                    <title>Background</title>
                    <p>Currently, retail companies that fail to digitise their logistics processes experience difficulties in controlling stock, resulting in inaccuracies in the quantity of products and excess amounts in the warehouse. Consequently, the aim was to introduce a web-based system to enhance inventory control in retail firms within the city of Huaraz.</p>
                </sec>
                <sec>
                    <title>Methods</title>
                    <p>The Extreme Programming methodology was implemented in four phases. During the planning phase, roles and user stories were established. In the coding phase, Hypertext Preprocessor and JavaScript programming languages were utilised alongside the MySQL database management system. The testing phase involved evaluating each interface&#x2019;s functionality to ensure that it was a part of the web system. The objective of this was to develop the web system and utilise it as an inventory control tool.</p>

                <sec>
                    <title>Results</title>
                    <p>The utilization of the web-based system within the logistics sector led to enhanced indicators, as seen through a 52.94% increase in inventory precision rate and 91.94% rise in the stock turnover rate.</p>
                </sec>
                <sec>
                    <title>Conclusions</title>
                    <p>The web system facilitates the minimisation of input errors in product quantity records while also enabling visualisation of such data. It further provides an illustrated representation, in the form of a bar graph, of each product&#x2019;s indicator behaviour.</p>

            <p>The findings of Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref> demonstrate that the laboratory company faced challenges in managing the inputs utilized in their activities, requiring implementation of an application to enhance data collection for logistical control of chemicals used in their operations. Furthermore, according to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>, proposes efficient techniques for storing pharmaceutical inventory control records in an internet-based platform to facilitate queries on the quantity of medication stocked at the logistics department. According to research conducted by Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>, employees working in the logistics department of the medical consortium are responsible for managing the data related to their collected supplies from various suppliers. As a solution, they suggest implementing a web-based system to organize and improve accessibility of the data for the employees. Finally, a web-based system was developed by Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>, and deployed on a web server to streamline communication of relevant material and merchandise data amongst departments of the construction company.</p>
            <p>The above studies demonstrate the positive effect of implementing this tool in inventory control on key performance indicators, specifically the stock turnover rate and inventory precision rate; this facilitates comprehension of the results and enables informed decision-making within the chain of command.

            <p>However, it is imperative that the scientific community conducts research to demonstrate the latest inventory control features. This will ascertain how retail companies in the city of Huaraz can enhance their inventory control through the incorporation of a web-based system. The research should address security concerns, overcome interoperability challenges, and overcome the limitations inherent in the current technological infrastructure. Further research is necessary to determine the efficacy of the internet-based system in managing incoming and outgoing goods, given the significant volume of data that must be effectively managed via a database, while also enabling easy access to said data.</p>
            <p>The current research aims to bridge the knowledge gap by presenting the advantages of implementing and executing a web system for inventory control. It analyses how this web system enhances the outcomes of the inventory control indicators mentioned earlier in the field of logistics.</p>
            <p>Thus, the aim of this investigation was to implement and launch a web-based platform within the logistics sector of ROBLEPLAST S.A.C. in Huaraz. The platform would enable visualisation of outcomes acquired through the inventory precision rate and the stock rotation rate for every product within the logistics area.</p>
            <p>This study is beneficial for inventory control, offering timely and pertinent data on each product&#x2019;s quantity, frequency of restock, and percentage deviation from the amount recorded in the online system. Moreover, it aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 9, which emphasises sustainable technological advancement and enhanced labour productivity.</p>

