ABSTRACT
This report introduces a courier company in digital way. Means how the work inside a courier company ll be performed when everything ll be online. There are very much activities which are performed in such offices and which are worthy of being recorded for the future use, proper working and proper supervision and control .while creating this venture we have taken care of all of these activities and ‘ve given appropriate importance.
In this project we have taken care of all the activities in the form of records in the database, which have been created with utmost care and simplicity having all the features to reduce redundancy and remove inconsistency and to bring efficiency in insertion, deletion and updating of data. In all this project will be very much helpful to the courier company and all its customers.
INTRODUCTION
The project titled “GAP EXPRESS CARGO” is focused on bringing up most of the working of the Courier company digitally. The basic information that is to be stored and accessed pertaining particularly to this company is the information related to all the shipments, customers and the other employees of the company. The other information that needs to be stored is type of products we deal in the price ,cost, restricted items, careers and lot more.
For making this project we have made a database containing the information about the shipments, customers, employees etc. The database has been created using SQL SERVER.
FEASIBILITY STUDY
Introduction:
Feasibility study is a test of the system proposals according to its work ability and to meet the user needs and effective use of the resources. It is carried out to select the best system that meets the performance requirement, which entails the identification, description, and the selection of the best system for the job.
The feasibility study is carried out to test if the proposed system is worth being implemented. Given unlimited resources and infinite time, all projects are feasible. Unfortunately, such results and time are not possible in real life situations. Hence it becomes both necessary and product to evaluate the feasibility of the project at the earliest possible time in order to avoid unnecessary wastage of time, effort and professional embarrassment over an ill – conceived system.It is usually carried out by a small group of people who are familiar with the information system techniques, understand the part of the business or organization that will be involved or affected by the project, and are skilled in the system analysis and design process.
Evaluation of various alternatives
Before deciding upon a candidate system, the various alternative candidate systems were studied to explore the possibilities of using them and implementing in the given environment. The decision was affected by many factors, which include the existing environment and the software requirements. The candidate system proposed the given problem were as follows:
One possibility was to develop an application using Oracle 9i as the back end and Oracle Developer 2000 Tools. But this possibility was too costly as it was not available and the amount of security provided in that kind of database was not a requirement at top priority in the proposed software. Therefore this possibility was rejected. Similarly Microsoft Access is also not suitable for the candidate system and this possibility also rejected.
The other option was to use a small-scale database for single user purposes since the system was to be accessed by a single user at a time and a front end that provides Rapid Application Development and graphical user interface along with an elegant and easy-to-learn system. PHP5 fulfills these requirements for the front end and SQL Server 2000 as back end.
CONCLUSION
In the end we conclude that the project satisfies a lot of concerns of the courier company. Digitizing the working of Courier Company can be very helpful in its further working. Since the information is stored at a single place, the redundancy of data is also removed and the data remains consistent all the time. This might not be the best suited but is well suited software for the Courier Company.
