• Abstract:

  The Expiry Product Management And Alert System Is Designed To Assist Retail Shop Owners In Effectively Managing Inventory With A Focus On Product Expiry Tracking And Prevention Of Expired Product Sales. In Many Small And Medium Retail Businesses, Manual Monitoring Of Expiry Dates Is Inefficient And Prone To Human Error, Which Can Lead To Financial Losses And Potential Health Risks For Consumers. This Project Provides A Digital Solution To Automate And Streamline The Entire Process. The System Allows A Shop Owner To Register And Log In To A Secure Platform, Where They Can Access A Centralized Dashboard For Managing Inventory, Purchases, And Sales. During The Purchase Process, The Shop Owner Records Detailed Information About Each Product, Including Its Expiry Date. Each Product Item Within A Purchase Invoice Is Assigned A Unique QR Code, Enabling Precise Identification And Tracking. This Ensures That Even When Multiple Items Are Purchased Under A Single Invoice, Each Unit Can Be Monitored Individually. At The Point Of Sale, Products Are Scanned Using Their QR Codes. The System Automatically Verifies The Expiry Status Of The Product Before Allowing The Transaction. If The Product Has Exceeded Its Expiry Date, The System Blocks The Sale And Notifies The User, Thereby Preventing The Distribution Of Expired Goods. Additionally, The Dashboard Continuously Monitors Inventory And Provides Alerts For Products That Are Nearing Their Expiry Dates, Allowing The Shop Owner To Take Timely Action Such As Promotions Or Stock Clearance. The System Also Generates Reports On Expired And Soon-to-expire Products, Helping In Better Decision-making And Inventory Control. By Integrating QR-based Tracking, Automated Expiry Validation, And Real-time Alerts, This Project Enhances Operational Efficiency, Reduces Losses, And Ensures Customer Safety. Overall, The Proposed System Offers A Reliable And Scalable Solution For Modern Retail Inventory Management.
