CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Project Background
E-commerce is getting more and more attention from entrepreneur and
consumers, both local and international. By this reason, there is no way people can
neglect the improvement of the internet technologies. In the commercial markets, time
plays an important role to both the business and consumers. From the business
perspective, with less time spent during each transaction, more transaction can be
achieved on the same day. As for the consumer, they will save up more time during their
transaction. For example, a banking transaction can be completed through the Internet
within a few minutes compared to the traditional banking method which may take up to
hours.
The type of industry that is involved in this system is trading. The trading that
will be conducted is involving the marketing and disposal of souvenirs' product. These
products will be sold either in per unit quantity or wholesale. Individual person and big
and small retailers will be the buyers of the products. The current system that has been
used is a manual method. People have to go to the shop and the retailers have to make a
phone call to order the products. This is definitely takes time and wasting the people's
and the retailers' time.
The modules that are going to be proposed are online catalogue module, user
authentication module, shopping cart module and payment process module. All of these
modules will cover all the process of purchasing the souvenirs' products.
1.2
Problem Statement
The use of internet technology has become popular among people. The electronic
system can gives a lot of benefits in order to handle the task process. Data security is the
main reason for the development of this system. The way of managing and securing the
data can make the task become easy to deal with.
The problem statements are listed as follows:
Current system not efficient to handle big amount of data
Every day, hours and minutes, there will always some activities that will allow
the process of inserting data into the system. So by that, large amount of data will
be stored. In some current system, they cannot support the large amount of data
to be handled.
Current system cannot manage data systematically
Current system recorded data in a quite non-organized way. It will be a difficulty
for customer to view and search data in a faster way.
Lack of data security
The data that is recorded by using current system is easily to lose. It also can be
abused by unauthorized user from view the data. The data is hard to be backed
up and it will cause a problem if the current data lost. Some current system does
not have the login page where it will confuse the user whether the system they
are using is secured or not.
Data replication
The current system can cause a lot of possibilities regarding the duplicate data.
1.3
Objective
By developing this system, the objectives of the system have been identified. The
objectives are:
Time consuming
To enable the customer to purchase and order the souvenir online; fast and easy
way.
Cost saving
Reduce inventory, employees, purchasing costs, order processing costs
associated with faxing, phone calls, and data entry, and even eliminate physical
stores. Reduce transaction costs.
Secure payment system
From back-end user, the data will be stored and managed in a secured way
1.4
Scope
Project scope describes the domain of the project. For this project, it includes
system modules and target users. Each scope is briefly described as below.
System Functionality
User authentication module
- the user authentication is needed to enable the customer to insert the product
into the shopping cart or to make the payment via credit card or etc.
Online catalog module
- the online catalog module enable the customer to view the list of the souvenir
products
Shopping cart module
- enable the customer to put the items in the cart and then the software will
calculate the order including the delivery, the shipping and the handling cost.
Transactional module
- enable the customer to make payment for the purchased products through kinds
of payment such as credit card payment. This module has to deal with the
authorization process
User Functionality
Staff
- The administer of the company will use this system in order to manage all
information in the system. The system will guide the customers to access all
the details needed from the customers and information that can be added for
customer.
Customer
- The customers are the main person where all the process of the purchasing of
the product will be held. They can access the catalogue and make choices
whether to buy the products and put the item in the shopping cart or not. They
can also make payment via the transactional of the credit card or other kind of
payment.
1.5
Project Significance
This system can improve the existing system. Often the current system quite
confusing the customers and this will be a burden to the customers to buy the souvenirs
The features that are available in this system will benefit the Souvenir
Purchasing System. This project will help administrator or manager to overcome the
problems occurred before. By creating an advanced system which uses MySQL as the
Database Management System (DBMS), it will solve many problems because this
DBMS can manage data very efficient
Lastly, certain database operations such as backup data from the database can be
done using the transactional module.
1.6
Expected Output
By developing the Souvenir Purchasing System, it is hoped to be better than the
current system where it will ease the customer when purchasing or ordering the needed
souvenir. Plus, this system is expected to save the customer's time and offers them the
best management of data with highly secured process where they don't have to worry
about losing their money.
The system will be user friendly with common familiar icon and easy to
understand so that the customer doesn't have to be confused about the system. In order
of avoiding the data replication and redundant, the integrity and consistency of the data
will be kept by having the quality of database structure.
Another expectation of this project is that it will integrate with MySQL DBMS
which can help organize and store data safely in database. The data also can be migrated
to another DBMS such as SQL server. The data stored in database also can be backed
up. It is to ensure safety of data
1.7
Conclusion
Souvenir Purchasing System is a web-based system where it is being developed
to enhance the weaknesses of the current system. This chapter is about the early view of
what will be in the project from the developer's view. Project background describes the
introduction to the project as a whole. It includes the content of the project, target users
and the importance of the project. The problem statement describes the problems related
to why this project should be developed. From the problem statements, the objectives of
the project can be extracted. The scopes of the project explain the boundary of the
system while the project significance deliver what the system can provide based on
developer site. The expected output reflects the system's ability from user view. The
next chapter will be the literature review and the methodology to be used in developing
this project.
