Prototype of a web and mobile application for inventory management of a parts store using QR code

Abstract

Micro-companies have been a sector with a great disadvantage in recent months due to the global health problem; hence, the interest in offering a technological tool that allows them to improve customer service. The objective of this article is to present a project, which it was developed for an automotive parts store in Oaxaca city. The idea of introducing technologies such as the use of web applications integrating the QR code to facilitate inventory management will allow these micro-companies to offer an improved service. The contribution of this project is that it can be adapted to different types of micro-companies that require technological tools that support them in their survival in an increasingly competitive market. The prototype is developed with the agile Extreme Programming (XP) methodology, and the tools used are Laravel and Boostrap frameworks for the web application and for the mobile application: Android Studio and Material Design.
