Paperless - Tool Crib Material Requisition System

Paperless replaces the classic paper tool-crib request slip with a proper digital workflow, across multiple plants at once. Employees browse the item catalog, add what they need to a session-backed cart, and submit a requisition, no more illegible handwriting or lost paper forms.

Requisitions route through a configurable, multi-level approval chain (role-based middleware, CSRF-protected on every form) before the warehouse team fulfills them, with full traceability of who requested, who approved & who fulfilled every item. Each plant runs against its own database via a plant-routing layer, the UI is fully bilingual, and management gets Excel (SimpleXlsx) & PDF (dompdf) reporting on consumption without anyone touching a spreadsheet by hand.

Built on PHP 8, PDO throughout with prepared statements binding every user-supplied value, and Composer/PSR-4 autoloading, same frameworkless MVC approach as my other systems. This is Digital Transformation in its most literal form: I took a 100% paper process and made it disappear, not a hypothetical, an actual manual workflow employees used to do by hand.
