Abstract

A smart inventory system is a computational time efficient system that helps businesses to manage and track their inventory levels, orders, and deliveries. It facilitates companies to have real-time visibility into their inventory and helps them make more informed and quick decisions about restock and how much to order. One key feature of a smart inventory system is its ability to automatically reorder items when they reach a certain threshold, eliminating the need for manual intervention. This helps to ensure that businesses always have the right amount of inventory on hand, reducing the risk of running out of stock or having excess inventory that takes up valuable storage space. This paper includes deployment of this system in real world which benefits to handle smart inventory system with improved accuracy 30% and efficiency in inventory tracking around 10%, reduced lead times for ordering and restocking, and the ability to track inventory across multiple locations. This paper briefly elaborates the implementation of smart inventory system that greatly improves a business's inventory management process, leading to increased profitability by more than 50%, average foot fall increased to 25% and reducing the waiting time of customer by nearly 75% making customer more satisfied.
