01
Overview
The Pharmacy Management System is a collaborative software engineering prototype designed around the daily inventory needs of a pharmacy. The team translated a business scenario into functional and non-functional requirements, an interface design, an application architecture, and a working Python desktop prototype.
02
Problem & goal
Create a clear system for recording medications supplied to patients, prescribed by doctors, or purchased from providers while helping pharmacy staff monitor quantities and prepare recurring inventory reports.
03
Solution
The team designed a Tkinter desktop interface with workflows for registering medicines, adjusting quantities, filtering inventory by laboratory, and generating daily, monthly, and annual summaries. The project also documented an iterative Scrum process, an MVC architecture, and a structured testing and quality-assurance strategy.

Key features
- Medicine registration with manufacturer, quantity, price, category, and date
- Inventory table with essential medicine details
- Quantity updates with safeguards against negative stock
- Inventory filtering by laboratory
- Daily, monthly, and annual report generation
- Status messages and input validation

Enrique's contribution
- Requirements analysis and system planning
- Desktop interface design
- Python and Tkinter prototype development
- MVC architecture planning
- Scrum workflow documentation
- Functional, integration, system, and acceptance test design
06
Technical considerations
- Organizing inventory data so registration, updates, filters, and reports remain consistent
- Validating quantities, prices, and dates before records enter the inventory
- Separating data, interface, and business logic through an MVC-oriented design
- Planning secure authentication, backups, and protected storage for a production system
07
What was learned
The project strengthened the team's experience turning business requirements into a testable desktop prototype, organizing work through Scrum, and connecting interface decisions with architecture, validation, and software quality planning.
