Stock control & tracking
Inventory Management System
Licensed retail inventory and professional POS platform with RBAC, purchasing, OCR, and Electron packaging.
The challenge
Teams responsible for stock control and retail selling were slowed by fragmented tools, weak RBAC, and limited leadership visibility—especially when the product also needed to be licensed and distributed to multiple client instances.
The solution
Inventory Management System: Licensed retail inventory and professional POS platform with RBAC, purchasing, OCR, and Electron packaging. Real-time inventory and POS operations in one coherent stack. Tekvers delivered a maintainable stock control & tracking system for Inventory Management System using Express, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, with phased rollout, operator workflows, and documentation suited to long-term ownership.
Approach
RBAC and audit first
Bootstrap owner registration, role matrix, activate/deactivate users, and immutable-style audit listing give operators a trustworthy permission model before POS volume grows.
Inventory + professional POS depth
Products, categories, suppliers, stock movements (IN/OUT/ADJUSTMENT/TRANSFER/RETURN/DAMAGE), PO approve/receive, GRN statuses, and POS sessions/transactions cover the retail loop from receiving to cash drawer events.
Licensing and distribution plane
Trial registry, hardware fingerprints, license keys/activations, client instances, messaging, and billing analytics routes support multi-client distribution—web SPA or Electron desktop—without claiming disabled master-analytics mounts as live.
