Smart Cart

Abstract

This project is on a web-based application “Smart Cart” which ensures quality control in businesses that handle transactions revolving around consumer goods. Without proper inventory control, a large retail store may run out of stock on an important item. This system will alert the retailer when it is time to reorder. Smart Cart automates the process of managing inventory at a general store. It manages the sales, supplies and inventory of the general store. It keeps track of all the customers, the purchases made during a given period and the inventory of the items. This application is basically managed by the administrator. The administrator can login through the system. He also can view the details of the customers. A database is maintained which has the inventory of all the items. The system also keeps track of supplier details and sales. It stores all purchase order details and invoice details in respective tables in the database. This web-based application also has a POS system. The main function of a POS system is to process sales transactions quickly and accurately. When a customer makes a purchase, the system records the transaction, deducts the amount from the inventory, and calculates the total cost including taxes and discounts. Key Word: Inventory management, data storage architecture, product recommendations, invoice generation.
