Smart Inventory and Logistics Management System for MSME’S Remote Locations

Abstract : Modern warehouse operations are increasingly confronted with critical inventory management issues such as stockouts, overstocking, and delays in restocking—all of which stem largely from the inefficiencies of manual inventory systems. To address these challenges, this project proposes a comprehensive smart warehouse management solution that combines real-time inventory tracking with advanced predictive analytics and intelligent stock alert mechanisms. Central to this system is a user-friendly web application that empowers both administrators and customers to manage products efficiently, monitor stock levels dynamically, and automate reordering processes. The solution leverages ARIMA-based time series forecasting models to analyze historical inventory and sales data, enabling the system to accurately predict future stock requirements. This predictive capability ensures proactive inventory replenishment, minimizes the risk of supply chain disruptions, and enhances overall operational reliability. Additionally, the platform incorporates visual dashboards that display key insights such as product demand patterns, sales trends, and inventory turnover rates, supporting data-driven decision-making. By automating critical inventory functions, the system significantly reduces human error and administrative overhead. It enhances transparency and responsiveness throughout the supply chain, ensuring that stock levels are always optimized to meet customer demand without unnecessary surplus. The integration of intelligent alerts provides timely notifications for low-stock or high demand items, enabling swift corrective actions. In summary, the proposed smart warehouse management system transforms conventional inventory handling into a proactive, intelligent, and efficient process. It offers a scalable and adaptive framework that not only addresses current warehouse challenges but also supports future growth and digital transformation initiatives in inventory management.
