StockWise is an AI-powered inventory and business operations system designed specifically for small retail stores and informal businesses. These businesses often struggle with stock tracking, losses, manual record-keeping, and limited access to data insights. StockWise solves this by providing an integrated platform powered by AI and real-time analytics. The system includes an AI Countertop for fast, guided transactions; an AI Security Guard that monitors inconsistencies and reduces losses; an Autonomous Supply Chain Manager for forecasting demand and automating purchase orders; and a Generative Business Advisor that converts store data into simple insights, alerts, and recommendations. A clean Dashboard displays key metrics such as sales, inventory levels, shrinkage, and supplier performance. Built with Node.js, Express.js, TypeScript, Knex.js, PostgreSQL, React, TailwindCSS, Chart.js, and Google Gemini, StockWise empowers small retailers to operate with the same intelligence and efficiency as large enterprises — but in a simplified, accessible way.
