Invetory is a mobile-first inventory management and one-click web publishing app designed for small business owners in developing countries like Bangladesh. Inspired by real challenges faced by social media-based entrepreneurs, the project focuses on simplifying stock tracking, reducing manual errors, and helping businesses create a professional online presence without technical skills or high costs. Through user research and iterative HCI design methods, the system prioritizes simplicity, speed, and accessibility for busy entrepreneurs using Facebook and WhatsApp for sales. The study demonstrates how a lightweight, user-centered solution can bridge the gap between informal social commerce and professional digital business management.
