 ABSTRACT

Creating a paper receipt and misplacing it could hinder your business and
could harm it. A mistake of losing one's order receipt could also be a danger of
losing a customer. Creating the order in paper-based takes time especially if you
wrote the wrong information. Being able to digitize a business is an assurance
not only for keeping track of your order history but it is also a great way for you to
grow your brand, gain new insights and acquire loyal customers. The InvenDora
system is a user-friendly system that tracks the order history, orders of the
customers, updates, adds a user, updates stock, and creates a new order in the
most simple way possible

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Rationale of the Study

Since the creation of the first computers and systems, accounting and
businesses in general have benefited greatly from the numerous functions
brought by advancing technology. Information technology revolutionized and
significantly sped up growth in businesses across industries around the globe by
creating efficiency and providing a safe, reliable way for storing financial and
important data. Thus, more and more advancements eventually led to
computerized systems dedicated to handling and easing all finance related
matters and were created with the purpose of replacing the traditional, manual
ways of accounting.
There is no argument to switching over from a manual accounting system
to a more modern, computerized system. In manual accounting, journal entries,
invoices and other documents are to be made by hand, while computerized
accounting has users inputting this information into software programs dedicated
to handling these tasks. With this, computerized accounting systems produce
information much faster compared to manual accounting systems (Amahalu et
al., 2017). However, it must be taken into account that a change in the way
business is handled can have a different impact on productivity, especially in its
early days when users still have to learn the new system and adapt to it. Costs,
maintenance, and installation fees are also significantly higher when compared to
manual accounting. Nevertheless, performance is also significantly higher, and
the period during the adoption of computerized systems does not have a great
negative impact on business. Studies show that users who utilize computerized
accounting systems finish their job more effectively and have greater quality and
quantity of work, and while users who still use manual accounting claim they
finish their job accurately, they still find computerized systems to be more
convenient to use and set (Arcega et al., 2015).

1
 With all this, the PovaDora goat store family business has been running
on a manual accounting system ever since it started. The family has been
struggling in organizing the records of receipt in its paper-based form most
especially if they lose it. Having paper-based records of receipts and order
records may also need a lot of space for storing, as there are a lot of orders from
the different customers. It also takes time in writing the record, especially since
everything is handwritten. This difficulty also includes updating the order where
our client needs to carefully write the order and receipt. Thus, it would be safe to
say that transitioning from a manual system to computerized will be a large help
to PovaDora, and even much more so if they were to adopt a system that takes
into account the form and heart of their business, meat products.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

1.2.1 General Objective

The main goal of this research is to create a web-based inventory

management application specially designed for a meat-based
business, namely Povadora’s Goat Store.

1.2.2 Specific Objectives

This research aimed at:

1. To improve upon the work conditions and business efficiency

in Povadora’s Goat Store by allowing the business to
transition from manual paperwork to a computerized system.
2. To identify and improve upon aspects of an inventory system
that can cater to and benefit the management of inventories
mainly storing meat.

2
 ○ Add and create functionality for keeping track of how
many kilos of a certain product is currently
available/stored

1.3 Significance of the Study

The output of this research is a web-based inventory management system

beneficial to the following:

PovaDora Family Business. The business has been documenting their

data on papers, which takes time and has the risk of losing important information.
With the inventory management system, they will be able to keep track of their
inventory safely and efficiently.

Customers. People want meat products to be fresh, delivered on time,

and within their budget. This inventory management system can help guarantee
that the freshness of the meat is kept tracked, while also accounting for the right
price range, so that customers can buy the best goat meat quality there is.

Meat Shops. Meat Shops are a necessity as they provide quality meat
products that we use in our everyday meals. An inventory management system
can help improve the management in the quality and quantity of meat provided to
the customers.

Computing Field. People in the computing field, especially those that

specialize in Inventory Management Systems can make use of the different
functionalities that the application presented in the research. Further research
can be made to create more efficient algorithms to keep track of the inventory
data.

