Abstract: The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly transformed the healthcare industry, creating a growing demand for efficient, transparent, and integrated systems for managing medical equipment procurement and servicing. Traditional procurement systems often involve fragmented processes, manual documentation, and lack of real-time tracking, which leads to inefficiencies, delays, and increased operational costs. This project presents the design and development of a web-based portal for surgical product sales and service management, aimed at streamlining these processes into a unified digital platform. The system is developed using Python with the Flask framework and SQLAlchemy for database management, ensuring scalability, flexibility, and secure data handling. It integrates core e-commerce functionalities such as product browsing, cart management, order placement, and invoice generation, along with service management features like maintenance request submission, status tracking, and document handling. The platform supports role-based authentication to differentiate between users and administrators, ensuring controlled access and enhanced system security. By combining procurement and servicing operations into a single interface, the system reduces manual workload, improves operational efficiency, and enhances transparency in the healthcare supply chain. This solution demonstrates how modern web technologies can effectively address real-world challenges in medical equipment management.
