Limitations of the current system

The current system is slow in terms of processing tasks. When a lot of

customers are present it is very time consuming to look for individual

products because of the large stock room. This means fewer sales

transactions are completed so overall there is less profit being made.

The customer filing cabinet is taking up a lot id space which can be

used for a lot of other things which is un-efficient. Also when a

customer comes searching for the customer details is very time

consuming and sometimes the details are overlooked so new ones are

made causing reputation.

If a staff report is created to see who has sold most products can be

done by the current system, but it can be very time consuming to go

through every invoice. This means that these types of reports are not

done despite the ability to do them no one does. The advantage of

doing such a report would be to see who doesn’t sell as much so more

motivation can be given.

The current system also limits the functions you can do because when

stock runs out it is hard to find out until sales rep comes looking

for the product. This means that they have automatically just lost out

on a sale. These are the limitations which with my system shouldn’t

occur.

New system

The new system will enable the users to process tasks quicker and with

greater easy. Meaning the new system will have a whole new stock

control database. This will definitely improve the time taken to

search for a specific product which will mean more customers are

attended too. With the aid of security different levels of system uses

can be introduced which would mean company information like employee

details can be stored on the database. This will also be a good

feature because it will mean when a sales transaction is made it will

be recorded so if errors arise in human error with sales transactions

the system can check to see who carried out the sales transaction.

Using the new system more better results and charts can be produced to

give a better prospectus of the company finance and how much profit is

being made. Also this can lead to queries being performed to see which

items sell the most so a larger variety can be introduced or the items

that don’t sell that well can be re checked to see why people are not

buying them.

With the new system it will be easier to do sales transactions because

the sales rep doesn’t have to worry about saving the transaction,
