Stock management system

Project Overview: Our client, required a comprehensive web platform to streamline their intern management processes. The primary objective was to develop a software solution that allows users to add and edit invoices, send them to clients, create “avize” and “devize,” manage stock automatically upon invoicing, and generate detailed reports on in and out payments based on various criteria. This solution aims to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and transparency in managing business operations.

• Develop a user-friendly web platform for intern management.
• Enable users to add, edit, and send invoices to clients.
• Automate stock management upon product invoicing.
• Provide comprehensive reporting on financial transactions.
• Ensure secure and efficient data management and communication.
