Building a Shop Inventory & Analytics Management System (Full-Stack Django + React)

I am currently developing a Shop Inventory & Analytics Management System as a client-oriented project associated with Lovely Professional University. The goal of this project is to digitize retail shop operations by integrating inventory management, sales tracking, expense monitoring, and real-time analytics into a single full-stack web application. Problem Statement Small retail shops often manage inventory and expenses manually, which leads to: Inaccurate stock tracking Sales mismanagement Poor financial visibility No data-driven decision making This project aims to solve these issues through automation and analytics. System Architecture The application follows a REST-based client-server architecture: Frontend: React.js Backend: Django + Django REST Framework Database: SQLite Data Visualization: Matplotlib, Seaborn, Recharts The backend exposes REST APIs that the React frontend consumes for real-time updates.
