Warehouse Wizards is a team project for the Temple University MIS 4596 Capstone Class. We have developed an app to distribute inventory to the most efficient warehouse in a multiple warehouse environment. The primary goal of our app is to improve shipping time and therefore hopefully have happier customers. Happier customers mean repeat purchases and better reviews.
