Inventory & Order Management System
Multi-warehouse stock, purchase orders, sales orders and invoicing for a distributor, with barcode scanning and low-stock reordering.
Screens are illustrative layouts of the product, not client screenshots.
Overview
What it is
An inventory and order system for a distributor: multiple warehouses, purchase and sales orders, invoicing and barcode scanning, with automatic reorder suggestions when stock runs low.
The problem
Why it was needed
Stock counts differed between warehouses and spreadsheets, orders were re-keyed between systems, and reordering depended on someone remembering.
Features
What We Built
Stock ledger
Every receipt, transfer and sale recorded.
Multi-warehouse
Stock, transfers and locations.
Purchase orders
Suppliers, approvals and receiving.
Sales orders and invoices
Order to invoice with taxes and statuses.
Barcode scanning
Receiving and picking by scan.
Reorder suggestions
Low-stock alerts and suggested quantities.
Architecture
How It Fits Together
- Admin and scanner UIReact + mobile scan
- Django appsstock, purchasing, sales
- Approvalsrole-based workflows
- PostgreSQLledger and orders
- Celery + Redisreorder jobs, reports
- Invoice PDFsdocuments and emails
Stock is never edited directly; it is always the sum of ledger entries, which keeps counts explainable.
