Abstract
One of the most significant difficulties encountered by organisations, including educational institutions, is inventory management. Overstocking, low-quality raw materials, ineffective sourcing, incompetent staff management, etc., impact the majority of these institutions' equities. In addition, there is a lack of timely and accurate information. An improved web-based inventory control system has been developed to solve these problems. The inventory of the OAUSTECH store unit of the University of Lagos (OLAUSTECH) was captured. The procurement and storage unit data of OAUSTECH was collected through interviews, a record book inspection and some printed data. The system was implemented using BOOTSTARAP, MySQL and PHP and HTML files. Quick alert messages, reporting to management when inventory levels drop below a certain point, computation of pricing levels and other inventory analysis elements, vendor delivery performance metrics, and the creation of an affordable inventory recommender system are all things that come out of the system.
