PharmaSync - A Smart Inventory & Order Management System

📌 Overview

PharmaSync is a web application designed to streamline inventory and order management for pharmacies and wholesalers across Egypt. The platform provides a centralized hub where pharmacies can check real-time stock availability, place orders from multiple suppliers, and ensure timely delivery.

🎯 Objectives

• Reduce Medicine Waste: Prevent financial loss due to expired medications by redistributing stock to areas with higher demand.
• Centralized Inventory: Aggregate stock data from multiple pharmacies and wholesalers.
• Smart Order Routing: Automatically suggest alternative suppliers if an item is out of stock.
• AI-Powered Chatbot: Assist users with queries and automate order tracking.
• Machine Learning Integration: Optimize stock predictions and demand forecasting.
• Intelligent Notifications: Alert users about expiring medicines, stock shortages, and demand surges.
• Supplier & Pharmacy Rating System: Enable pharmacies to rate suppliers based on delivery speed and product quality.
• Flexible Payment Methods: Support for online payments, digital wallets, and invoicing.
• Secure and Scalable Architecture: Built using Django (or Spring Boot) with MySQL.
• Agile Development: Collaboration using Git Workflow and Gherkin for behavior-driven development (BDD).

🏗️ Tech Stack

• Backend: Django / Spring Boot (TBD)
• Frontend: React.js / Next.js (TBD)
• Database: MySQL
• AI & ML: TensorFlow / Scikit-learn for demand forecasting
• Authentication: JWT / OAuth2
• Deployment: Docker + Kubernetes (Future Scope)
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions

🌍 Contribution Guidelines

🏗 Git Workflow

We follow Agile Development using feature branches:

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a new branch feature/your-feature
3. Commit changes with meaningful messages

📝 Using Gherkin for BDD

Example scenario for placing an order:

Feature: Order Placement
  Scenario: Successful order by a pharmacy
    Given a pharmacy has an active account
    And the requested medicine is in stock
    When the pharmacy places an order
    Then the system confirms the order
    And the order is assigned to a supplier for delivery
