INTRODUCTION
Online shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy
goods, services etc. from a seller interactively in real-time without an
intermediary service over the internet.
Online shopping is the process of buying goods and services from
merchants who sell on the Internet. Since the emergence of the World
Wide Web, merchants have sought to sell their products to people who
surf the Internet. Shoppers can visit web stores from the comfort of their
homes and shop as they sit in front of the computer.Consumers buy a
variety of items from online stores. In fact, people can purchase just
about anything from companies that provide their products online.
Books, clothing, household appliances, toys, hardware, software, and
health insurance are just some of the hundreds of products consumers
can buy from an online store.
Many people choose to conduct shopping online because of the
convenience. For example, when a person shops at a brick-and-mortar
store, she has to drive to the store, find a parking place, and walk
throughout the store until she locates the products she needs. After
finding the items she wants to purchase, she may often need to stand in
long lines at the cash register.
Despite the convenience of online shopping, not everyone chooses to
purchase items and services online. Some people like the idea of
physically going to a store and experiencing the shopping process. They
like to touch the merchandise, try on clothing, and be around other
people. Online shopping doesn't permit shoppers to touch products or 8
have any social interaction. It also doesn't allow them to take the
merchandise home the same day they buy it.
Online shopping allows you to browse through endless possibilities, and
even offers merchandise that's unavailable in stores. If you're searching
for a niche product that may not be distributed locally, you're sure to
find what you're looking for on the internet. What's even more useful is
the ability to compare items, similar or not, online. You can search
through multiple stores at the same time, comparing material quality,
sizes and pricing simultaneously.
Shopping via the internet eliminates the need to sift through a store's
products with potential buys like pants, shirts, belts and shoes all slung
over one arm. Online shopping also eliminates the catchy, yet irritating
music, as well as the hundreds, if not thousands, of other like-minded
individuals who seem to have decided to shop on the same day.
Say 'goodbye' to the days when you stood in line waiting, and waiting,
and waiting some more for a store clerk to finally check out your items.
Online shopping transactions occur instantly-saving you time to get your
other errands done! Additionally, unlike a store, online shopping has
friendly customer service representatives available 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week to assist you with locating, purchasing and shipping your
merchandise.
SYSTEM STUDY
Information systems projects’ originate from many reasons: to
achieve greater speed in processing data, better accuracy and improved
consistency, faster information retrieval, integration of business areas,
reduced cost and better security. The sources also vary project proposals
originate with department managers, senior executives and systems
analysis.
Sometimes the real origin is an outside source, such as a government
agency which stipulates a systems requiremetns the organisattion must
meet. When the request is made, the first systems activity, the
preliminary investigation, begins. The activity has three parts: request
clarification, feasibility study and request approval
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS
System requirements are expressed in a software
requirement document. The Software requirement specification
(SRS) is the official statement of what is required of the system
developers. This requirement document includes the requirements
definition and the requirement specification. The software
requirement document is not a design document. It should set out
what the system should do without specifying how it should be done.
The requirement set out in this document is complete and consistent.
CONCLUSION
This is to conclude that the project that I
undertook was worked upon with a sincere effort. Most of the
requirements have been fulfilled up to the mark and
the requirements which have been remaining, can be completed with a
short extension.
