Swapp Desktop

A desktop application for managing a shop, built with Java and Swing.

What it does

Swapp Desktop lets you run the day-to-day operations of a small shop from a single interface:

• Clients: add, edit, search, and delete customers, including their address and purchase voucher
• Articles: manage your product catalog with serial numbers, condition, stock, and pricing
• Orders: track customer orders and link them to clients
• Repairs: log and follow up on repair requests
• Purchases: record material purchases for restocking
• Invoices: automatically generate PDF invoices
• Dashboard: get a quick overview of activity and recent notifications
• Users: manage who can log in and access the app

Tech stack

• Java (Swing for the UI)
• MySQL (database)
• iTextPDF (invoice generation)
• NetBeans (IDE)

Requirements

• Java 8 or higher
• MySQL server running locally
• The database must be set up before launching the app

3. Open the project in NetBeans (the IDE used to build this project) and build it, or run the JAR directly:
