Problem Definition

Using current system customers have to find their CD by checking their names, singers etc
manually. This may sometimes makes customers unhappy by not finding their products. Managers
or working employees cannot find the sales details of particular CD and thus cannot categorize
then properly. Under one store there are various types of CD sold and their managers find
difficulties to maintain the records of their vendors. It also creates difficulties in generating
reports and analyzes market situations as per customer demands and requirements.

Motivation behind this project

To help user in finding their products easily and thus saving time. To eliminate manual process of
storing information by using the concept of database as backend and providing graphical user
interface by using Visual basic as front end. Eliminating file keeping system and implementing the
use of data backup options to save their precious data.

Project Statement
Background – Current Process
Under current system users are not able to find their choice products by themselves. They have to
provide details to the shopkeeper of particular video CD and after that shopkeeper provide details
by checking their catalogue whether that particular CD is available in their shop or not. It is also
very difficult to categorize the products by using the year of release, artists, album names, price
etc. For getting details of financial transactions such as total sells of particular day, month etc its
users have to use the bill diary to calculate the overall selling of particular date and time. This
involves manual interaction which may sometimes results in an error.

Overview
This system will help their customers to find products as per their query in less time. User can
search any particular video cd using their year of release, any particular song name, artist details,
film name etc. Thus saving their time and eliminating the process of searching manually.
Admin will only have the authority to add records, delete records, modify any existing records,
giving permission to any employee. Admin can generate reports as per their requirement. Admin
will also able to add vendor details from where they purchased along with Video CD name, price
of CD and date of purchase. Admin can check the sells and purchase records by using information
stored in the database.
Working employee will have a valid user name and password. Employee will be eligible to
generate bills for the customers and receive payments. When the employee will enter the first
letter of the Video CD, then a list of available CD will appear from where they can select the name
of CD. After selecting the name, its price with its details will appear on the screen. They have to
only enter the total number of quantity or items, then after system will generate the total amount
which is to be paid by the customer.
