Capstone Final

1. Electronics, both new and used You can acquire new gadgets from this electronic businesses. Nevertheless, the store may have a section for pre-owned things on occasion. This is ideal if you want to save money on your purchase while still obtaining higher standard items. 2. Go shopping on the internet Many businesses also sell their products online, allowing you to shop for your new gadget from the comfort of your own home. Some sites are accessible 24/7 a day, while others are only accessible within specific time zones. Nonetheless, being able to buy what you need without having to leave your house is advantageous. 3. A warranty extension If you're concerned about your equipment failing, an extended warranty might be the best option. Several electronic retailers provide this choice, which will safeguard any faults or defects that occur after the acquisition. 4. Device accessories Electronics stores will also sell device accessories. You can get anything you need to go with your new purchase! The store is guaranteed to contain just what you're looking for, from chargers to cases. 5. Professional advice Finally, many electronic retailers will employ professionals who are well-versed in all of the items available. They can assist you in coming to a decision and ensuring that you secure the best product for your requirements! This is incredibly beneficial if this is your first time purchasing something similar or if you are unfamiliar with electronics in general. 6. Gift certificates For special occasions such as birthdays or holidays, numerous electronic retailers may sell gift cards. This is a fantastic alternative because you can obtain exactly what they want without having to guess! The store may also run promotions where you can get the card for free if you purchase a given quantity. Economic Feasibility An economic feasibility study informs an organization about the costs associated with a current proposal. If, for example, a company needs a feasibility study on its payment- processing methods, the research might look at cost variables including electronic financing, security procedures, and permissions that apply to both e-commerce and ordinary transactions. The research will offer recommendations for the merits and areas for improvement for both types of transactions based on supportive evidence. Market Feasibility When it comes to opening a new retail store, choosing the correct location is critical to its success. A market feasibility analysis will help you figure out if your selected area is right for

5. Requirements Definition Statement System requirement - the needs of an organization, will drive the electronic store inventory management system. The requirements include details about the elements needed during the development process. Output, input, process, performance, and control are the five requirements. Output The system output will vary depending on the details of what the system analysts need from the system. The developed system will also provide the management with an opportunity to monitor the complete information regarding the inventory from any location and also make it easier to execute the real-time decisions by depending on the available information. The system will also be helpful for the users to manage and also to purchase the items. Input The system will allow the organizational personnel to manage the inventories effectively. The input of the barcodes, serial numbers, and many other IDs can track the details regarding A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O 1/7/2022 1/17/2022 1/27/2022 2/6/2022 2/16/2022 2/26/2022 3/8/2022 3/18/2022 3/28/2022 Gantt Chart

Economic The economic aspect is the second critical consideration when comparing the available options. There are two criteria under this economic consideration: cost and the maintenance and upgrades. The cost primary considers the initial cost for the acquisition of the products. Cost is a significant factor for the organizations and minimizing the cost by opting for a cheaper alternative could prove to be useful for organizations working on a limited budget ( Neuwerth, 2021). On the other hand, maintenance cost and upgrade are a critical element to consider given that the products could be used for a significantly lengthy period. The weight for cost is the highest with 25 because cost is a priority when deciding between the three options. Organizational The final criteria for the comparison of the alternatives are the organization under which there are two major factors. The first factor is whether it meets the needs of the employees while the second one is whether it will improve the operations of the organizations. Meeting the employee needs is critical to retention and the overall performance of the organizations. For this reason, it is very important to consider a options that will drive employee retentions high ( Fuller, 2018). On the other hand, improving the operations of the organization requires that the option is streamlined with the business process to guarantee efficient flow of activities. The alternative that is designed to meet critical needs of the business is the best solutions for this case. The Rationale for Option Three Based on the alternative matrix, alternative 3 is the best options to consider with a weighted score of 339 while the first and second alternative scored 322 and 195 respectively. Comparing the technical element of the organization. Option 3 scores fairly when compared to the other alternative for both GUI and technical knowledge. This score is fair because most inhouse developed software focus on practicality and functionality with minimal attention given to the user interface. However, this does not imply that inhouse software are not user- friendly. The correct inference would be that in-house software focus on developing software that perform the desired function. On the other hand, the third alternative scored poorly as far as the need for technical knowledge because designing a software from scratch requires a significant level of software development skills ( Fuller, 2018). Furthermore, the developer will be expected to perform thorough examination of the situation in the organization to develop a system that is tailored for the organization. Regarding the cost of developing the software, option 3 is an economically challenging alternative because of the initial acquisition cost. Inhouse software are built from start making them cost significantly higher than other alternatives. However, the cost of maintaining in-house software is less when compared to outsourced software. These costs are higher primarily when considering software that are not open sources ( Langhans, 2018 ). Finally, the strongest point in support of in-house software is that it is tailored to meet the needs of the company as well as the employees. Having a software that meets the need of the company is very critical for employee retention and subsequently, the success of the organizations.

