Warehouse Watcher - Inventory System

Youtube LINK TO APP https://warehouse-watcher.vercel.app/ Inspiration I was inspired to create this project because I needed a software solution to manage inventory. However, all the existing solutions either involved complex ERP systems or were too difficult to use and set up, often requiring training for personnel, who then would not use it. With hands-on experience in two tradesmen companies that manage both small and large warehouses, I knew exactly what features could be removed to make the software as lean as possible. I closely collaborated with storage managers, observing how they operate to ensure the software would make their operations as fluid as possible and allow for quick initial setup. What it does Warehouse Watcher is a streamlined inventory management solution designed to simplify warehouse operations for small businesses. It avoids the complexity of traditional ERP systems, focusing instead on essential features that provide speed, ease of use, and valuable reporting for minimal to no cost. How we built it The project was developed using Next.js and Convex DB, with a strong emphasis on creating a user-friendly interface that requires minimal training. The design process involved direct feedback from storage managers to ensure the software met real-world needs without unnecessary complexity. Accomplishments that we're proud of We are particularly proud of the speed and ease of use that Warehouse Watcher offers. The value derived from the reports and controls is accessible to businesses at little to no cost, making it a highly efficient tool for warehouse management. What we learned Throughout this project, we learned that a lot of conventional wisdom in inventory management is overly complicated. By stripping down the software to its essential features, we could still achieve the desired functionality without the bloat.
