Information about the inventory of a warehouse stocks and products used to be kept manually by means of paper forms. As the stocked items quantity and the frequency of transactions increased, the manually collected data was additionally kept in a computer database. In this work we use the opportunity to further improve the warehouse management process by implementing a mobile-based solution for inventory handling. Our solution relies on an Android application to enable direct interaction with the database without a need for a desktop PC. In this thesis we describe the application development, the related API design and development, the interaction with the database, and the extensive evaluation process we have conducted.
