The application brings essential garment business operations into a single system, including employee management, inventory, sales, purchases, customers, vendors, and reporting.</p> <h2> Tech Stack </h2> <ul> <li>React Native and TypeScript for the mobile application</li> <li>ASP.NET Core Web API and C# for backend services</li> <li>MySQL for data storage</li> <li>Git and GitHub for version control</li> </ul> <h2> Key Features </h2> <p><strong>Employee Management</strong></p> <p>Manage employee records, contact information, attendance, and payment-related data.</p> <p><strong>Inventory Management</strong></p> <p>Maintain inventory records and retrieve stock information through the backend API.</p> <p><strong>Sales and Customer Management</strong></p> <p>Organize sales records, customer information, contact details, and transaction-related data.</p> <p><strong>Purchase and Vendor Management</strong></p> <p>Manage purchase orders and vendor records to support procurement workflows.</p> <p><strong>Work Assignment Management</strong></p> <p>Track work assignments, worker details, assignment status, and payment-related information.</p> <p><strong>Reports and Dashboard</strong></p> <p>Access reports for employee attendance, inventory, sales, purchases, and work assignments.</p> <p><strong>Role-Based Access Control</strong></p> <p>The application supports Admin, Manager, Staff, and Viewer roles to organize access according to user responsibilities.</p> <h2> Backend API Architecture </h2> <p>The backend uses ASP.NET Core Web API with C# and MySQL. It provides structured API operations for employees, customers, inventory items, purchase orders, sales, vendors, users, and work assignments.</p> <p>Keeping the backend separate from the mobile application makes it easier to maintain business logic, organize data operations, and extend the system in the future.</p> <h2> React Native Application </h2> <p>The mobile application is built with React Native and TypeScript. Its modular structure separates operational screens and reporting features while shared API service functions handle communication with the backend.</p> <p>Authentication and role-based navigation provide a foundation for organizing access to the application's features.</p> <h2> Engineering Challenges </h2> <p>Developing a business management application requires consistent communication between the mobile frontend, backend API, authentication system, and database.</p> <p>My approach focuses on modular components, centralized API communication, structured data models, and dedicated reporting screens. These practices make the codebase easier to maintain and extend.</p> <h2> Future Improvements </h2> <p>Potential enhancements include barcode scanning, low-stock alerts, invoice generation, PDF and Excel exports, sales analytics, push notifications, and cloud deployment.</p> <h2> Conclusion </h2> <p>This project demonstrates my experience developing a full-stack business application using React Native, TypeScript, ASP.NET Core Web API, C#, and MySQL.</p> <p><strong>Source code:</strong></p> <ul> <li>React Native app: <a href="https://github.com/pankajbiodata/garmentsReactNative" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/pankajbiodata/garmentsReactNative</a> </li> <li>Backend API: <a href="https://github.com/pankajbiodata/GarmentsAPI" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/pankajbiodata/GarmentsAPI</a> </li> </ul> <p>I'm continuing to improve the application with a focus on maintainability, API integration, and practical business workflows.</p> mysql reactnative dotnet typescript
