An Information Management System For General Stores Case Study: Muru Enterprise Limitted

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to develop and implement an Information Management System for General Stores. We zeroed to one general store, Muru Enterprises Limited, since we had limited time yet all general stores have slightly the same activities. Interviews, questionnaires and closer observations were used to gather information about the existing system at Muru Enterprises Limited, which gave us a clear overview of the system requirements for the proposed system. Data flow Diagrams and Enhanced Entity Relationship Diagrams were used in the design of the system. We implemented our system by first developing a database where all the company information is to be stored. The database is interlinked to a webpage as the user interface for easy

data entry and retrieval. After analyzing the system data in the inventory, reports are drawn to the manager. To deal with delivery requests to the suppliers and customer tracking, messages are sent through an electronic mailing utility. Snapshots of both the interfaces and reports are presented in chapter 5 of the report. This project can be later upgraded to pursue the utility of an electronic cart or valley down to electronic commerce and electronic banking.
