COMPUTERIZED CAMPUS SHOPPING INTRANET

ABSTRACT

A shop is a place where various types of goods are packed and sold. Shopping is the process of purchasing items in exchange for money. Shopping intranet simply means using a private computer network, which uses the internet protocol in managing a shopping centre in a campus. The aim of the study is to design and implement a Computerized Campus Shopping Intranet using FPNO as a case study. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will display goods and services in the store, automate every sale effectively without mixing product prizes and store product detail using a secure database. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is as a result of the various challenges encounter in showcasing and delivering goods and services to different client around the globe where every business transaction involves an on presence for transaction to be successfully executed. The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. This software will help to make shopping stress-free and fun in the sense that you will place an order and it will be delivered at your desired location without stress. This software automates the existing system and provides more security. It will reduce pressure mounted on sellers from the buyers, and ensure transaction convenience. The contribution of this project work to the growth of ICT which fully means information and communication technology in Nigeria is to promote the use of shopping intranet for different campus as an educational tool. The expected result is a Computerized Campus Shopping Intranet that will process customer’s selected items in a shopping mall or supermarket, and the system will generates an accurate bill for payment purpose.
