CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Today, the business is done online worldwide, the management
of institutions and company is done through network technology using internet,
all the systems of information management has been digitized. All these
innovations have the aim to simplify life by making a lot of things easily and
in a short time. Within this framework of ideas that our project: Online
Ordering and Inventory system which can be used by La GALETTE Supermarket as
my case study is developed as final work to fulfill the requirements of
obtaining BISM. As I started, many companies and institutions in our region,
particularly in our country, have lack of designed web based application that
could help and offer better service to customers, employees and administrators.
As La GALETTE supermarket has different types of product that are registered in
different register. These products have to be managed and stored or registered
and selling through on internet.
1.2 Statement of the problem
The problem currently facing the La GALETTE supermarket in the
existing system; the activities like ordering online their products,
registration of customers and users details, searching the products that are to
be put into their system, Also it doesn't easily store all transaction details.
Administrator does not properly and easily know situation of stock, and
sometimes the product are not verified on time. The number of product must
purchased is not followed. The main problem are make ordering online and to
manage the product on stock. The La GALETTE has no specific software
that help us customer ordering their product online wherever you are in the
world and help us to manage its inventory. These cause some problems such
as:
v It is not possible to sale the product online and customer
or client cannot order goods from wherever they are.
v It is very difficult to control and manage their
inventory.
That is why the La GALETTE need a software for using to
control all its inventory and all transaction related to ordering product.
The software will also manage La GALETTE to provide the right reports in real
time. There is a need of system that might be used to store different
activities' information easily and then, use those stored information to make
decision depends on privileges belongs to the users.
