 ABSTRACT
Imagine your shop without a point of sale or any reliable means of tracking the day’s

sales. This was the reality of many shop owners before the 1880s. Traders had little

insight into their transactions or income, and it was relatively easy for staff to steal from

the takings.

This changed when an unknown saloon owner from Ohio got an idea that had change

business forever.

The day in day out transactions of an organization is analyzed by our project to be a

risk if there is no monitoring system having an oversight over their transaction. This

particular project is solely channeled to sales transactions of which a research was

conducted by a four member team to understand the transaction system between a

particular shop and their customers and how the transaction is being monitored by the

high odds of the organization.

It’s quiet absurd that the very own employees seeking for a job chance can later turn

their selves into the little termites eating the organization slowly and bit by bit through

stealing and for their own selfish reasons so our research strongly suggested that the

organization in question must have a monitoring system to manage their organization.

Secondly in contest of sales, customer service qualities are questioned or taking into

consideration to monitor a good quality service relation between a customer and the

people at their service. In contest of supermarkets and retail centers, price change of

items in stalk might not seem a big deal to the employees at the service of the customers

but some customers don’t really take that likely because they sometimes calculate all

their expenses by the prices on the price tags provided by the shop and it sometimes

iv
take time to renew the price tags on the shelves and just this kind of confusion can cost

a shop a lot to the extent of losing customers.

After the above problems we came up with and taking other coincidental or

situationally possible situations in to consideration, we arrived at a decision of

developing a monitoring software for the supermart in question. The software should be

able to monitor the day in day out transactions made by the shop, And also provide

answers to customers who wish to confirm any price update through the end sales

system of the shop. And the software should be able to take records of all end sales

transactions for record keeping and it should also be able to print receipt for customers

for security reasons.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Memo supermart is an old but new retail centre that has struggled to develop for some years

now. A supermart or people will say a supermarket is a shop that deals in the purchasing and

selling of goods in a structured manner that favours both the seller and the receiver who

happens to be the customer. An old but rising retail centre named above was singled out by a

four member group who was on a search for an improvement in supermarts through

technological developments. A surfing was made through their sales system to detect ways to

improve their sales system and we came across a key problem we considered as a game

change problem that could upgrade their sales system by structuring a technological system

that will keep truck of the day in day out transactions of the shop which includes the stocks

that comes in and the ones that goes out. After a vivid surfing though their sales system we

arrived at a conclusion of developing a POS (Point Of Sales) system that will entail already

made structures that will keep truck of their sales system. It will entail three main parts, two

for record keeping, and the other one will be situated at the end sales system where the

cashiers may be in charge to ensure outgoing stocks may be recorded and every purchase

earns a receipt for record keeping. We considered a lot of procedures to go about the

development of the point of sales software that will supposedly be the solution we have to

offer the shop to get everything well structured enough for an easy but efficient sales system

in order to get proper managerial system for the shop and we arrived on a conclusion of using

and excel to develop such a system for the shop. One of our main reasons why we chose that

was because it is easier and quit simpler because we didn’t need any special calculation for

the system we just had to design the interface by using the excel tools and giving them their

functional commands by the use of the excel visual basics.

1
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A point of sale inventory management system allows a business owner to have more than one

business location and adequately keep track of inventory at each without being present. No

more worries about employee theft or pricing inconsistency between one location and

another. The boss can be away and not worry about employee theft. Employee efficiency can

be maintained. Point of sale systems take care of those problems that result when

management isn't present. Ravi (2010) pointed out that manual sales systems are time

consuming, it is very tedious, lots of paper work, slow data processing, it is not user-friendly

environment and it is difficult to found records due file management system. In an early age

when the most of the company are still using the manual system in the sales and inventory

most of the company encountered so many problems and this is because of the process of the

existing system is too slow and too long. According to Kaye Morris (2010), manual inventory

management system can help sales and production managers control costs by identifying lost

sales due to inventory shortages; inventory overrides on products that are not selling; losses

due to employee’s theft or damage. Implementing an inventory management system can take

a large amount of time depending on the size and diversity of inventory. ERRORS! Beyond it

being time consuming, inventory counts and incorrect sales figures can be detrimental to your

business (Juarez, 2010). 2 To overcome the deficiencies of manual system, many companies

have automated their inventory system. This system is used to track or monitor the

merchandise and goods of a retail store. With an automated Sales and Inventory System,

business rely on computers to do tasks that were once performed manually, such as inventory

check and product sales. Automated Sales and Inventory System these process can be

handled in a timely manner and also be more accurate and reliable than ever before (Hartman,

n.d.). It provides greater accuracy and more flexibility in the types of information and reports

that can be generated by the system. Point-of-sale systems have replaced traditional cash

registers, largely for functionality reasons. POS systems, as they are sometimes called, are

2
relatively easy to use and help provide valuable data for important decision makers. In order

to keep up with the record-keeping needs of small and mid-sized businesses, a good point-of-

sale system is a must. Web-based point-of-sale systems are preferred over software based

POS systems because they are easily upgradeable, and feature access from multiple

computers (Carter, 2012). The best thing about having a computerized POS System in your

retail business is: as new stocks arrives and as it is sold, it keeps the stock levels current and

updated, hence making it is easier to identify which items are selling and which items are not.

