Phoenix Hydraulics and Controls Inventory Management System
Description of Problem
Phoenix Hydraulics and Controls obtained a large amount of inventory
with no inventory management system in place. Searching for items was
difficult. There was labor available, however, there was no good way
to record items locations and descriptions.
Solution
One server was installed as well as two data input stations. The server
was setup using a version of Linux, Debian. Apache web server was
configured as well as MySQL. The computers were networked together.
A Perl DBI - CGI program was engineered for intranet based inventory
input, with a simple to use interface. Five minutes of training was
all it took, and inventory entry began.
The inventory system was later adapted to allow people searching for
certain parts, to attempt to find them in Phoenix Hydraulics and Controls
current inventory over the internet. A simple web page was designed, and
pay per click advertising from Yahoo/Google/Lycos was researched and applied.
There was an instant jump in profitability from inventory sales marked by
the start of online advertising.
