    The objective of this research work is to develop an inventory management system to improve the tracking, monitoring, and control of product inflows and outflows, thereby ensuring accurate and up-to-date information for decision making; the research was carried out at "CONDIMENTOS JV" company, located in city of Quito, which relies on an inventory management system based on the implicit knowledge of its staff, utilising manual records, lacking warehouse coding, and exercising no control over product consumption, thereby leading to operational disorganisation and the risk of stockouts. Faced with this problem, an initial diagnosis of the current situation was conducted using checklists based on 5S methodology and ARCSA sanitary regulations, revealing an incipient implementation level of 63.6% in order and cleanliness, alongside a 50% non-compliance rate with sanitary standards. Subsequently, an ABC methodology was applied to 104 products in the portfolio, identifying 18 Category A items that account for 79.6% of the total inventory value, upon which the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), Reorder Point (ROP), and Safety Stock models were applied to optimise replenishment. Using a weighted criteria method, Google Sheets enhanced with AppSheet was selected as the most suitable digital tool, scoring 4.35 out of 5. The proposal integrates an inventory control and management policy that achieved an 81.7% reduction in recording times and a 79.2% reduction in search times, whilst also decreasing recording errors from 25% to 5% and increasing staff productivity, thereby fulfilling the stated research objective.
