Sistema Informático para la gestión de ventas e inventario de Papas en Ibarra

Abstract

Abstract: Sales and inventory management is a fundamental process for businesses involved in the potato trade, as it allows them to maintain proper control over their products and provides the information needed to determine the best procedures. At the Ibarra Wholesale Market, it was observed that processes are carried out manually, leading to inconsistencies and delays in record-keeping, which limit the ability to determine stock levels immediately. The overall objective was to design and implement a computer system to manage sales and inventory in the potato trade in Ibarra, using a web application that optimizes operational processes and strengthens the commercial management of local producers. The methodology employed was a mixed-methods approach, combining applied research, descriptive analysis, and technological development, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The system was designed using the Scrum agile methodology, which allowed for the organization and incorporation of various functionalities, such as user management, customer management, product inventory, purchasing, sales, supplier management, and reporting. During implementation, functional tests were conducted to verify compliance with the established requirements before beginning the next Sprint, with the aim of ensuring software quality and the traceability of requirements. Finally, the system was validated through performance, adaptability, and accessibility tests, which demonstrated its functionality and the level of satisfaction among merchants in the city of Ibarra.
