Youth Fund Kenya Inventory System

📦YEDF Inventory System

Making inventory less of a headache and more of a vibe.

Let me take you back to my internship at the Kenya Youth Enterprise Development Fund. Sounds fancy, right? Well, it was... but buried under all the excitement was a messy little monster: manual inventory management.

Picture this, asset records scattered across spreadsheets, update requests buried in emails, and nobody ever really knowing who had what. I thought, “There’s got to be a better way to do this!” And just like that, the idea for Inventory Dashboard was born. 💡

I wanted to build something that felt smooth, modern, and actually helpful not another clunky tool people would dread opening. So I designed this dashboard to help teams track, allocate, and manage inventory like pros.

✨ What It Can Do

🟢 Live Inventory Tracking — See what’s available, who’s using it, and where it belongs.
👥 Smart Member Roles — Add or remove team members, assign roles, and stay organized.
📦 Bulk Actions — Import, export, and update lots of stuff at once.
🔎 Advanced Filtering — Find what you’re looking for in seconds, not hours.
📊 Interactive Analytics — Get a big-picture view of what’s going on.
📱 Responsive UI — Looks and feels great on both desktop and mobile.
🔐 Secure Login — Because nobody wants inventory data floating in the wild.

This project wasn't just about code  it was about solving a real problem that affected real people I worked with. And that’s what made building it so rewarding. 🙌

⚙️ Tech I Used (for the curious folks)

• 🧠 Next.js 15 + React 19

• 🎨 Tailwind CSS + Radix UI

• 🧾 Zod for form validation

• 📈 Recharts for beautiful analytics

• 🎯 Lucide Icons for that crisp UI finish

• 🧑‍💻 All tied together with TypeScript for a clean, safe codebase

If you've ever tried managing assets manually, you know the pain. This dashboard is my answer to that pain  born out of real-world chaos, and built to bring back the calm. 😌