3
1.4 Scope and Limitations
The system utilized a database catered to handling products and
inventory. The database entries contain information for managing meat products,
namely the product’s name, available stock (in kilograms), and price per
kilogram. Its features are based only on recommendations and gaps in the
PovaDora business.
The system only has two types of users: (1) Registered users and (2)
Administrators. Both of these types of users can only be created by an
administrator. There is one provided default administrator account, while
users/employees must agree to having a registered account should they be
registered users. Internet connection is always present when using the
application.

 CHAPTER 2
RELATED SYSTEM

With the advent of computing systems and technology, a lot of systems

have been created by engineers to boost efficiency in handling and managing
data with regards to business and sales. Inventory management systems that
keep track of finances, sale history, and current inventory stock are
commonplace and prove very beneficial to businesses through the use of
automation and ease of use, brought by its design and the many functions that
computers can provide to users.

Security
Most if not all inventory systems have functions in place in order to protect
assets and data. One of these functions is an admin system, wherein different
users and accounts are registered within a database that have assigned levels of
permission for access to certain functionalities of the system. To add, only users
that have been given accounts may actually use the system in order to prevent
unwanted tampering of inventory data and create a way for allowed identities to
be verified.
As such, Abisoye et al. (2013) implemented a login page as the entry point
for their system to ensure security, after which a splash screen and the main
menu is shown upon successful entry.

Main Inventory System Functionality

Inventory systems implement functions that serve their desired goal, which
is to keep track of important business inventory information and the like. One of
these important functions comes in the form of a module/page that allows the
user to record, update, or add stock and show inventory history and activity.
Soegoto & Palalungan (2020) implements a related module within their
information system that records receipts and inventory sent to other divisions in

5
the business. This data and history is recorded and can be found in the system’s
Details menu.

Traceability
Basic inventory management and traceability tracking are must-have
features in software systems for all meat producers. Traceability is the
identification of individual, real-life goods using a "lot number" or "batch number"
that stays with each food item as it passes through the inventories, and inventory
management encompasses a set of business activities that include receiving,
production, and sales.
Meat processors must keep records for basic inventory management and
traceability, the receiving of products will include the parts of the meat ordered. A
batch number should be entered for each item received. If the supplier or original
maker hasn't allocated a batch number to the item, you'll need to assign one. All
of your final product sales should be tracked. Customers' identities, as well as the
batch number of each item sold to them, should be kept track of. Recall features
should be able to simply construct a report that traces the supplier, inventories
in-stock, goods created, and consumers for any ingredient or finished product
using the lot tracking utilized throughout the system. For actual recall events, as
well as simulated recalls and traceability verification for third-party audits and
certifications, it's critical to use recall features.

ACCTivate
The ACCtivate system is an inventory management system that includes
lot tracking, partial catch-weight support, and barcode scanning, but no scale
integration. ACCTivate can track inventory down to the component level and
calculate sales based on weight. Tracking both pieces and weight for inventory
tracking and reporting does not work. Only on sale is the catch weight. It is
possible to manually add weights to each piece, but it is not compatible with a
digital scale.

6
 ACCTivate is a client/server software solution for Microsoft Windows that
connects with QuickBooks desktop versions. For a multi-user situation, you'll
need to install it on your own computer, which should be a server computer on
your LAN. Instead of maintaining your own server, you might pay a fee to have it
hosted by a third-party hosting service.

DEAR Inventory
The DEAR Inventory is a cloud-based inventory management system
that's simple to use and best suited for uniform weight final products, such as 12
ounce packaged beef jerky. DEAR includes powerful lot monitoring and food
safety recall functions, as well as barcode scanning and label printing, and it will
generate recall customer letters automatically. DEAR integrates with a variety of
cloud-based systems, including cloud-based accounting systems QuickBooks
Online and XERO, eCommerce solutions Shopify, Amazon, Bigcommerce,
WooCommerce, Magento, eBay, Neto, and Etsy, shipping logistics system
ShipStation and point-of-sale and payment processors PayPal, Vend, Stripe,
and Square. For individuals who want to personalize reports and forms, DEAR
now integrates with MS-Office Word.