Add Consumer The sale person will enter the sales and the details of the consumer from this page.

Touch screen monitor: Management and staff members will use this to login the EPOS system to check in and out, make orders, and generates sales reports. You will require a POS keyboard to access your POS software if it isn't a touch screen. You can utilize an iPad or other tablet as both a touchscreen monitor and an input device with the majority of current POS systems. money box. Cash drawer: You store cash here, secured and safe. Barcode reader: This is necessary for inventory management and order processing. These come in permanent, attached, and mobile varieties. Receipt printer: The retail store provides have digital records, many clients could still prefer a physical copy. An excellent illustration of a small-footprint, simple-to-use portable printer is the Star Micronics S230i. Mechanism for accepting payments using credit card: The most recent technology, such as chip cards, should be supported by a modern system, which should also feature a mag stripe reader for accepting conventional credit cards (EMV cards). Since payment support also provides, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, NFC mobile payments as well as Apple Pay. Back up System: There should exist various alternative backup systems installed in place to ensure data integrity for example:  External Online Storage Services  External Hard Disk  USB Memory Drive 9. Architectural Design This system architecture for this system is an applications tier which is a part of a three-teir design. A three-tier design enables the autonomous maintenance or replacement of any one of the three layers. Any system, whether a desktop computer, iphone, or ipad, may have the user experience deployed as a native application, web software, voice interface, and phone app. It makes use of a typical gui and runs many components on the application server. The db server's rdbms houses the non - volatile system storage logic. Most often, there are many intermediate stages. Three-Tier Architecture's Main Advantage It gives established a lot of flexibility since they may autonomously upgrade or repair only certain components of the program without having an impact on the final result benefit of the entire.By separating the front-end program from the databases that are chosen based on the specific needs of the client, the application can be scaled up and out rather quickly.

11. All your Implementation Deliverables Type Of Documentation Proposed Product documentation contains information on the currently under development product as well as directions on whether to carry out numerous operations with it. Specifications, technical information, system behavior, and guides are all common components of product documentation ( Ovaskainen et al. , 2017). This project will primarily focus on produc documentation as the final bits of prepearing from the implementation process. There exist two primary forms of documentation include: System documentation: Documents that explain the systems as a whole and its components are referred to as system documentation. It consists of FAQs, design choices, architectural explanations, and specification papers. User documentation: includes guides that are primarily written for computer programmers and consumer of the application. Tutorials, technical manuals, installation tutorials, maintenance guides, and reference guides are all examples of documented information. This documentation will be available to the users in the organization in an electronic format ( Ovaskainen et al. , 2017). The program designers will prepare the documentation for the project and share the document in the form of PDF to the management of the organization as a downloadable file that is accessible as the users start to install the application Type of Testing Program testing is critical for the successful implementation of this program. This process ensures that the program performs its intended purpose and assist the organization achieve its desired objectives ( Ovaskainen et al. , 2017). For the purpose of testing this application program, I would like to propose five specific testing for this program. Acceptance Testing This test examines whether the program has achieved the desired objective in assisting the consumers to meet the objectives of their tasks ( Eickhoff et al., 2017). In this project, acceptance testing will measure how the application program has assisted the retailers handle data regarding the sales of their products. Functional Testing This tests whether the program performs the task that it was designed to do. In this case, does the program record the information of the customers, record sales, and yield reports in the dashboard which summarizes the sales.

Interactive Testing This testing is also referred to us manual testing and it allows the developers to perform tests on how the users of the system operate the system. This test is vital for examining through physical interactions and observing how the users perform while using the program. Performance Testing This form of testing examines five key processes which includes the reliability speed, scalability, stability and how the software used the resources. Security Testing To guarantee that the software system as well as application are risk- and threat-free, security assessment reveals the system's weaknesses ( Eickhoff et al., 2017). These tests seek to identify potential computer code faults and vulnerabilities that can result in the loss of data, income, or brand among customers or other third parties. System Changeover Plan The changeover plan for this system will involve a direct change over. As quickly as feasible, the computers are switched, and the developed model immediately succeeds the old one whilst still shutting it down. The main upside to opting for this changeover is that it is cost friendly Type of Training The type of training for the implementation of this software will primarily involve the use of tutorials that have been provided in the documentations. Tutorials are critical parts of the implantation of a computer system, and they play a critical role in providing a more accessible alternative for the end-user ( Eickhoff et al., 2017). Type of Maintenance and Support Given that this is an in-house application, the proposed maintenance and support will be provided by the internal system developer. The users of the system will keep in touch with the developer to provide any help that is needed ( Ovaskainen et al. , 2017). This approach has the benefit of being effective and cost friendly given that the technical support also works for the store.