CHAPTER I1
LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY
2.1
Introduction
The main focus of literature review for Souvenir Purchasing System is to study
and understand other system, methodology or approach which this diverse resource will
be congregated and use as a guidance to develop a new system. As for this intention,
various resources such as internet resources, journals, books, articles and others provide
great extent imperative ideas for the foundations. Therefore, the following sub-chapters
are facts and findings, domain, existing system, technique, project methodology, project
requirements and as well the project schedule and milestones. With the following
amplification, the preliminary ideas will be incorporated into the system but not all.
Besides that, the project requirements including the software and hardware are
also included in this chapter. A Gantt chart will be created to show the time line during
the development of this project and the detail activities for each stage will be described
in the section of project schedule and milestones.

not have the login page where it will confuse the user whether the system they
are using is secured or not.
Data replication
The current system can cause a lot of possibilities regarding the duplicate data.
1.3
Objective
By developing this system, the objectives of the system have been identified. The
objectives are:
Time consuming
To enable the customer to purchase and order the souvenir online; fast and easy
way.
Cost saving
Reduce inventory, employees, purchasing costs, order processing costs
associated with faxing, phone calls, and data entry, and even eliminate physical
stores. Reduce transaction costs.
Secure payment system
From back-end user, the data will be stored and managed in a secured way
1.4
Scope
Project scope describes the domain of the project. For this project, it includes
system modules and target users. Each scope is briefly described as below.
System Functionality
User authentication module
- the user authentication is needed to enable the customer to insert the product
into the shopping cart or to make the payment via credit card or etc.
Online catalog module
- the online catalog module enable the customer to view the list of the souvenir
products
Shopping cart module
- enable the customer to put the items in the cart and then the software will
calculate the order including the delivery, the shipping and the handling cost.
Transactional module
- enable the customer to make payment for the purchased products through kinds
of payment such as credit card payment. This module has to deal with the
authorization process
User Functionality
Staff
- The administer of the company will use this system in order to manage all
information in the system. The system will guide the customers to access all
the details needed from the customers and information that can be added for
customer.
Customer
- The customers are the main person where all the process of the purchasing of
the product will be held. They can access the catalogue and make choices
whether to buy the products and put the item in the shopping cart or not. They
can also make payment via the transactional of the credit card or other kind of
payment.
1.5
Project Significance
This system can improve the existing system. Often the current system quite
confusing the customers and this will be a burden to the customers to buy the souvenirs
The features that are available in this system will benefit the Souvenir
Purchasing System. This project will help administrator or manager to overcome the
problems occurred before. By creating an advanced system which uses MySQL as the
Database Management System (DBMS), it will solve many problems because this
DBMS can manage data very efficient
Lastly, certain database operations such as backup data from the database can be
done using the transactional module.
1.6
Expected Output
By developing the Souvenir Purchasing System, it is hoped to be better than the
current system where it will ease the customer when purchasing or ordering the needed
souvenir. Plus, this system is expected to save the customer's time and offers them the
best management of data with highly secured process where they don't have to worry
about losing their money.
The system will be user friendly with common familiar icon and easy to
understand so that the customer doesn't have to be confused about the system. In order
of avoiding the data replication and redundant, the integrity and consistency of the data
will be kept by having the quality of database structure.
Another expectation of this project is that it will integrate with MySQL DBMS
which can help organize and store data safely in database. The data also can be migrated
to another DBMS such as SQL server. The data stored in database also can be backed
up. It is to ensure safety of data
1.7
Conclusion
Souvenir Purchasing System is a web-based system where it is being developed
to enhance the weaknesses of the current system. This chapter is about the early view of
what will be in the project from the developer's view. Project background describes the
introduction to the project as a whole. It includes the content of the project, target users
and the importance of the project. The problem statement describes the problems related
to why this project should be developed. From the problem statements, the objectives of
the project can be extracted. The scopes of the project explain the boundary of the
system while the project significance deliver what the system can provide based on
developer site. The expected output reflects the system's ability from user view. The
next chapter will be the literature review and the methodology to be used in developing
this project.
CHAPTER I1
LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY
2.1
Introduction
The main focus of literature review for Souvenir Purchasing System is to study
and understand other system, methodology or approach which this diverse resource will
be congregated and use as a guidance to develop a new system. As for this intention,
various resources such as internet resources, journals, books, articles and others provide
great extent imperative ideas for the foundations. Therefore, the following sub-chapters
are facts and findings, domain, existing system, technique, project methodology, project
requirements and as well the project schedule and milestones. With the following
amplification, the preliminary ideas will be incorporated into the system but not all.
Besides that, the project requirements including the software and hardware are
also included in this chapter. A Gantt chart will be created to show the time line during
the development of this project and the detail activities for each stage will be described
in the section of project schedule and milestones.
