Errors and mistakes are there in manual systems.

i). Proposed SystemThe proposed system should have following feature: Barcode reader integration. Single data and Bulk data entry. Capability to import data from excel sheet. Printing of multiple receipts. Accounts management should be there. Packet tracking system. Centralized system for multiple branches

j).Scope Of Proposed Systemo Registration of Client

o Single and Batch Data Processing

o Acknowledgement to sender via mobile SMS service

o Facility of frenchies to branch company

o Various discount plans for clients

o Online payment facilityo Local data processing at branches

c). External EntitiesAdministrator - Administrator is responsible for managing the

working of system. She/he has the all the security privileges to access the system. He/she has following tasks – 

Create new user of the system. Generate and view various Reports.

3). Security MeasuresThe security will be achieved in system in following way:

User level authentication through User Id and Password for each User.

Administrator level authentication through administrative Id and Password.

Hashed password is stored in database using MD5 algorithm so that even database administration is not able to get password.

4). Future ScopeFollowing modification or upgrades can be done in system.

More than one company can be integrated through this software.

Web services can be used to know exact delivery status of packets.

Client can check there packets delivery status online.

Distributed database approch in place of centralised approach.
