The inventory control system process includes storing product information in a database. Location information is also accepted and stored in the database in association with the product information. The system receives a command associated with the database and analyzes the command for an instruction and one or more keywords. Next, the database is searched for one or more products associated with the one or more keywords. A list of products related to the one or more keywords is then displayed. The system then accesses, modifies, retrieves, or deletes database information in response to the instruction.
