Abstract: Inventory Management System is a centralized data
repository that helps in managing the inventory with ease. A
centralized data repository of data helps people to get access to the
information fast thus increasing productivity. This paper
discusses developing a web-based application that will be capable
of managing and monitoring networking devices in an IT
organization. The application will consist of a centralized data
repository of all the networking devices in an organization. A
centralized network device inventory helps employees to easily
manage and monitor all the networking devices in the
organization. The application will also help employees in the fast
troubleshooting of any networking issue that arises in the
organization thus, increases the productivity of employees. The
application will be capable of sending timely updates regarding
the warranty period, inventory data updates, etc., to the concerned
people.

I. INTRODUCTION
Network Device Inventory Management System is an
essential tool in every organization where they manage their
own Network Infrastructure. There are a lot of proprietary
tools available in the market but they are not highly
customizable. Many organizations use spreadsheets and other
free tools available to store the data of networking devices as
there is no monitory cost related to it. But these tools do not
satisfy all the needs of the people using this data. The data is
stored manually and the chance of erroneous data is very high.
The data can be scattered in multiple locations, hence it is
difficult to gather information from this data which consumes
a lot of time in only gathering the information about the
devices. Lack of a centralized device inventory can drastically
reduce the productivity of an organization. Building a
Network Device Inventory Management is not a
straightforward task and requires a lot of planning.
This rapid development of technology has given many
benefits to the human, especially in the communication and in
getting information. Hence it is necessary that all the
organizations or companies must use the technology wisely to
improve productivity and to get maximum output. BPRTIK is
one such institution that aims to provide proper training and
information to the field of communication and information.
The inventory management system in BPRTIK able to
perform the division of the state and asset. This process starts
with managing the process control, maintaining the reports,
and the external services [1].

In the IT environment, the complications of inventory
system are more due to a large amount of data, we should
ensure that the data is unified and consistent to save the
storage space and to increase the scalability of the system. In
the IT environment, the inventory management manages the
accounts with the help of a computer, where the user only
needs to enter the GRN after checking the computer does the
accounting automatically and produces a different kind of
table data after comparing it with the traditional environment.
This automatic computing of accounting improves the
accuracy, timeliness, and the processing speed [2].
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
This paper [3] discusses the system implemented through a
database which stores the information about the patients and
also the donor. This data can be updated to know the
bloodstock and add donor membership to obtain information
about the donor. This can also be used as an android
application on smartphones where users can access the
information about the bloodstock and patients easily; they
even get a notification from the BTU if the bloodstock is
running low.
In the paper [4] the author discusses how the main success
of the global market depends upon the supply chain and how
effective food inventory management is a key success to the
industry. Anigbogu et al proposed a system for sales and
inventory management this system is useful because it can
automatically provide food preservative demand. This system
is used for tracking and managing sales for smaller
businesses. Here the food preservatives are managed using a
web-based platform and four machine learning models were
applied to predict the sales.
The paper [5] discusses how the Laboratory inventor
management system uses Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) technology. With the help of this technology, the
library staff can record how many types of equipment are
issued by the students and how many types of equipment are
there in the laboratory. It becomes easier for the staff to
maintain the information because this system gives ready
report to the staff of each article and also about the student.
This technology also prevents the theft and reduces the
workload of the staff; it can store and update data in a
database it is faster and the easiest way to record the
information.
This paper [6] discusses how inventory management helps
to manage all the spare parts of the factory. In this study, the
author took an example of the factory in Thailand which has
applied this data mining technique. The main aim is to classify
the spare parts in A, B, C categories the classification is done
in terms of precision, recall, f-measures, and accuracy.
