# AgriTrak Pro

Overview

AgriTrak Pro is a cutting-edge inventory and tracking system designed specifically for mid-sized tractor dealerships. This innovative solution harnesses the power of modern web and mobile technologies to help dealerships manage and track parts efficiently using tractor models, serial numbers, and in-house stock IDs (ttags).

Problem Statement

Traditional inventory management methods in tractor dealerships can be cumbersome and error-prone. Common challenges include:

• Inaccurate inventory counts
• Difficulty locating parts quickly
• Inefficient restocking and reordering processes
• High potential for human error

Proposed Solution

AgriTrak Pro streamlines inventory operations through a dual-platform approach:

• Web Application: A powerful admin dashboard for in-depth inventory management, real-time reporting, and analytics.
• Mobile Application: A cross-platform mobile app enabling on-the-go tracking, barcode/QR code scanning, and rapid updates.

Key Features

• Part Management:
  • Seamlessly add, update, and remove parts with details such as part name, tractor model, serial number, and ttag.
• Real-Time Inventory Tracking:
  • Monitor stock levels, manage reorder alerts, and log part movements in real time.
• Advanced Search & Filtering:
  • Quickly locate parts by model, serial number, or ttag.
• Barcode/QR Code Integration:
  • Simplify part identification and tracking with integrated scanning capabilities.
• User Management:
  • Secure, role-based access for administrators and staff.
• Comprehensive Reporting & Analytics:
  • Generate insightful reports to optimize inventory turnover and operational efficiency.
