        abstract = {Our project focuses on developing a barcode-based inventory management and product expiry notification system [1], [8] tailored for individual and business use. The system allows users to scan barcodes to add products into an inventory database and provides real-time expiry notifications via WhatsApp integration. For individual users, manual addition and scanning options are available, while businesses benefit from automated bulk scanning and advanced analytics, such as product shortages and sales trends. The system also features a responsive web interface with modules for home, features, contact, and user authentication, offering separate accounts for individuals and businesses. Built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, the backend supports real-time updates, secure user authentication, and scalable data management. The project aims to improve inventory efficiency, reduce waste due to expired products, and enhance user convenience through a robust notification system and insightful analytics.},
