How to Make a ERP App with Flutter
Inventory Management
class InventoryItem {
final String sku, name;
int quantity;
final int minThreshold;
final String warehouse;
InventoryItem({required this.sku, required this.name, this.quantity = 0,
this.minThreshold = 10, required this.warehouse});
bool get lowStock => quantity <= minThreshold;
}
class InventoryTable extends StatelessWidget {
final List items;
const InventoryTable({super.key, required this.items});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return DataTable(
columns: const [
DataColumn(label: Text('SKU')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Name')),
DataColumn(label: Text('Qty'), numeric: true),
DataColumn(label: Text('Status')),
],
rows: items.map((item) => DataRow(
color: item.lowStock ? MaterialStateProperty.all(Colors.red.shade50) : null,
cells: [
DataCell(Text(item.sku)),
DataCell(Text(item.name)),
DataCell(Text(item.quantity.toString())),
DataCell(Icon(
item.lowStock ? Icons.warning : Icons.check_circle,
color: item.lowStock ? Colors.red : Colors.green,
)),

UI & UX Suggestions
Use a clean white theme, red alerts for low stock, green for positive colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
