CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The review of literature discusses or deliberates on the inspection and examination of the various areas in this chapter that will appear or contribute in the writing of this project such as the concept of online cash transaction, concept of computer networking and the internet, internet access, concept of internet gateways, the world wide web and its benefits and the merchant account.
All these will in one way or the other be part of the breaking down of this project topic.
HISTORY OF ON-LINE CASH TRANSACTION
This brief history of on-line cash receipt generation is taking its roots from the parent system which is the E-commerce also known as electronic commerce. Online cash receipt generating is the buying and selling of products specifically over the internet. Unlike the general name E-commerce which involves buying and selling of all other goods and services. It is interesting to say that the relationship between them is that there is an exchange of goods instead of at the location of the store; it is conducted on-line and makes use of technologies such as electronic data interchange, E-mail, electronic fund transfers or smart cards to receive payment and keep track of transactions.
As history has it, at the close of the 20th century the bulk of Online cash receipt generating as a part of E-commerce transactions were retail transactions as security and encryption technology over the internet improved. It was affected by the explosive growth in E-commerce due to the expansion of the medium (internet) in the late 1990s.
It almost moved faster than other segments of E-commerce transactions due to the ease and interest in people to be more knowledgeable. It spiced up the transactions in E-commerce because from the statistics E-commerce grew from $11.2 billion in 1998 to $31.2 billion in 1999, and in the year 2003, the transactions were predicted to grow to $380 billion. All these came to be as online cash receipt generating started to become one of the fastest growing segments of E-commerce. As it is said its transactions are business-to-business. Soon after then, companies like eBay created a new aspect of E-commerce which is the consumer-to-consumer transactions.
Conclusively, online cash receipt generating joined as E-commerce became the ideal medium for markets to experiment with adjustments in their store environments and promotions to reach the most effective market target.
CHAPTER THREE
INTRODUCTION
This section of the project deliberates on the source of information about the current system organization and maintenance. The organizational chart, representing the organizational structure of the supermarket in a hierarchical order will be illustrated. The problems of this system will be outlined carefully.
Finally, the proposal of the system to be developed, its exploration, input and output specifications, requirements and the scope will be expressed.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The main method of research concerning this project is by observation and interview with the supermarket members of staff. After frequent visits to the supermarket, it was easy to draw out conclusions from some observation about the current system. Brief interviews with some customers who agreed having an idea of the online cash receipt generating system were also of great help to this project.
ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDY
The Rorban supermarket is a supermarket like other supermarket established with the aim of generating some worthwhile revenue through the sale of products and services to customers.. The supermarket is located in owerri. Its missions are to provide customers with quality and edifying products and services for their use with ease at affordable prices.
CHAPTER FOUR
INTRODUCTION
Having heard and read all from chapter one about the old system and this new method that will be designed to restructure it. We have come to this chapter, the fourth chapter where the system will be developed and implemented. Also, before the end of this chapter, the main menu, web development, language development (selection), system flowchart, program flowchart, program source codes, hardware requirements and finally the documentation, all will be discussed in this chapter.
CHAPTER FIVE
INTRODUCTION
An adage says that every beginning has an end. With everything being under total submission to nature, we have finally arrived at the last chapter of this project work, this chapter discusses in brief all that have been said in the first, second third, fourth, and the fifth chapters. Also included are the summary, conclusions and recommendation parts of this chapter.
SUMMARY
On-line cash receipt generating system a unit of E-commerce is a website that will synthesize and increase the functionality of product sales. Although a lot of websites have been designed and hosted to achieve a lot of goals in different businesses, this one exclusively designed for Rorban supermarket will go a long way in boosting and unveiling the fortunes of the supermarket, and their method of operation which has not yielded sufficient profit as expected.
This the web designer/developer noticed and took up as a topic. All the steps starting from the first chapter are all designed to make the website project come through. For future references and modifications, the source code is also included showing the language steps used to design the website.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this is a user friendly website designed for on-line buying and selling of products with the capabilities of generating receipt. It is a site that inculcates the new web technology in its full design. When this is fully implemented it will promote and improve the standard of operations of the supermarket which is entirely manual. Furthermore, as the whole wide world walk towards living in a global community, the supermarket, will now fit into the global market community and be recognized. The inconveniences faced by our customers and unsatisfactory turnover will now be history.
RECOMMENDATION
Having presented all that is required for the successful implementation of this project research work, the following are suggested by the programmer aimed at improving and eliminating the problems encountered each day by both customers and the management. The measures are as follow;
- The server should be managed by a database administrator who has undergone training on using MSSQL database.
- A merchant account should be obtained from any of the financial institutions.
- There should be a regular update of the website so as to compete and give round the clock service to the people.
- There should be no hesitation in attending to the needs of the new system designed.