A POS System is also good in checking for any obsolete or out of date stock that needs to be

disposed. If you are still counting your inventory manually on the shelves or in the

warehouse, you should think twice about your method, for there are many advantages in

using a POS System. One advantage of a POS System is its ability to help your business 3

achieve detailed real-time stock level information. In addition, a POS System can also give

you information such as weather forecasts, public holidays and major sporting events, which

can be of great help in determining the stock level of seasonal products. You can now

efficiently and effectively handle your stock management accurately (Ganderton, 2010). One

of the biggest, and probably one of the most important, advantages of an automated sales and

inventory system is that it helps businesses focus on their biggest goal, to improve the

customers experience at the store (Mueller, 2011). With this system, companies can have a

better understanding of customer demand through the analysis of their sales and inventory.

The retail business owners can do online selling, electronic payment processing, integrated

accounting, marketing, video surveillance and much more in an easy way with no stress. The

inventory system enables to get a complete control over the business and it helps to perform

each and every task in a quick manner and this system makes your business to obtain a

competitive edge over your competitors. The ultimate aim of this system is to increase your

profit and sales. The complete inventory system will be very useful in making your business

3
perform well in the market and you can make accurate report with the help of this system

(Aspespos, 2011). Business professionals consider sales and inventory system as the key to

better management of business. It is the heart of most businesses and is design to aid in good

and manageable operation of transaction processing activities.

1.2. AIMS, RESEARCH OBJECTIVES AND RESEARCH QUESTIONS.

Aims
 The aim of these research or study is to be able to establish a well structured

sales system to manage a shop through the use of technological means.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
 Locating a developing shop or retail centre.

 Investigating their management system to detect the key solution we can

offer to take their work efficiency to the next level.

 Developing a stable and an efficient POS (point of sales) system to get their

monitoring system managed properly.

Research questions
 What management system does the shop in question use.

 What are the history of the mismanaged transactions that transpired between

the shop and their customers.

 Theft history.

 Stock trucking history.

 How is their end sales system like.

4
1.3 Research methodology
This chapter will deal with methods needed to complete the study. These methods

include the ;

 Research design.

 Sample size.

 Stocks managerial analysis.

 Data collection method among employees and customers.

This study will use qualitative methods. Survey questionnaires and interview guides

will be used to collect primary data to find out what managerial practice the shop is

keen to. Convenience sampling will be used because it will save resource and time.

In addition, the study area will be limited to 0nly one shop which is the Memo

supermart around north kaneshie area.

1.4 Organization of the study

The study is organized into five (5) chapters. The first chapter which is chapter one

concentrates on the background of the study, research purpose and research objectives. In

addition, It identifies the research methodology used as well. Chapter two gives insight on

review of related literature. This is followed by chapter three which discusses the

methodological approach of the study.

Also, chapter four present the data analysis of the study and Chapter five discusses the

summary, recommendation and suggestion for future studies.

5
1.5 Limitation of the study
There were many limitations to this study or let me say this project, most of the limitations

was solely on the development part where we faced a lot of challenges in inserting certain

features we thought could have made our system better but after thorns of research and

assistance from quit experienced friends already working around the software development

field no solutions were able to be generated to suit our system in order to make it better, and

we realized that the challenges were channelled to our development method. Using an excel

to develop a database was quit a problem and automatic decrease of stocks in the database

when stocks are purchased at the sales end also became another limitation we faced, Also we

faced a challenge in the refund process which compelled as to leave it out of our project

which decreases the quality of the system we intended to build.

Chapter TWO
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Inventory System
An inventory is a stock of items kept by an organization to meet internal or external

customer demand and is considered to be the final product holding up to be sold to a

client [2]. According to [3], An inventory system is a software-based business

solution used to simultaneously track activity and inventory. Manufacturers and trade

resellers can both benefit from a thorough solution, where single transaction entry

records necessary details on the customer, products purchased, price and date while

also updating the inventory. Using a computerized inventory system enables the user

to have an accurate product management and encourages the ease of interaction

between employees and shoppers as transactions are processed and items move from

the business to the consumer. Lastly, inventory systems save time for businesses by

speeding up transactions while raising accurate data which allows for confidence in

accountability among employees as it is easy to verify how much money was earned

and what time did the transaction took place.

