This document describes a courier management system project developed in VB.NET 2010 and SQL Server 2008. There are five modules - booking, delivery, expenses, reports, and settings. The system aims to computerize the manual processes of a courier franchise to reduce errors and make work more efficient. Testing was performed on each module individually and after integration to ensure proper functionality. The project was successfully completed per requirements and will help users with an easy-to-use system to manage their courier operations.

3. This project is based on “FIRST FLIGHT COURIER SERVICE”.
This project is developed in ”VB.NET 2010” and “SQL SERVER 2008”.The
main objective of this project is to maintain and processing the work in “YES-
MARKETING” agency of “FIRST FLIGHT COURIER SERVICE
BATLAGUNDU FRANCHISEE” . This project is provided for making this
work as computerized one. So, the manual work can be reduced by this valuable
processing. It involves Booking Details, Delivery Details, Report, Expenses,
and Settings.

4.  In the existing system, the user faced problems during data entry, data
retrieval and in report generation.
 The various status of information is maintained in books and files
which is very difficult.
 Reports are produced by manual processing that will be an
unformatted and unreliable.
 Every time they need to write the details of regular customer.
 Data security is less.
 Calculations are done manually.

5.  The proposed system tries to avoid the problems arises in the existing
system
 Computerized of the existing system is done with the help of some
programming language & some database packages.so, it will easy the
work of the system
 It takes current date automatically from system. so, the user no need to be
entered it every time.
 If the consignor is regular then the user no need to enter his/ her name &
address. it can be derived from the stored database.
 The amount is calculated automatically according to the weight,
destination etc.. describing in the form from the rate table.

6.  Rate is easily quickly computed.
 Fast access.
 Better storage capacity.
 Accuracy in work.
 Easy & fast retrieval of information.
 Well-designed report.
 Works become very speedy.

7. There are five modules in our project.
 BOOKING
 DELIVERY
 DELIVERY - IN
 DELIVERY STATUS
 EXPENSES

49.  Testing is the process of executing a program with the in Intent of finding errors.
 A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an unpredictable error.
 A successful test is one that provides solution for an unpredictable error.
System testing is the stage of implementation which is aimed at ensuring. That
the system works accurately and efficiently before live operation commences. Testing is
vital to the success of the system resting making a logical assumption that is all the parts
of the system are correct, the goal will be successfully achieved.
The candidate system is subject to a variety of tests: On-line response, volume,
stresses Recovery and usability lefts.

50. Unit testing focuses verification efforts on the smallest unit of software
design, the module. This is also known as “module Testing”. In this project each process
are tested separately. This testing is carried at during module is found to be working
satisfactorily as regard to the expected output from the module.
Integration testing focuses on the design and the construction of the software
architecture data can lost across an interface one module can have adverse affection
another sub function and so on. This integration testing is a part that the software meets
all functional behavioral and performance requirements. The errors, which are uncovered
during integration testing, are corrected during this place.

51. This project is successfully completed and works properly according
to the needs. The usage of software increases the efficiency and decreases the
effort. The system maintains data consistency by avoiding manual errors such as
booking, delivery status etc. All the requirements regard to this problem are
solved the needs specified in the problem definition are fulfilled. This project
will help all end users as a user-friendly system.it has been thoroughly tested and
implemented.

52.  Within allotted time, we have solved more processing via this
project. It is very easy to enhance this project within small
number of modifications,
 In future we can use barcode scanner to scan POD numbers.
 This project will be implemented in asp.net in future and
maintain sub branches via internet.
