In retail shops, supermarkets, and medical stores, managing product expiry dates manually is challenging due to the large volume of inventory. Failure to monitor expiry dates can lead to health risks for customers and financial losses for businesses. This paper presents Remindax, a web-based Product Expiry Alert System designed to automate the tracking and monitoring of product expiry dates.

The system is developed using Python and the Flask framework for backend processing, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend interface. Users can securely register and log in to manage product details including product name, category, manufacture date, expiry date, and quantity. The system continuously evaluates expiry timelines and provides clear visual indicators for expired and soon-to-expire products.

A real-time dashboard displays inventory statistics such as total products, expired items, and products nearing expiration. Additionally, an automated email notification feature alerts users about critical expiry updates even when they are not actively using the system. The proposed solution improves inventory efficiency, reduces wastage, enhances customer safety, and provides a simple yet effective tool for small and medium-sized businesses.