2.2 Point-of-Sale System

According to [1], A point-of-sale system conducts payment transactions which

include a card reader, for payment cards and a cash drawer. It has three payment

7
 methods: Credit, Check and Cash. If the customer pays by credit, the cashier enters

the amount and the customer will swipe the credit card in the reader. However, if the

customer pays by cash or check, the cashier will receive and deposit the cash or the

check into the cash drawer and prints a receipt with a detailed transaction.

2.3 Agile Methodology

The agile methods are iterative development methods in which are done in

increments and involve the client during the development to receive instant feedback.

The method includes a Scrum approach which focuses on managing iterative

development. The Scrum approach has a fundamental feature called the sprint cycles

which is a planning system where the tasks and the features are evaluated and

selected for development. Then, the completed feature is presented to the client at the

end of the sprint [5].

2.4 Good Software Attributes

The essential attributes of good software’s are

 maintainability: software must evolve to meet changing needs,

 dependability & security: software must be trustworthy,

 efficiency: software should not make wasteful use of system resources,

 acceptability: software must be understood and accepted by the users.

These attributes should deliver the required functionality and performance to the user

and should be maintainable, dependable and acceptable [5].

Chapter Three

3.0 Methodology
The paper adopts a problem-oriented research method wherein, according to [4], the

objective is to define the problem and formulate a solution that would solve the

client's predicaments. The methods used in the process of solving the problem is a

combination of research and qualitative approach. The research portion allowed us to

view other existing systems with similar difficulties to allow us to formulate an idea

on how to tackle the problems. We used the qualitative approach in collecting data

for the client’s predicaments. Hence, the methods to gather the data will further focus

on the client’s anecdotes rather than their numerical data. The initial data gathering

phase entails Interviews and Observations. Interviews with the managerial staff were

done to enhance our knowledge of the root cause of the problem. Observations

require onsite visitations to fully understand the business process and the effect of

the problem to their business process. Comments and anecdotes were transcribed by

journals and analyzed to identify the focus of the proposed system.

After identifying the data, we then created a prototype system for the company by

utilizing the Agile Methodology with Scrum. This methodology was a necessary and

logical approach for solving the client’s problems because it permitted the

involvement of the client in the development of the system. Thus, the development

of a prototype of the system is essential and required to prove that the design works

for the client given the necessary software requirements specifications. After every

sprint, a meeting with the client was held to present the updates and changes to the

system. We then receive feedback and comments from the client on the presented

prototype. The client evaluated our progress on the system after every sprint. The

9
evaluation was done using a survey to evaluate the system based on the good

software attributes namely usability, dependability & security, efficiency, and

acceptability. Each of the criteria was rated using the Likert Rating Scale, with

one(1) being the lowest score and five(5) being the highest score and then using the

mean score to determine the overall score. If the score is three(3) and above, then the

proposed prototype is acceptable for the client’s needs.

4.2 DISCUSSION
We gathered all of the client’s comments and suggestions during the evaluation and created

solutions that would cater the problems such as the manual sales system, an unreliable

inventory control, and long hours of calculating the business sales. The interviews and

meetings helped us and the client identify the root cause of the issues occurring in the

supermart. In addition to that, this allowed us to create and design a suitable prototype for the

problems that were addressed in table 1.0. we designed an architectural diagram where each

of the layers in the architectural diagram has a specific role and responsibility for the P.O.S.

and Inventory functionality that is needed to satisfy the client’s requests.

In each sprint, we had to demonstrate to the client company the work that we have done so

far in the form of prototypes. Table 2 presents the feedback that the client provided. Based on

the feedback there were changes on the usability of the prototype in terms of accessibility,

features added such as new user data fields to fix the unreliable inventory management, and a

functional reports generator to solve the long hours of calculating business sales. Upon

evaluation of the client, we scored 5 and 4.33 on the usability of our system for its interface

and its appearance, respectively, which reflects that our system is easy to learn and easy to

navigate. Dependability and security scored 4 which signifies that the client is confident in

the security of the system. The client gave the system’s efficiency a score of 4.33 to say that

system performs its functions swiftly and efficiently. Finally, acceptability score is 5 to prove

that the client sees the purpose of the system and the needs of the client are met.

16
Chapter Five

5.0 Conclusion and recommendation

We were able to identify several issues of the shop by conducting interviews with the head

manager and the managerial staff of the shop and by first hand observation in their business

environment. These problems arose due to the shop’s end sales system. The company often

experienced mismatched data in their inventory which led to slow updates of inventory

records. By using the Agile Methodology, we were able to adjust to the client’s demands.

Hence, the client evaluation showed the effectiveness of the prototype.
