🔄 Evolutionary Overview (V1 vs V2)

This project represents a significant evolution from the original ABG Prime V1.

Version 1 (Parallel & Distributed Computing)

Version 1 was built on a Custom PHP MVC Framework for the Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) course. It focused on establishing the core business logic for Ordering and Inventory Management, providing basic CRUD operations and a modern UI using Tailwind & Flowbite.

• Context: Academic project for Parallel & Distributed Computing.
• Core: Custom-built PHP core files.
• Scope: Web-based ordering and inventory management.

Version 2 (Software Engineering 1)

Version 2 expands the scope into a full-stack Distributed IoT and E-Commerce Ecosystem as part of the Software Engineering 1 curriculum.

• Architecture: Transitioned to an N-Tier Distributed Architecture using Inertia.js for a Single Page Application (SPA) feel.
• Integration: Added a Python-based POS Bridge to handle physical hardware.
• IoT: Integrated RFID for item identification and IR Sensors for anti-theft security.
• AI: Integrated Google Gemini for automated customer support and AI-driven item forecasting for administrative insights.
