i want to schedule one function in my controller every 5 minutes that is inserting files and product data in the DB.. how can i do that?

here is how data is updating in the DB with the page refresh but i want it to update automaticaaly after every 5 minutes so that without refreshing my data becomes visables on welcome page as well as the data is inserted automatically on function call(that should be after every 5 minutes). i am a beginner i tried to learn from laravel documentation but its not exactly displaying what i need.. your help will be appriciated... here is the code of how i am inserting data in the DB:

         foreach($files as $file){
            if (Invoice::where('file_name', '=', $file['file_name'])->exists()) {
            }
            else {
            $store = new Invoice;
            $store->file_name = $file['file_name'];
            $store->name = $file['customer_name'];
            $store->po_no = $file['po'];
            $store->address = $file['city'];
            $store->total_items = count($file['products']);
            $store->save();
            $invid = $store->id;

            for($x = 0; $x < count($file['products']); $x++)
            {
                $pstore = new InvoiceProduct;
                $pstore->product_name = $file['products'][$x];
                $pstore->invoice_id = $invid;
                $pstore->quantity =$file['count'][$x];
                $pstore->barcode=$file['scan'][$x];
                $pstore->vendor_code =$file['vn'][$x];
                $pstore->save();
             }
        }

and the function name is index i want to schedule this function every 5 minutes.. Thank you!
