1. Introduction

The internet has become a very important aspect of life today. More than 3 billion people
of the world have an access to the internet, which is relatively 45% of the world
population. With this in mind, the rate at which this large population is seeking to buy
items is also on the rise, as many people are seeking advanced and ideal routes of trading
services. Some people spend a lot of money on transportation, using a lot of time of
which at the end of the road they might lack to get the desired items which they opted for.
It is open that most people are seeking to buy items every day in most cities and towns,
both locally and abroad, desperate if they might get a solution, or a right person to deliver
a solution to them. These people end up settling at items or service providers who are
conmen or who sell illegal and fake items to the desperate buyers.
On the other hand, there are legit business people and store owners who have quality
items in the locality of the auctioneer, but they do not meet for business because the
auctioneer is not informed about the items available. This is a great frustration in deed!
This project shall handle this issue by creating an online platform where a user will be
able to post items online for auction. The items will accompany item name, selling price,
and a picture presentation for the bidder to see. The bidder, if interested in the item, will
auction for the product and will be able to inspect the item physically to approve the
product then complete the business with the seller. The auctioneer will have a provision
to chat with the seller and consult with him about the details of the product. This chat will
be confidential only between the buyer and the seller, ensuring the buyer’s
confidentiality. The customers will be assured of getting the right products, since they
will take their time to analyses and compare a range of listed items and choose
appropriately according to their need or desire. This will save time that buyers take in
search of items and therefore they will save themselves from worsening of conditions
which may lead to wastage of time conditions. This will also save money that is spend
around travelling and bidding for the undesired items. Bidders will at the end of the day
have a reason to smile with this online system.
This system will run on the internet since of the dynamic nature of the internet, and
anybody can access it from smartphones. This is a sure promise that the system will serve
many people in the country, and in the future it will reach out to the whole world. The
system is a forum where the bidders meet their respective product sellers in their locality
on the internet to solve the problem of item auctioning.

1.9. Tools and Technologies Used with Reasoning

1.9.1. Development Tools

1.9.1.1. Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a source-code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux
and macOS. It includes support for debugging, embedded GithHub, syntax highlighting,
intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. It is highly customizable,
allowing users to change the theme, keyboard shortcuts, preferences, and install
extensions that add additional functionality.
1.9.1.2. Nodejs
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that executes
JavaScript code outside of a browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write
command line tools and for server-side scripting running scripts server-side to
produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser.

1.9.2. CASE tools

1.9.2.1. Microsoft Word

We used Microsoft word for documentation of the project such as proposal is made in
MS word.
1.9.2.2. MS Visio
The software has general drawing tools to accommodate any special needs you may have.
You have the complete flexibility of getting productive quickly using standard templates.
At the same time, the generalized drawing tools help you customizing the diagrams to
your unique and specific needs.
1.9.2.3. Agro UML
• Advanced diagram editing and zoom
• Extensible modules interface.
• Platform independent
1.9.2.4. MS Project
It is used to prepare the Gantt chart

1.9.3. Languages

1.9.3.1. React Native

React Native is a JavaScript framework for writing real, natively rendering mobile
applications for iOS and Android. It’s based on React, Facebook’s JavaScript library for
building user interfaces, but instead of targeting the browser, it targets mobile platforms.
In other words: web developers can now write mobile applications that look and feel truly
“native,” all from the comfort of a JavaScript library that we already know and love.

1.9.3.2. ES6
ES6 refers to version 6 of the ECMA Script programming language. ECMA Script is the
standardized name for JavaScript. JavaScript has remained the best-known
implementation of ECMAScript since the standard was first published.
1.9.3.3 Laravel
PHP is a general-purpose programming language originally designed for web
development. PHP code may be executed with a command line interface (CLI),
embedded into HTML code, or used in combination with various web template systems,
web content management systems, and web frameworks.
