This document describes a proposed departmental store item search engine project. It discusses the need to computerize the store's manual record keeping system to reduce errors and improve efficiency. The proposed system would allow items to be added, deleted, updated and searched. It outlines advantages like improved data access and security. Hardware requirements include an i3 processor, 4GB RAM, and 500GB hard disk. The system would be developed using Visual Basic .NET and an MS Access backend database.

2. . OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
This project is for the departmental Store where a lot of manpower and
clerical work is required for production management. Every detail about
the customer and supplier and their requirements and the employee pay
details are taken into account. It is quite a tedious process to maintain
all these records manually. It is also possible for errors to occur. In case
of manual handling difficulties arise in maintaining all these details and
updating is a cumbersome task so the computerized way of company
would be a remedy.

3. ITEM MASTER
Adding item
Delete Item.
Update item.
Search

4. EXISTING SYSTEM
Currently existing system uses the software that is developed in old version. The
software some what handles the situation. But still this software has some
disadvantages what gives way to develop new software.
Study of system is to understand the need, function and operation criteria existing
in a system. The system study is carried out to develop a new system, which
suit the needs as the user in an effective manner. It helps to develop a userfriendly system.

5. DRAWBACKS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM:
Since the existing system is manual there are chances of committing errors which
makes the Error correction more tedious.
The time of taken entering the details is more.
In case of preparing any reports the staff has to go analyze each and every
document and prepare the report

6. 2. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The system provides proper maintenance of records. Every data in the system is
properly maintained. The updating of data can be done easily. Certain
transactions are made. The management is able to make quick and proper
decisions. The system has been developed with good amount of flexibility.
Computerization ensures more flexibility and accuracy.

7. . ADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
Database Splited into Various Groups for filtering the data items and access
effectively.
High transaction performance.
Secured transaction and prevents unauthorized access.
Query and response for effective communication between the employees and top
level management

10. 1 SYSTEM TESTING
Software testing is a critical element and represents the ultimate view of
specification, design, and coding. The user tests it developed system and
changes are made according their needs. The testing phase involves it testing
of developed system using various kinds of data.

11. CONCLUSION AND FURTHER ENHANCEMENT
The system provides proper maintenance of records. Every data in the system is
properly maintained. The updating of data can be done easily. Certain
transactions are made. The management is able to make quick and proper
decisions. The system has been developed with good amount of flexibility.
Computerization ensures more flexibility and accuracy.
The reports generated by the system are faster and clear thereby avoiding the
possibility of misinterpretation. The interesting aspect of this project is its user
friendliness. The system is designed to meet requirements of all types of users
that will be of great usage. So this “Departmental Store item Searching
System” provides a complete solution to the managerial side of the Pipe
company in a very user friendly and effective way.
