1.INTRODUCTION

This chapter will deal with the background of the study, problem statement, proposed solutions,
objectives and significance of the project

2.BACKGROUND

This Phone and accessories system entails the online sale of mobile phones and their accessories
specifically .it allows customers to browse through mobile brands only and then check the different type
of mobile phones available in the market for a specific brand and make sure there’s reliability and its
guaranteed.

I came to this thought as when we go to online sale portals, they deal with a lot of products and
customers sometimes may feel it be too huge and confused with mobile categories that are available.
Hence came up with mobile online shopping.

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Nowadays people find it tiresome to get to specific mobile centers which deal with mobile sales .

It has become also quite difficult to access the specific original phones that relate to the brand you need
is quality reliability as customers get confused with the brands available as they are many they also get
misguided information by the sales person and end up not getting what they need in the end
4.PROPOSED SOLUTION

I intend to develop a phone and accessories system that will connect patients to available brands and
easily purchase their phones

It will be an easy to browse or use website which will showcase only mobile products. It will allow
comparison of prices for a particular price range mobiles of different brands thereby allowing the
customer to select one of them as per the features and reliability. This application will also deal with
mobiles spare parts or accessories too for all brands.

If the patient is not able to efficiently use the system then he or she can contact the shop and visit
physically for the proper guidance they need

5. OBJECTIVES

The objective of this project is to build an environment where various users can get phones and
accessories without much effort and fast delivery also get immediate feedback from the shopbrands

The main and most important objective is to develop the system which will consist of a users’/shops
login panel where they log in to the system and see patient requests for phones and whatever
accessories they need

6. JUSTIFICATION

I would love to bring encouragement and improve each person’s preference on phones so that people
would be comfortable and rely in the mobile brand they need in the future

7.LITERATURE REVIEW

While researching I found a beauty /skin care store called Skartek 254 that deals with mobile and other
device accessories and ships products from USA, CHINA, Korea and UK etc.

They deal with phones and machines users can access mobiles physically you can buy them all over East
Africa and you can visit the store located in Umoja and get the product you need
This is efficient only when the customer goes to get the product, he/she wants but there’s no online
accessibility whatsoever in the stores to solve your problem it can be efficient yes but with no
modernized way of purchasing phones in case a user stays far and wants to purchase the phone in the
shop is disadvantaged

I found this analogue since they have no platform for the users to access the devices and they only have
the seller physically whose only work is to sell the products but not to provide full guidance for the
product for users in need which is crucial and costly

8.METHODOLOGY

8.1REQUIREMENTS COLLECTION

In order to get information concerning phones and accessories in this system I will have to visit a phone
brand company inquire and get information and explore more about mobile consultations using
interviews and observation methods

8.2DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY

In this system the waterfall methodology is convenient to develop the system

Waterfall methodology is a software development process that emphasizes logical progression of steps
to be taken throughout the software development life cycle
• Preliminary analysis: During this initial phase, a review is done on the requests in a specification
document that serves as the basis for all future development.

• Analysis: During this second stage, the system is analyzed in order to properly generate the
models and business logic that will be used in the application.

• Design: This stage largely covers technical design requirements, such as programming language,
data layers, services, etc.

• Coding: The actual source code is finally written in this fourth stage, implementing all models,
business logic, and service integrations that were specified in the prior stages.
• Testing: During this stage and all other testers systematically discover and report issues within
the application that need to be resolved

• Operations: Finally, the application is ready for deployment to a live environment.

10.CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this system will prove helpful to urgent cases that do not have reach to physical stores in
shopping for mobile phones and other accessories

The platform will work well and will be beneficiary after accurately testing the phone and accessories
shopping system.
