Problem

Pharmacy inventory must be tracked carefully to avoid shortages, duplicate records, and inaccurate product counts. This project was created to simulate a simple inventory management system that helps organize medication records and support daily inventory tracking tasks.

Approach

I built this project as a Java command-line application using object-oriented programming principles. The program uses separate classes for the application flow, inventory service logic, product data, and file storage. Product information is saved in a CSV file so data can persist between sessions.

Solution

The application provides a menu-driven interface that allows users to:

• List products currently stored in inventory
• Add new products with a unique SKU
• Update inventory quantities
• Delete products from inventory
• Generate low-stock reports
• Calculate total inventory value

Outcome

This project strengthened my understanding of Java, file handling, menu-driven applications, and data validation. It also helped me think through how a real-world pharmacy-inspired process can be translated into software logic. During testing, I also identified input-formatting issues, which reinforced the importance of validating user input.