                <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">Figure 9</xref> presents the dashboard which displays essential data regarding the product quantity and its performance concerning all indicators in both sections (a and b); these indicators are depicted via bar graphs. Moreover, the dashboard provides a concise and up-to-date overview of processed data, facilitating the analysis of results for report generation and communication within the logistics department&#x2019;s chain of command. This advantage is reinforced by Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">28</xref> because considers that the dashboard gives a summary view, and you don&#x2019;t need to be looking inside the system to get what is already in sight. Similarly, the dashboard data as per Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">29</xref> provides a means to make informed decisions quickly based on the data presented. And finally Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">30</xref>, states that the dashboard is a source of strategic communication for employees to aim for the same goal to improve the outcome of the indicators.</p>
            <p>
                <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f10">Figure 10</xref> illustrates the digital system&#x2019;s format to register product entries into the logistics zone, allowing for efficient data entry and minimizing errors on the completion of the form. This is reinforced by Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">31</xref>, as the digital tool is accessible from any internet-connected device and enables efficient time management when carrying out the activity. Furthermore Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">32</xref>, states that submitting the form digitally can result in savings on office supplies. Finally Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">33</xref>, believed that the digital form accelerates the registration process, enhancing the administrative relationship with suppliers who will then experience better quality services in receiving their products.</p>
            <p>
                <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f11">Figure 11</xref> displays the webpage form for recording product exits from the logistics area for onward transfer to the shopping centre. This facilitates the registration of the product quantity to enable tracking, which is critical for managing stock levels and placing appropriate orders with suppliers. This is corroborated by the statement from Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">34</xref> says that the order process in a form involves data security as well as control over the quantity of products that are ordered. Furthermore, according to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref29">35</xref>, the clarity of communication is heightened as all operators involved in product output are aware of the exact products being handled in real-time. Finally, according to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">36</xref>, saving information in the web system form assigns responsibility to the operators for carrying out actions and tracking products to identify losses or thefts and take appropriate measures.</p>
            <p>
                <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f12">Figure 12</xref> displays an interface that enables users to filter the precision rate of inventory findings by product name and date. This functionality allows users to observe the product&#x2019;s trend over time. In this regard, Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">37</xref> asserts that implementing a filtering feature with date and product name options would facilitate result retrieval, allowing for clear insight into inventory management. Furthermore, as pointed out by Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref32">38</xref>, it is imperative to resolve any issues identified during the analysis of results to enhance the scheduling of product sourcing. Finally, according to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref33">39</xref>, the results consistently indicate the need to take action to enhance the interoperability of employees for improved outcomes.</p>
            <p>
                <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f13">Figure 13</xref> displays an interface that permits the filtering of stock rotation rate outcomes by product name. In addition, one can enter dates as another filter option, thereby permitting an observation of trends in the frequency of product ordering and replenishing within the logistics domain. According to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref34">40</xref>, the results presented enable the assessment of the efficacy of product ordering. Furthermore, according to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref35">41</xref>, analysing trends enables the assessment of product demand. Conclusively, according to Ref. 
                <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref36">42</xref>, the interface&#x2019;s results enhance the market strategy for products exhibiting high and low performance within a particular duration.</p>

            <title>6. Conclusions</title>
            <p>The study resulted in the creation of a web-based inventory management system with a focus on stock control, comprising both inbound and outbound movements of goods. The inventory of products within the logistics sector was closely examined, with special attention given to the indicators of precision and stock turnover rates. Data was collected on each product to determine its efficacy. In brief, the developed software application is aligned with inventory control optimisation as it allows for comparison of results on the same product and demonstrates improvement.</p>
            <p>For future research, it is advisable to investigate alternative tools and methods for presenting and handling data related to additional indicators included in inventory control. This would enhance the web system&#x2019;s functionality and augment its performance.</p>

            <p> </p>
            <p> Based on my review of the paper, I would like to highlight the following points:</p>
            <p> </p>
            <p> 
                <bold>Strengths:</bold>
            </p>
            <p> The paper provides a clear and detailed explanation of the developed web-based inventory management system, including its features, such as stock control and inventory accuracy.</p>
            <p> </p>
            <p> The use of digital forms and dashboards for real-time data tracking is well-articulated, showcasing the system's practical utility.</p>
            <p> </p>
            <p> 
                <bold>Areas for Improvement:</bold>
            </p>
            <p> The literature review could be expanded to include relevant studies, establishing a stronger theoretical foundation for the research.</p>
            <p> The methodology section should provide more details on the testing and evaluation criteria to assess the system's effectiveness.</p>
            <p> The conclusions could discuss the broader implications of the system and its potential limitations.</p>
            <p> </p>
            <p> 
                <bold>Recommendation for Citations:</bold>
