1. Introduction
Nowadays, Business Industry faced with many competitions, it is becoming more essential for
companies to provide a product service. The computerization of purchasing system had led to
large reductions of cost, time and space. We can access information, exchange furniture
materials and services without limitation of time and location by the help of internet technology.
In this technology Online buying and selling is one of the grow thing application of internet
especially for countres, their economy is developing. The basic issue in building this website is
to develop online shopping , which enables us to display items and their prices.

An online furniture shop that allows users to check for various furniture available at the
online store and purchase online. The project consists of list of furniture products displayed in
various models and designs. The user may browse through these products as per categories.
Once user wishes to purchase he must register on the site first . And we will keep track of
information with computerize system that is working in employees of the furniture.

1.1 Background
Bogale furniture established in the humble beginning of on June 4, 2007 by three members with
initial capital of 500,000 birr for profit purpose and customer satisfaction as well that found in
bahirdar city. The furniture now has been expanding the capacity on supplying furnishing in
quality and quantity at the same time its capital potential is accelerating time to time by now, the
furniture is on process to open its branch the rest of region. But in the furniture every task
performed by human force and physical contact with the customer and with limited accessibility
products and services.

2. Existing System
The existing system gives services to its customers manually.

 Customer must come physically to buy products and services

 The System records documents on papers as result it needs more storage place and
resources and it is difficult to manage properly.

BAHIRDAR UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Page 1

  Data redundancy: Paper based documentation does not support integration of data, as
a result similar data may be recorded redundantly. This makes modification very
difficult and leaves inconsistent data here and there.
 We can’t buy at any time and any where

3. Statement of the problem

Even if furniture potential is growing in many aspects through time to time it, has its own
problems in the following issues.

 Bogale furniture currently accessible only for local user and with time limitation
 The process of buying and selling take place by physical contact with customer because
of this reason it takes much cost.
 Duplication of data will be increased as record keeping in manually and will be done less
efficiently, as adding, deleting and updating information.
 In the existing system all transactions, dealings of products, purchasing of products were
done manually which is time consuming.
 Informatios are prepared manually and the maintaining of reports is very tedious task.
 To buy any product user has to collect information about it either by visiting the shop or
asking people which is the better one.
 There is no computer system for handling payments. All calculations are performed
manually which may not be accurate always. Maintaining the record is really a tedious
task.
 Data was only being accessed by one employee at a time. This was time-consuming.
Hence, this led to the business being unproductive.
 Now different activities have done manually
 Since the furniture has been established it need many employee
 Less competitive with international firms

BAHIRDAR UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Page 2

4.Proposed system
The proposed system is used to solve the existing problems and it is expected to include the
following tasks:

 The system should be allowed to insert,delete,search, view, and update the data
automatically.
 To avoid data redundancy by using database management system.
 Allow users to purchase the required product from their places online.
 To overcome these problems in existing system we develop “online furniture shopping”

5. Objectives

6. Scope and limitation of the project

6.1 Scope of the project
The scope of the Project is mainly focused on Bogale online furniture management system that
found in Bahirdar city and largely focuses on developing web based application system including
the following scope and limitations:
 Scope for Furniture online Purchasing system is more focusing on the data information
and customer purchase item.
 This system is developed for a person who is responsible in purchase and order item
activity.
 This system is designed to handle a data from data information such as item and customer
information
 New system provides displaying items of the firm accessible to the world wide. Currently
the furniture is accessible only for local customer and with many limitations, like
accessibility anywhere at any time by the new system will solve this challenge.
 computerized system which has such a ability to handle any error that will occur
during manual processing and to reduce resource such as time and cost during
physical contact with the customer for shopping.

BAHIRDAR UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Page 4

 6.2 limitation of the project
 To use the system it needs some knowledge and it may be challenge to use for those
illiterate people.
 The proposed system is accessed by English language.

7.Methodology
This project achieved by different methodology like,

 We used Microsoft Visio, visual paradigm community edition and Microsoft

word tools to draw the diagrams and to modify and write.
 We will use HTML, CSS, Js and PHP programming language to develop the
code .
 We will use Notepad ++ and Dreamweaver editor to write HTML, CSS, Js
and PHP codes.
 With materials like flash, laptop, etc…
 SQL for adding, accessing and managing content in a database.

Data collection
