MoveYourBooksNow.com System Update
Problem Description:
Online Shopping has become a key part of everyday life for many people around the world.
Many individuals may have books which are no longer needed. MoveYourBooksNow.com is
a reliable online book exchange site that acts as a clearinghouse for individuals who want to
sell their books online to others by using the MoveYourBooksNow.com website. It is
essential that MoveYourBooksNow.com keeps up with the amount of people who sell their
unwanted books as well as keep up with the vast numbers of consumers who want to buy
books from the website. It is important that the company keeps the personal details (e.g.
name, addresses, banking details, contact details) of both the seller as well as the buyer, to
allow for effective business. In addition, that courier (shipping companies) has a system for
communication between the seller, the website and buyer to avoid confusion during the
process of shipping from seller to buyer. A rating system allows users to give a more visual
representation of the service given by the company. We as the System Analysis team were
assigned to aid MoveYourBooksNow.com by assisting them in updating their current
system.
It is recommended that the current system should be updated to allow the information of
the buyers and sellers to be up-to-date. We also suggest allowing MoveYourBooksNow.com
to provide the shipping from buyer to seller, instead of the seller shipping the book to the
buyer themselves. MoveYourBooksNow.com can also include a feature to allow sellers to
insert an image of the book so that the buyer may see the condition in a visual way.
System capabilities
1. Record the information for both the sellers and buyers in the database
2. Provide a secure chat forum for buyers and sellers.
