| dc.description.abstract | The number of mobile phone and Internet users in Uganda is increasing continuously, it is no doubt that online shopping market in Uganda certainly sees a rapid rise and great developing potentials with many investment opportunities. With the advent of the Internet and network technology, many organizations are now being equipped with Internet connections, either through wired connections or wireless infrastructure. Internet access provides customers an easy access to product information provided by supermarkets and ability to make online purchases using the available internet technologies. Supermarket Staff and customers therefore need a system to manage and facilitate online purchasing. There is also a need to move from time wasting, inconvenient and cumbersome manual methods of shopping especially for Uganda’s busy middle class who would love to shop from wherever they are. To fulfill these needs, we proposed a Web-Based Shopping System. The project involved developing a Web-Based Shopping System, which could solve the major problems being faced in shopping processes such as delays, inconveniences and congestion. This project describes a Web-based Shopping System that can be used by WAP- enabled cell-phones and computers which will allow users to register and create accounts with Standard Supermarket, browse available products online and carryout online shopping transactions using verifiable customer debit card details. The Supermarket Staff will be able to update the product catalogue and track customer transactions. WSS also includes a simulated Bank Application which is responsible for maintaining a database holding details of customers registered with the Bank who also happen to be Standard supermarket registered customers and their associated Debit card details. WSS includes modules for customer Registration, Ordering, Products updating and Debit card verification designed to help customers effectively carryout online shopping. The debit card verification module is designed to help the Bank staff verify and authenticate customer debit card details .The WSS is designed to be easily deployed and provides a simple yet intuitive, user-friendly and web-based shopping interface for Standard Supermarket customers and Staff. | en_US |
