StockPilot Inventory is a lightweight PHP 8 web application for buyer and purchasing teams that need a simple way to control inventory without a database server. It uses SQLite, so setup is easy: upload the files, open the installer, create the database file, and add the first admin account. 

The system lets users manage products, SKUs, barcodes, categories, suppliers, costs, prices, reorder levels, and stock quantities from a clean dashboard. Buyers can create purchase orders, add product lines, receive incoming items, and automatically update inventory levels. 

The scanner page supports USB barcode scanners, browser camera scanning, and manual barcode or SKU lookup. Stock tracking includes movement history, manual adjustments, reorder alerts, and audit logs. 

Reports cover low stock, stock valuation, purchase history, supplier summaries, and stock movements, with CSV export and browser print-to-PDF support. Multi-user roles control access for admins, managers, buyers, and viewers.

From the project folder:

cd /Users/Accountname/Documents/Inventory_Management_System<br>php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t .

Then open this in your browser:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/install.php

Do not double-click install.php; PHP files need to run through a web server.

Create the SQLite database and admin account, then sign in and manage inventory from the dashboard.
