CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Every day, people use computers in new and different ways. Computers are progressively more affordable. They continue to be more powerful information-processing tools and easier to use. It affects the academe and the general public and this probably creates greater impact than at any time since the industrial era. And also producing an inevitable cyclone of transformation that brings about a level of change in people's personal lives. And it is all because of the innovations of technology of this modern times.
The impact of technology in modern life is unmeasurable, we use technology in different ways and sometimes the way we implement various technologies ends up harming our lives or the society we leave in. What we call modern technology is technically not so new in most cases. Technology is applied to the roles each individual fulfills during life. We use technology on a daily basis to accomplish specific tasks or interests. Modern Technology increases human capabilities and this technology has evolved with years. What used to work before, might not be working now, it must have got old or got replaced by modern technology.
It simplifies life in so many ways and everyone defines technology in their own way. To some people, it means complicated electronic devices. To others, it means the source of the radical changes that are happening in all phases of life. Others define technology as science applied to practical purposes. Some people fear to use technology while others see it as the source of longer and more complete lives. A way of looking at the world is a system. System is playing a more and more important role in the demands of analyzing and utilizing huge information gathered. It is all because of the great innovations of modern technology.
Today, one of the most common innovations of modern technology is the use of Computerized Sale System which is widely used in hardware stores not just locally but internationally. Because of its reliability, very easy and more convenient to use.
Most of the hardware stores in the Philippines is composed of several people that has its own specific functions, duties and provide services towards its customers. The reason to make things easier in the processing data to information was because of the urge for progress and development in tapping the information technology. The inter-connectivity brought about by the computerization has resulted to the generation of the sales which are done electronically. Through this innovative approach, there are existing systems were developed for the betterment of providing services most of the store desires.
On the other hand, Bulacao Enterprises Inc. that was established in 1960’s and started in 2002 is managed through single proprietorship. It has no other branch. They are using manual sale system ever since. According to Mrs. Ybarita, proprietor, they have encountered problems such as delays, delivering issues and time-consuming inventory of the items. These are some of the problems that exist on the current system. 
The researchers’ primary aim is to design a computerized system that would improve the manual checking of available items, calculation, and item inventory. The proposed system would change the traditional method of manual checking of available items, calculation, and item inventory. It would provide the users an easy and efficient way of making receipts.
Indeed, the researchers want to uphold a Computerized Sale System to solve the present problems of Bulacao Enterprises, Inc. The system will provide advance item inventory, fast and easy calculation of the bought items of the customers. The system will be developed to improve faster and non-time consuming to make receipts and item inventory.
The project utilizes an action-research designed to come up with a working model to establish and maintain a Computerized Sale System for Bulacao Enterprises, Inc.
Objectives of the Project
The primary purpose of this study is to analyze, design, and develop a model of Computerized Sale System for Bulacao Enterprises, Inc.
Specifically, the study aims to: 
 1.1 Provide accurate and fast access of items in the store like raw and hardware products,
 1.2 Provide real -time in retrieving and updating store items and delivering procedures,
 1.3 Improving the existing sale system,
 1.4 Provide easy and convenient calculating of bought items of the customers,
Significance and Impact of the Project
This project study intended to motivate and have one step provider to information towards benefit and need. The proponents have identified the following beneficiaries who will eventually benefit from the proposed computerized sale system.
Store. This study will improve the store from the traditional manual system. Not just simply to enhanced the existing system but also it will offer great advantages to Bulacao Enterprises, such as understanding an computerized sale system that is there to empower its users, database that simply provide data, and an system that provides the best information a user needs in order to do their task more effectively. The store could easily backup the information, easy record-keeping and easy item identification.
Owner. The Owner has accurate and up-to-date information that is available from the database. The data that was saved can be acquired from the computer can be accessed directly and easily. The owner will also be acquainted on how the data is being stored, and preserved for future generation of sales which is an advantage as non-IT personnel.
Employees. The Employees will only be inputting data to the database based on the sales. This will also add to the knowledge of the employees that information systems do not need to be a real-time to qualify that it is excellent. The employees or cashiers may no longer be writing down the receipt and calculate the total cost personally for it can be calculated and printed through the system.
Researchers. This study will be helpful to the researchers’ objectives, and strategies. It will also serve as a future reference for researchers on the subject that is definitely related to their field of expertise.
Future Researchers. This study will optimistically offer a huge value and advantage to the future researchers that will see the worth and the significance of the study on their field of expertise, and this could possibly provide as the basis, reference and an overview of how to smoothen the progress of problems in progress.

