Abstract
This Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers Association (UTODA) database is developed to
show the efficiency of the company to the employees or staff. It's again developed with
an aim of enhancing its activities such as file management. The database is involved in
access of vital information about the company. Compilation of views from users who get
access to use it and this facilitates the decision making process. Hence increasing chances
of donors to facilitate the company.
Transport In formation System is software that can be used to keep track of the
information that is used in a company. A TIS is used to supports accessing the previous
repmis, payments of any individual, search for employee's data like name and other
propetties etc.
In most companies UTODA inclusive, there is increasing complexity and uncertainty, the
crucial task for companies, is to improve data storage and customer satisfaction by
provision of high quality data and service in the most reliable way. At UTODA, there are
reports of poor storage of data, a lot of data redundancy, lack of data integrity, high cost
of data maintenance, and higher rate of data dependency and deteriorating data
management capability. The cause of this situation has not been exposed, which makes
the current study a necessity.
Based on the problem stated, the researchers will design and implement a data
management system for UTODA in order to solve the current problems.
The main objective is to develop and implement a Transpmi Information System to allow
data accessibility and sharing of resources in order to reduce the cost of operation that is
cmrently faced by UTODA Company.
By the end of the study, UTODA will be able to operate a fast and efficient database and
hence enjoy the benefits of using a computerized database system which include; reduced
cost of operation hence more profits, ability to print better reports, reduced data
redundancy, increased data accessibility and sharing.
