HCM-Suppermarket-Management-System

HCM Supermarket Management System Introduction Welcome! This project implements a comprehensive digital supermarket management system using cutting-edge technologies. It empowers supermarkets with streamlined operations, enhanced inventory control, and improved customer experiences. Key Features: Product Management: Add, edit, and delete products, manage stock levels, and track prices effectively. Sales Management: Process customer purchases accurately, generate receipts, and stay on top of sales trends. Inventory Control: Maintain optimal stock levels, avoid stockouts, and reduce wastage through efficient inventory management. Customer Management: Create customer profiles, track purchase history, and provide personalized promotions. (Optional, based on your project scope) Reporting: Generate insightful reports on sales, inventory, and customer behavior to make data-driven decisions. (Optional) Technologies: Backend: Django REST Framework (Python) Frontend: React.js (JavaScript) Project Deployment: The deployed application is currently unavailable due to privacy and security considerations for real-world supermarket data. However, you can explore the functionalities and code structure locally by following the installation instructions below. Installation 1.Prerequisites: Ensure you have Python 3 and Node.js with npm installed on your system. You can download them from https://www.python.org/downloads/ (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and https://nodejs.org/en https://nodejs.org/en respectively. 2. Clone the Repository: https://github.com/cysof/HCM-Suppermarket-Management-System.git 3. Navigate to the Project Directory:bash cd HCM-Supermarket-Management-System 4. Create a Virtual Environment (Recommended):bash python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # Windows/Linux source venv/Scripts/activate.bat # Windows Only 5. Install Backend Dependencies:bash pip install -r requirements.txt 6. Install Frontend Dependencies:bash cd frontend npm install 7. Create Backend Secret Key: (Create a new file named secret_y.py at the project root with the following line, replacing your_secret_key, with a strong random string) python SECRET_KEY = your_secret_key' 8. Set Environment Variables: (Optional, if applicable) Create a .env file at the project root to store sensitive environment variables for the backend. Refer to the Django documentation for details on environment variable configuration. 9. Migrate Backend Database: (Assuming you're using a databasebash) python manage.py migrate 10. Run Backend Server: bash python manage.py runs server This will typically start the server on http://127.0.0.1:8000/. The exact port may vary. 11. Start Frontend Development Server: (Optional, for hot reloading) bash cd frontend npm stard This will usually start the development server on http://localhost:3000/. The exact port may vary. Additional Notes:

Configuration details might differ slightly depending on your specific environment and project setup. Refer to the Django and React documentation for further guidance on setting up and customizing these frameworks. Usage Once the application is running, you can access the frontend interface. The specific usage instructions will depend on the functionalities you've implemented. Consider creating additional documentation within the project to guide users on operating the system.
