An auto body shop worker with no formal training has been tasked with creating a complete inventory management system from scratch, but struggles because part numbers cannot be scanned into existing systems.

Existing inventory systems rely on scannable barcodes or QR codes, but auto body parts often lack standardized scannable identifiers, making traditional systems ineffective.
