Project description
Inventra delivers real-time inventory tracking, purchase order workflows, and vendor scorecards to reduce stockouts and optimize purchasing decisions across warehouses and retail operations.
Challenges we tackled and how we handled them
Real-time Stock Accuracy - Implemented an event-driven architecture with Redis pub/sub and barcode scanning integrations to keep inventory state synchronized across locations and channels.
Purchase Order Approval Workflows - Built a configurable workflow engine for multi-level approvals and real-time notifications for pending actions.
Vendor Performance Tracking - Created vendor scorecards that automatically track delivery accuracy, lead times, and return rates so procurement teams can make data-driven decisions.
Audit Trail Requirements - Stored immutable audit logs capturing user, timestamp, and context for every inventory movement to support accounting and compliance.

Problem Solving
Challenges We Tackled
Every project presents unique challenges. Here's how we approached and solved the key technical hurdles.
Real-time Stock Accuracy
Inventory counts must reflect actual warehouse state instantly across multiple locations and sales channels.
Event-driven architecture with Redis pub/sub ensures stock updates propagate instantly. Barcode scanning integration provides real-time updates from warehouse operations.
Purchase Order Approval Workflows
Different purchase amounts require different approval levels, and managers need visibility into pending orders.
Configurable workflow engine allows businesses to define approval hierarchies. Email and in-app notifications keep approvers informed of pending actions.
Vendor Performance Tracking
Businesses need to evaluate vendors on delivery times, quality, and pricing to make informed purchasing decisions.
Built vendor scorecards that automatically track delivery accuracy, lead times, and return rates. Historical data helps in vendor negotiations and selection.
Audit Trail Requirements
Every inventory movement and price change must be traceable for accounting and compliance purposes.
Immutable audit log captures every transaction with user, timestamp, and full context. Reports can reconstruct inventory state at any historical point.
