Bidstacker's Inventory

General Information

My thesis project is now Bidstacker's inventory with over 180,000 construction products, structured and organized as JSON files for easy management. Each product and category follows a standardized structure (BK04-product group classification). Bidstacker can now smoothly update and maintain the products information using certain functions that are currently running with Postman.