It helps keep track of the number of items left in the store and more accurate inventories. It will also enhanced the existing manual system to a computerized sale system. The proposed system will be implemented to the Bulacao Enterprises, Incorporated.
The system of items in the store like raw and hardware products will be updated and retrieved through the database of the system. It will also provide easy and convenient calculating of bought items of the customers.
Limitations of the Project
Only authorized users can access and manipulate the records on the database and must be privately given to that person upon request and will be maintained and protected. 


CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature and Studies

Related Literature

Before, data were collected and processed by hand in a variety of tedious ways. This caused more problems in accessing, retrieving, updating, and keeping files and records especially when there was a large volume of work and services to accomplish. The need for easier data gathering, faster and more accurate data processing triggered the advent of technology (Fouri and Aufiero, 1986).
The gregarious nature of man prompts him to accomplish more than what is presently available. Since there is a need of formulating a machine that can process and produce accurate information, computing machine called “computer” was created. With the aid of computer, tasks
that are accomplished manually and are time consuming are practically done at ease. It does the tedious work of maintaining and accessing information (Robert H. Blissmer, 1994).
Any tool like computer which helps in producing, manipulating, storing, communicating and disseminating information is called Information Technology (IT). Thus, it became virtually indispensable in the society. Every sector in society especially institution is practically using computers to facilitate its day to day operations. Most organizations are beginning to regard information as a resource produced by information system. An information system is the heart and lifeblood of an organization. This term is a generic reference to a computer based system that provides the data processing capabilities. It is commonly used in the business environment as a generic reference to all technologies, procedures, system and people associated with the information processing.



            
THE PRESENT SYSTEM
Company Background
            Bulacao Enterprises Inc. is a hardware store located in N.Bacalso Ave., Bulacao, Cebu City. It’s warehouse is located beside the BulacaoBaranggay Hall. It that was established in 1960’s and started in 2002 by George Ybarita. It was continued by his daughter Lorna Ybarita until now. It is now managed by Lorna Ybarita and her family. They have 10 employees. This includes the delivery men and sales ladies. All of them stayed for a long time. They sell different kinds of raw products. Such paints, plywoods, nails, paints, zinc roof and etc. It is managed through single proprietorship. It has no other branch. They are using manual sale system ever since.

Overview of the Present System

Currently, Bulacao Enterprises Incorporated provides different kinds of hardware and raw products to their valuable customers. In their warehouse, there are lots of stock items which are not  reallywell- organized. It is hard to identify the number of stocks of each item. With this, consolidating all the item takes time, making it an extra burden to their part. Ordered items that must be served to customers are sometimes delayed because they can’t easily identify if there are still available stocks in the warehouse. It takes time for them to count and to know if the number of the items meets the demands of the customers.
            There are also instances that customers are complaining because their orders are delayed, the calculations in their receipt is not that very accurate.
There is a need for innovations to be introduced to the current system in Bulacao Enterprises, Inc. An innovation is necessary in order to improve the existing system to lessen the problems being encountered. 
















 

CHAPTER 3

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

A store, is a retail establishment selling items to the public. A business that operates as a retail outlet will typically buy goods directly from manufacturers or wholesale suppliers at a volume discount and will then mark them up in price for sale to end consumers. The store plays a vital role and function to community for its servicesto their customers. The importance of maintaining consistent and independent information is one of the services that stores can provide, so that items will be sold in a fast and accurate manner.













THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

Overview of the Proposed System

In realizing the vision of dealing with the system at the store, a significant innovation called Computerized Sales System is proposed.
The system will run through the computer. This system is groundbreaking to promote connectivity, direct access, capacity-building and productivity. The system is designed to serve as a one-stopinformation resource center between the items or available stocks and the owner. It will be used for fast access of the items and in retrieving and updating store items and delivering procedures and also for calculating the bought items of the customers. A common database server from the computer will serve as the repository of all the store items.
 To a great extent, the store owner, and employees need to be conscious of howthe project can create difference in their service and positive change to their ways to embrace and appreciate the system.

Technical Feasibility

Technically, for the system to produce reliable and accurate receipts, easy storing and retrieving of the inventory of items in the stores, it requires the following: operating system, web server, database server, programming and scripting languages.
The study will be implemented to Bulacao Enterprises, Inc.
To access the system, it just requires password. System security is needed to prevent unauthorized person to access the information.  Only the administrator can access the system.
It will display all the available and unavailable items when doing inquiry. A confirmation message will prompt every activity made like saving, deleting and modifying information. An error message will prompt when error occurs.

Economic Feasibility

 Cost and Benefit Analysis
Cost and Benefit Analysis is one of the most significant parts of the Project Analysis. It will be utilized to determine whether the proposal is feasible, agreeable, accepted or not.
Cost 
The proposed system will be developed by the proponents using the project related tools and software of the College of Information and Computer Science with the investment of time, energy and effort by the proponents in dealing and developing the system.
