(3) Project Abstract

(a) Brief Introduction
POS, is the place where your customer makes a payment for products or services at your store.
Simply put, every time a customer makes a purchase at your store, they're completing a point-of-
sale transaction.

purchases. This application is for all type of business. Also, it offers to create multiple locations

(b) Brief abbreviated version
BRO-POS is a web-based point of sale (pos) that allows user to manage business, invoices,
stock, and purchases. This application is for all type of business.

(4) Project Background

Before this application, people usually do their book keeping manually. They either use a ledger
to keep count or do it all in their mind. This results in financial losses because this was not very
accurate and efficient way to do it. With this application people can efficiently and accurately
track their profit loss and also the payments that are due to receive and send. It allows users to
run their business more smoothly. It offers several benefits and add-ons that help you grow with
the same system as your business grows.

ORGANIZATION/CLIENT INTRODUCTION
Target audience
People who have their own shops or business.
Organization overview
Point of sale (POS), a critical piece of a point of purchase, refers to the place where a customer
executes the payment for goods or services and where sales taxes may become payable. It can be
in a physical store, where POS terminals and systems are used to process card payments or a
virtual sales point such as a computer or mobile electronic device.

(5) Problem
As we know, book-keeping is an integral part of a retail business and a wholesale business.
Managing accounts is very import for a business to be successful. Profit and Loss should be
calculated accurately so that business owner can run the business smoothly. Small local shops to
big super stores all need a point of sale to work efficiently. Owners are not able to track the
money without a POS, because he/she are not present at the counter the cashier is present there.
Employees cannot steal anything from the business because inventory is managed and
accounted.

(6) Project Description

The project is to create a Web based application to make a high-end ultimate solution for a Point-
of-Sale application. This will be usable for General Stores, Super Stores or any shop that sells
items and want to keep a record of inventory, sales, profit/loss etc. User will be able to manage
multiple business locations on a single dashboard. It will also have a simple POS Screen for
Cashier to use. User will be able to record transactions and also do credit sales. Software will
also manage purchasing of goods from different venders and keep a record of all.

It will be deployed online on a server or offline. The main benefit of deploying it online will be
that the shop owner can view daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly transactions anytime anywhere.
Software will also present multiple reports of every kind. It will also manage user permissions.

INITIAL SCOPE
(A) Project Scope
Project methodology
 We will use Incremental Model in our project.
 It divides our project system into incremental parts.
 It provides our project with the incremental phases like Communication, Planning,
Modeling, Construction and Deployment.
 All Phases execute at a time and repeatedly execute in incremental format until the
functionality of our project does not fulfill.
 It is easier for us to test and debug our project system during the small iteration.
 By using this model in our project, we can receive a complete and satisfactory
feedback from the user.
 It is easier for us to manage the risks that might occur and we can instantly make
changes according to the requirements of the user.

  This model is basically helpful for the small team and as we are only a team of three
members so we are good to proceed with it.
