Desenvolvimento de uma aplicação para realização de inventários utilizando dispositivos móveis

Abstract

The competitiveness on the market and it’s clients’ demands for product availability and in- formation assertiveness is constantly growing wide on the industry.With that in mind, there must be ways to manage the institution supply chain, making sure the products acquisition and availability are adequate to both company and customer. Stock taking is a technique that seeks to maintain stock data accurate. Although, stock takings are an expensive task, both financially and physically for the participants - it may take a long time. That high cost is caused mainly by the expensive hardware needed, like data collector, softwares, staff training and the stocktaking by itself, as it is done manually in most of the cases. Therefore, small and medium businesses may not be able to afford the technology, leading to an error prone process when stock taking. Given this context, this work is about developing a stock taking mobile application, making it accessible for those mentioned businesses by using devices used on their daily activities.
