manually handle the purchasing information with the use of
basic office software, such as Microsoft office word and
Excel. It may result in having mistakes easily and the
process is very inconvenient. XYZ needs an online shopping
 system at their Intranet based on the requirements of users.
XYZ online shopping system has five key features:
(i) To provide the user friendly online shopping cart
function to members to replace hardcopy ordering form. (3)
(ii) To store inventory and sales information in database to
reduce the human mistakes increase accuracy and enhance
the flexibility of information processing. (3)
(iii)To provide an efficient inventory system which can help
the XYZ staffs to gain enough information to update the
inventory. (3)
(iv)To be able to print invoices to members and print a set of
summary reports for XYZ's internal usage. (3)
(v)To design the system that is easy to maintain and upgrade.
