ABSTRACT
The
research work “Store Management System” includes ales,
stock keeping, warehouse management, staff update, vendors update and
management, clients management and point of sales (POS). This work was done as a result to solve the problems
usually encountered in most companies. The Store Management System was achieved
using two programming environment: PHP and MYSQL, with php as front-end and
mysql as the backend database. The system can be entered using a username and
password. It is accessible either by an administrator or staffs. The interface
is very user-friendly. protected for personal use and the data processing is
very fast.

boundary of this work. Definition of terms gives summarize what each chapter
entails.
1.3 PROBLEM DEFINITION
This research work was undertaken to

area and will serve as a guild or blueprint for an undergraduate student.
1.6 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research work “design and
implementation of a store and “warehouse management system” will be a web-based
application and will be implemented on a relational database system(MySQL).
Html(hypertext markup language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) and JQuery will be
used to design the web-user interface, PHP (hypertext preprocessor) will be used
as the serve- side script language to link the interface and the database.
1.7 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF
STUDY
This research
work is to develop a system capable of stores and warehouse task such as sales, stock keeping, warehouse management, staff update,
vendors update and management, clients management and point of sales (POS).
The system will not
incorporate in its development all the functions of a store and ware house management system but will focus
only on the aforementioned functionalities. The system will not be responsible
for any loss of data if its environment (network/system installed on) is
corrupt.