At-Thoyyib Shop Inventory Management System

At-Thoyyib Inventory Management System is an online system that
facilitates the management, entry and exit of goods, namely frozen goods,
household items and organic drugs. Rather than writing down inventory data on a
book which could be damaged or have written the wrong data, At-Thoyyib
Inventory Management System provides an easier way of recording data and an
efficient and accurate report generation for the store manager. The system uses
the Waterfall Model as it is easy to explain to users. It includes an Inventory
Module for displaying categorized items, Search Module to search for items and
suppliers, Supplier Module for the list of suppliers, Payment Module to record the
sales, Damaged Goods Module to keep track of damaged goods, and Reporting
Module to compile a list of all the reports.

7
Inventory Optimization of Fresh Foods
Fresh food, such as meat products, can easily spoil within a matter of
days when not properly managed. There should be an inventory control system
for fresh products. A study was conducted on analyzing the inventory
management of fresh pork in Shang Mao Cheng Supermarket. First, it is found
that consumers are sensitive to the price and freshness of the pork. Second, the
best sales cycle of pork is three days, as the fourth day will cause a decrease in
quality. Third, the price is the highest during the preservation period of the meat,
slightly higher than market price, and gradually decreases at the end of the sales
cycle.

Web-Based Inventory Management System

This system was created to improve inventory management for a small
business company. Using a web-based inventory system, it would allow multiple
users to access from varied locations, allow the office to easily gain access to
store information and perform system maintenance, easily implement business
rules and update business data, boost efficiency in managing the daily business
activities, which can result in more satisfied customers, increasing revenue.

As shown in Table 1 are the related systems being cited in this study.

 CHAPTER 3
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
This chapter discusses the various tools, features, and concepts that were
discovered to be beneficial to the proposed system.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)

The session between the web server and the browser on your mobile
device is encrypted if you see https. By glancing at the Uniform Resource
Locator (URL) in your browser's web address bar, you may quickly identify web
servers that have https enabled.
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is
a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is a security and authentication
protocol that is widely used in browsers and Web servers. SSL encrypts data
sent over an SSL connection with the use of a public key. SSL is supported by
the majority of web browsers.

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML)

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the set of markup symbols or

codes inserted into a file intended for display on the Internet. It is the computer
language that facilitates website creation. The markup tells web browsers how to
display a web page's words and images. HyperText is the method by which
Internet users navigate the web. By clicking on special text called hyperlinks,
users are brought to new pages. The use of hyper means it is not linear, so users
can go anywhere on the Internet simply by clicking on the available links. This is
the main structure that the web application uses.

CSS Framework
CSS frameworks provide a basic structure for designing consistent
solutions to tackle common recurring issues across front end web development.
They provide generic functionality which can be overridden for specific scenarios

10
and applications. This greatly decreases the time needed to start creating
applications and websites. It is particularly useful when arranging all the
application’s functionalities with a friendly user interface in mind, allowing the
user to use the application with ease. The CSS Framework goes hand-in-hand
with HTML to create the UI and design of the application, which will be the main
interactive point end-users will depend on.

Database MySQL

MySQL is an open source Relational Database Management System

(RDBMS) with a client-server model. RDBMS is a software or service used to
create and manage databases based on a relational model (Richard B. 2021). It
creates a database for storing and manipulating data, using a key to link data
from two different tables. This is widely used by e-commerce and warehouses to
organize data. The developers will make use of MySQL to create the main
database and will serve as an important back-end module in the application.

Git
Git is a distributed revision control system that is accessible as free
software on all major development platforms. Git distinguishes itself from its
forerunners by elevating the software's modifications to first-class citizens.
Software revisions are important to developers, and git enables this by providing
each developer with a complete private copy of the software repository and a
variety of techniques to manage changes inside it. The ability to link a local
repository to many remote ones enables developers and their managers to
create a wide range of interesting distributed processes, the majority of which
would be difficult to run on a standard centralized version control system. The
local repository also makes git more responsive, simple to set up, and
independent of the Internet.
GitHub is a git repository hosting service that uses a Web-based user
interface to simplify many repository maintenance activities while also
encouraging collaboration in open source projects. (Spinellis, 2012, 100-101). It

11
is the main repository that the developers will use to keep track, update, and
manage the development of the application.

