Abstract—In our day to day activities we are facing the
problem like “out of stock” situation when we visit a super
market or any other marts. Smart Store Management is designed
to monitor the daily inventory, out-of-stock, sales take-up, and
other important data available from stores or outlets. Empty
shelves in the stores frustrate customers and lead to sales losses
for manufacturers and retailers. Customers show little tolerance
for these so called “out of stock situations”. This leads to a 6 to
24% loss in retailer revenues. The store management identifies
and monitors items in the shelves and automatically alert
retailers when it’s time to restock. The manual process involving
collecting data will be replaced by automation and companies can
get data in real time with no manual intervention and encoding.

I. INTRODUCTION
Store management system will keep track of the inventory
or an item in a retail market is one of the most feasible
solutions to this retail in store challenge. The store
management system will be benefited both for the customers
shopping and the retailers selling experience. The store
management will help to check the items and inventory in the
shelves in the stores and the store executives will refill the
items or inventory in the shelves if it is empty. It intimates to
the store people about the products demand and out of stock
situation. If the shelves are empty without products then it will
intimated to the store manager to fill the shelves with the
products. Digital transformation will rule the innovation in the
retail industry. E-retailers are motivating the shoppers with
‘anywhere any time’ shopping, quick delivery, special offers,
easy returns etc. and it is a growing threat to the super marts
unless they adapt to the technology of the digital world. Apart
from these advancements, the shoppers will expect the demand
for more efficient, retail shopping experiences is ever
increasing. Store experience by enabling innovative
technologies like store management system in retail.
Compelling stock administration is basic in overseeing
costs, measuring shrinkage and enhancing the client shopping
knowledge in retail. With store administration framework
innovation, retailers would auto be able to track the loaded
products and ensure there is surplus stock to abstain from being
"out of stock". Constant stock administration empowers
retailers to spare time, settle on educated choices and upgrade

in-store deals. Store administration framework empower
constant and precise administration of stock information to
engage retailers to advance the in store deals with the
auspicious filling of stocks, survey of things and so on.
Stores like Best Buy, Target and Lowes are additionally
progressively utilizing robots to screen and control stock.
These robots can diminish shrinkage and enhance stock
precision by dispensing with a component of human mistake.
So also RFID chips can enable retailers to keep up "brilliant
racks" which can recognize when stock is low or consequently
change item cost for instance as staple things are going to
lapse, or as a feature of a dynamic estimating system.
Store management system enables the business owners to
take more informed decisions. By keeping a real time tracking
on what products are being taken from the store shelves and
what is remaining. The store people have to take analysis of
data about items which are moving faster and to maintain stock
in the store so that it reduces the burden of filling the items of
slow moving.
II. RELATED WORK
Issues that arise in retail store like out of stock are a major
concern for consumers packaged goods and retailer
organizations. They lose billions of dollars every year. If items
of interest are not available on the shelves, most of the
customers buy from somewhere else and others buy a different
band. These weight sensors reliably tell the back-end
framework about the current amount of things on the
racks."These wirelesses use raspberry pie 3 and it monitors the
shelf it alert the store associates when product levels are
running low. I will also trigger the back end system about the
items are getting less in a particular shelf. "The store
administration gives retailers’ different methods for enhancing
their client benefit, expanding deals and decreasing truck
surrender to a vast degree."
Store administration framework arrangement empowers
retailers to remotely keep a track inside the store. The store
administration framework capacities of shrewd racks help in
rapidly distinguishing and settling issues inside the store if any
before it impacts the clients. Accessibility of stocks when
clients request it is basic for any retail locations .store
administration framework empowers computerized following

and with the current framework we have to check each time

IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Store administration framework diminishes the code and work
bourdon on the retailers, it furnishes coordinate stockpiling
gadget with the assistance of the raspberry pie 3. This store
administration framework ceaselessly screens and it
consequently gives ready when it times to restock the items or
the check of items is getting diminished. Clients indicate little
resilience for this supposed "out of stock" circumstance. To
conquer this we are presenting store administration
framework. The store administration framework can be
enormously gainful both for the clients shopping background
and the retailers offering knowledge. The store administration
framework idea will empower the stock and the store
administrators to refill stocks from stock room as they get Fig. 2. Working Model of Store Management system
drained from the store rack.
1) More proficient.
2) Exceedingly exact.
3) It requires less space when contrasted with existing
frameworks.
4) Ease.
5) Profoundly adaptable.
6) Simple to incorporate.

In Fig 2,The load cell and amplifier is connected to rasberry

pi, the load cell will check the load available in the shelf, load
details will be sent to rasberry pi to store the details. In Fig 3,
we have to install NOOBS software and we have to write
python code for raspberry pi and execute the code.

Fig. 6. Checking the stock details

In fig 4, we have to create the webpage in order to get the

details of stock. We have to write HTML code and execute it.
In fig 5, if we have to get stock details we have to connect to
the raspberry pi in order to know the IP address we have run a
command in the terminal. In fig 6,The load cell which is
connected to the raspberry pi will send the details about the
load in the shelf. When the shelf is full with the products or
items then the message will get is “IN STOCK”. In fig 7, the
load cell which is connected to the raspberry pi will send the
details about the load in the shelf. When the shelf is empty
without the products or items then the message will get is
“OUT OF STOCK”.

VI. CONCLUSION
Fig. 4. Execution of HTML code In this period of innovation multiplication and expanding
requests from the clients, conveying an advancing client
encounter is similarly an open door and in addition a test.
Store administrations engage a retailer to convey more
engaged and upgraded shopping knowledge for the in-store
retail clients. This innovation empowers the store
administrators to have a consistent data trade with different
members in the inventory network. Besides, it is able to do
proactively keeping away from "loss of offer" situations to a
bigger degree. In this paper the out of stock message will be
sent to the store manager website. We will propose a new
feature whenever the shelves are empty then out of stock
message will be sent to the store manager. So that the store
manager will intimate to store about out of stock so that they
can fill the items quickly.
