COLLEGE PROJECT · REIMAGINED DESKTOP SYSTEM
The project began as a C# Windows Forms inventory application I built in college. The portfolio edition reimagines that foundation as a larger desktop-style operations system while keeping the original project documented as its starting point.
PROJECT EVOLUTION
The original system established the core domain: login and administration, departments and employees, supplies, item limits, deliveries, transactions, deleted records, and reports.
C# · WinForms · OleDb · Microsoft Jet / MDBThe current interactive edition expands the project with multi-location stock, receiving and issuing controls, transfers, purchase orders, suppliers, replenishment intelligence, audit history, roles, reporting, search, notifications, and desktop window behavior.
Interactive sample data · browser-local persistence · desktop UIThe original college system can be viewed as part of this case study, while the reimagined edition is the current featured system. Both public versions use portfolio-safe sample data; the original desktop database and source code are not published.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
SYSTEM FEATURES
Stock is tracked across multiple storage locations, with transfers preserving total inventory while moving quantities between locations.
Available-stock checks, department item limits, required purpose fields, and transaction validation protect stock-out workflows.
Reorder points and target stock drive replenishment recommendations that can generate supplier purchase orders.
Receiving, issuing, transfers, purchasing, and administration generate searchable audit activity and operational reports.
Build the college C# WinForms system and its connected inventory workflows.
Keep the original project documented as the historical foundation of the case study.
Expand the same domain into a modern desktop-style operations application.
Exercise stock, procurement, reporting, persistence, desktop controls, and responsive layouts with sample data.
REIMAGINED INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
This is the public portfolio edition: a desktop-style inventory operations system using sample records stored only in the visitor's browser. It does not publish the original WinForms database, credentials, or source code.
This project helped me build experience designing a multi-screen business workflow around real inventory operations.
