The Design And Implementation Of Home Of Groceries Trader Application

ABSTRACT

In this day and age the process of buying and selling of commodities are usually done not physically but virtually, with the current situation that the world is in at the moment the process of going to the market to buy groceries is a major risk to both the seller and the buyer. But not only that, some people are often skeptical when buying things of that sort (i.e., groceries) in a supermarket where the guidelines of the novel- Covid19 are followed, they then to feel safer and more comfortable going to the traditional market where they are able to get prices direct from the sellers themselves there’s a comforting feeling in doing things the old ways. Now, Home of Groceries trader App is an app that is developed to tackle the aforementioned.

The purpose of the website is to enable users to surf through and find all their necessary needs from all part of the nation. Also, to tackle the issue of the trust, buyers are given prices straight from the market sellers, because on our platform everything is done and controlled by the clients including insertion, delete and editing of the products are all done by the seller, so the users get the way he normally buys groceries with the help of technology. The application also helps the customers track previous transactions include the price of that product and from which seller the product was gotten from for future reference. Also, a user can have a detailed search of a vendor by entering the name of that product in the search bar, the user can also choose to select the category of the product which will give him access to all the product that fall under that category, also, a user can choose to search a user based on the location which the user is. The main idea of developing Home of Groceries trader App is to give the users a free and fair market space where both the party of the seller and the customer can enjoy a seamless experience at the same time making their lives easier and safer. The Methodologies that will be adopted in the development of this project will be the Waterfall methodology and the Agile methodology. The waterfall methodology was chosen because when developing the application, the best way to follow was systematic approach which means all the processes involved lead to one another just like in the waterfall method. Although, since they are some unknowns the Agile method was adopted to design those processes. The Application was implemented using JavaScript for the logic and SQL for the backend.
