An inventory management system is the combination of processes that oversee the monitoring and maintenance of stocked products, whether those products are company assets, raw materials, and supplies, or finished products ready to be sent to vendors or end consumers. Companies need to have inventories in warehouses to fulfil customer demand, meanwhile, these inventories have held the stock reports, costs, bills and this is a frozen fund that can be lost. It is known that this manual system is timeconsuming, unsafe, and full of human errors. This inspires us to develop a web application software that will organize the inventory data and be able to track the stock in the storehouse along with realtime information about existing stock and allows accomplishing the need of stakeholders. To make it practical, we have done a case study of the manual inventory system of NITTTR Kolkata that includes their stock, issue, requisition, report, etc. in the form of ledger. This paper describes our inventory management system software which provides different features to the admin, storekeeper, faculty and other staff members. The backend of the system has been developed using PHP, MySQL along with the front end of the system has been designed and developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. The Entity Relationship diagram and Data Flow Diagram have been shown to illustrate the functionality of our system graphically.
