An Inventory-Based Mobile Application for Warehouse Management to Digitize Very Small Enterprises

Abstract

In today’s world, digitization has reached an important role. While more and more enterprises are interested in a realization and aware of its importance, it rather lacks on the implementation. This applies most of all for those with a low budget for new investments, such as small and medium enterprises (SME), as well as even smaller forms (VSE). For this reason, a sectoral digitization approach based on a real-world VSE is pursued. By using the design science research methodology, a low cost and easy to use warehouse management system for the optimization of the inner logistics of VSEs is developed, evaluated and presented in this work.
