Abstract
The quick development of mobile technology has had a big impact on how retail companies run. Small grocery stores, which have historically relied on manual procedures and in-person store visits, frequently struggle to effectively manage inventory, interact with consumers, and process orders. This study describes the creation of a mobile application for SR Grocery Store using Firebase as the backend platform and Flutter as the front-end development framework in order to address these issues. Through a straightforward and user-friendly interface, the application enables customers to easily peruse the products that are available and place orders for in-store pickup.
To facilitate customers' searches, the system groups products into categories like groceries, fruits, vegetables, and other everyday necessities. The whole shopping experience is enhanced by extra features like push notifications, order status tracking, pickup time selection, and new product updates. Through a dedicated admin panel, the store owner can oversee customer orders, update stock levels, and manage product listings from an administrative standpoint. Additionally, a low-stock alert system assists in informing the administrator when product quantities drop below a predetermined threshold. Customer reviews, product ratings, and requests for bulk orders are also supported by the system. The application offers an effective and scalable solution for contemporary grocery store management by integrating Flutter with Firebase services like authentication, cloud storage, and real-time database synchronization.
