Smart Inventory & Order Management System
A full-stack web application for managing products, orders, stock levels, and a restock queue.
Project Overview
A comprehensive inventory management solution featuring real-time KPIs, concurrency-safe stock locking (SELECT FOR UPDATE), and automated restock queues. Built with a role-based access control system, it ensures atomic stock deductions during order creation and automatic restoration upon cancellation, providing a reliable experience for managing complex inventory workflows.
