Aplicación web progresiva (PWA) para la gestión de inventario en la empresa Eliza Bio Natural

Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop a Progressive Web App (PWA) for inventory management at Eliza Bio Natural, a company located in the city of Ambato. The project arose from limitations identified in the current process, where the tracking of incoming and outgoing goods, adjustments, and stock verification was primarily carried out through manual records, physical spreadsheets, and direct checks on shelves. This situation led to discrepancies between physical and recorded stock, delays in customer service, difficulty accessing up-to-date information, and a lack of traceability in inventory movements. For the analysis, interviews were conducted with administrative and sales staff, and an observation checklist was used, which helped identify the system’s functional and non-functional requirements. Subsequently, PWA technology was researched, and appropriate tools were selected for developing the proposal, taking into account accessibility, cross-platform compatibility, responsive design, security, and maintainability. The application was developed using the Scrumban methodology, with work organized into iterations. The system includes modules for authentication, users and roles, categories, suppliers, products, inventory movements, alerts, dashboards, reports, auditing, and PWA deployment. The result is a technological solution that enables the recording of inventory movements, updating of stock levels, quick retrieval of information, and enhanced inventory control within the company.
