This study aims to develop an Inventory Management System (IMS) that can provide better control and handling of product stock, customer orders, customer service, and order delivery that relates to company inventory information. The target users are the owners and employees in Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) retail stores that still manage inventory manually in Malaysia. IMS helps retail stores track the next arrival of product stocks and record customer orders for reservation for the product in the store inventory. In this study, the developer used PHP for backend system development and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for frontend system development. This study also applies Rapid Application Development (RAD) software methodology that emphasizes an iterative development process. Even though the inventory management system has been fully developed by the developer, there are still limitations found and future enhancements that can be made toward the system.
