The Warehouse Management System is built as a scalable web-based application using PHP 8+ for backend logic and MySQL 8+ for database management. The system follows a modular architecture ensuring flexibility, maintainability, and high performance in warehouse operations.

The frontend is developed using HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap 5, JavaScript (ES6+), and jQuery, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface optimized for desktop and mobile devices. AJAX is used to enable real-time updates for inventory changes, stock movements, and order processing without page reloads.