PHP language
PHP is a free popular server-side open-source programming language
mainly used in developing web applications and sites. Its features include but are
not limited to:
● Manipulate, add, manage, delete, create files on the server (back-end)
● Communicate with a database
● Allow developers to create dynamic content on the webpage
● Control permissions, who uses the application
Mainly in the back-end, the application will use PHP as its main
programming language. It is used to communicate with the database created
using MySQL, and its seamless integration and ability to be embedded with
HTML allows for ease of development.

DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

4.1 Conceptual Framework

Figure 1 presents the main flow of the application and how data is
processed. There are four main modular components that work in conjunction to
achieve the desired functionalities. Each component’s functionalities are
categorized into their own in the figure.
1. Product Database: Show different products in stock, their
descriptions, and price per kilo.
2. Order/Reservation: Keeps track of current orders or reservations
and respective customer information, and history of past orders.
3. User System: For security and administrative capabilities.

Figure 1. Data Flow and Framework

4.2 Analysis and Design

4.2.1 Use Case Diagram and Description

The application requires a registered user in order to access and

use the system’s features and functionalities. This user’s capabilities
include logging in and out of the system, accessing and viewing the
products in stock, adding new products, creating reservations, and
managing reservations (order finished, order cancelled, etc.). The user
must be created in the database beforehand in order to be able to access
the system using their own supplied login credentials. Admins are given
this capability to create new user accounts.

4.3 Development Model
The project will be implemented through the agile method. The agile
method is able to administer the process for managing a project that involves
constant collaboration and working in continuous iterations of development and
testing throughout the software development cycle of the project. In addition, it
breaks down the project into several phases to deliver project accomplishments
smoothly. (Hamilton, 2021)

Figure 4. AGILE Development Model

The AGILE Development Model consists of the following steps, each of

which must be completed before moving on to the next.

Plan refers to the gathering of all possible requirements of the system.

The researchers will interview the client about their business information
gathering for the project in order to identify the system’s main functionalities and
provide possible solutions through the system.

19
 Design involves the process of identifying possible features and how the
system will operate for the user. The researchers will design a prototype of the
system in order to provide a visual representation of the system to the client.
Development is the stage where both front-end, back-end and also the
database will be coded.
Test this is the stage where it entails a thorough examination of the
features and the functionalities of the system and its other components to identify
any potential problems. The blockbox testing will be performed by the developers
in collaboration with the client.
Deploy this is the stage where the application will be available on the
web.
Review this stage refers to reviewing the system after the deployment and
further testing will also be conducted.
Launch this is the final stage, it is where the system will be released for
the client to be used.

First, the researchers must figure out what the client expects from the
system. The client was searching for a simple approach to manage their sales,
such as adding, updating, reading, and/or deleting/cancelling orders transactions,
these will be some context of the system. The method then progresses to the
following level until the last stage is accomplished. This method enables rapid
and continuous collaboration as well as the breakdown of the application
development into sprints in order to meet a deadline and test the outcomes.
Every sprint requires everyone’s participation. Goals that were not met in the
previous sprint can be carried over to subsequent sprints.

20
4.4 Development Approach
The application system was designed using a mixture of the top-down and
bottom-up approach. First, the main product database component was created
as this was essential for creating two of the other main components, the Report
System and the Reservation System. The user/admin system was designed
separately from the other components as there is not much overlap in
functionality between them except for access and permission. Figure 4 presents
the approach that was used in the study.

4.7 Verification, Validation and Testing
When used on large systems, black-box testing is effective. Block-box
testing refers to testing a system without prior knowledge of the coding or internal
workings. User-acceptance testing is a type of testing in which the end user, such
as the client, verifies the application’s functionality and accepts the software
application before it is deployed. UAT is done at the end of the testing process.

The block box testing method will be used by the researchers. Black box
testing enables testers to examine and analyze data communication between
modules as well as their functionalities. Two(2) family members of the owner will
conduct the testing. Furthermore, any bugs discovered will be documented and
fixed by the developers.

Afterterwards, the system will be validated for User Acceptance Testing to

ensure it is ready for deployment. The system will then be evaluated, with
features, durability, usability and efficiency rated. Miss Celine Povadora, the
daughter of the owner of Lolong and Lucy’s Goat Store will carry out the task.
