Design E-commerce Inventory Management System

Inventory Tracking

• Use Case: The system should maintain real-time tracking of inventory levels for each product. This includes updating stock levels when items are added, sold, or returned.

Product Management

• Use Case: Users should be able to add, update, or remove products from the inventory. This includes managing product details such as name, description, price, and category.

Order Processing

• Use Case: The system should handle order placements, ensuring that inventory levels are checked and updated accordingly. It should also manage order statuses from initiation to completion.

Supplier Management

• Use Case: The system should allow for the management of supplier information, including contact details, product offerings, and order histories.

Reporting and Analytics

• Use Case: Generate reports on inventory levels, sales trends, and supplier performance to aid in decision-making and strategic planning.

User Access Control

• Use Case: Implement role-based access control to ensure that only authorized personnel can perform specific actions within the system, such as inventory updates or order approvals.
