Sistema para gerenciamento de armazém no Banco de Alimentos de Curitiba

Abstract

This project aims to develop a prototype of a web system, encompassing both the frontend and backend, to optimize inventory management for the Curitiba Food Bank. Currently, the creation of food baskets and the management of received donations are carried out using a spreadsheet, which limits the functionality and efficiency of the process. Our system seeks to address these limitations by offering features that streamline and enhance management tasks. The scope of the project includes the registration and organization of food items into categories, with tracking of their respective expiration dates. Additionally, the system provides suggestions during the food basket assembly process, such as recommending products with closer expiration dates and those that meet the specific meal needs of the beneficiary institution. Furthermore, the software guides operators regarding the appropriate storage and retrieval locations for food items used in the basket assembly, and it also allows access to information about donations made and the institutions served. These functionalities aim to optimize the use of available resources, improve stock management efficiency, and ensure that institutions receive food baskets tailored to their specific needs.
