Tailored Inventory Management Software for a KC Non-Profit
Initial Engagement
We began the engagement by conducting a thorough analysis of Happy Bottoms' existing inventory management processes. The team then collaborated closely with Happy Bottoms' staff to understand their workflow, challenges, and goals. This comprehensive understanding served as the foundation for developing a highly functional and scalable inventory management system.
The initial system we developed focused on core features such as tracking inventory levels, managing donations, and facilitating distribution logistics. The solution provided a user-friendly interface that allowed Happy Bottoms' team to efficiently record and monitor incoming donations, track inventory movement, and generate reports to analyze usage trends.
