from spoiling, if you have too many products in your warehouse, you
increase the risk that they will become obsolete, damaged, spoiled or stolen before
you can sell them all. Depending on which industry you’re in, you’re probably
more worried about some of these risks than others. For example, if you’re in the
technology industry, you don’t want your expensive products to become outdated,
damaged or stolen, but you probably don’t care about their freshness date. Food
producers, on the other hand, put product spoilage high on the list of inventory
management concerns. Second to stop paying hidden costs, having too much
inventory doesn’t just increase your risk of paying more in the future; it costs you
to buy a larger warehouse than you really need or rent trailers if your warehouse
isn’t big enough. Plus, you have to provide security to prevent theft. And don’t
forget about the money that’s tied up in inventory that you could have used to hire
customers, on the other end of the inventory spectrum, if you have too few
products in your warehouse, you face a whole other set of risks. Your customers
don’t want to wait too long to get their orders shipped to them. So if you run out
of the products they’re looking for or if you’re picking, packing and shipping
processes are too slow, you could drive customers away. Fourth to stop wasting

in your inventory management. You need to start planning ahead and being
proactive. Instead of being unprepared for sudden spikes in sales, try to notice
these trends ahead of time by monitoring social media channels for mentions of
certain products and looking at historical records to spot seasonal upticks in sales.
All of this is easier said than done. It goes back to having a powerful inventory
management system to free up your time and do most of the data analysis for you.

new products into the inventory and replacing the old products with the new ones.
Meanwhile, output is a procedure of taking out the products from the inventory
for sales or usage and refill is a process of increasing the number of existing
demands. Most of the retailing market is using traditional way in the inventory
management system where a person is assigned to check and record the stock by
hand using pen and paper. It is where operations with regards to all the stock will
