Grocery Store Management System
Published:
- Desktop applications for the daily activities at a grocery store.
- Developed two separate applications one for the clients who shop at the grocery store and the other for vendor.
- The vendor's application acts as a server and multiple clients can be logged in through different computers at the same time.
- Multi-threaded server was developed to handle requests from multiple clients at the same time.
- Username and password were used for authenticating customers and the vendor. Different applications would be opened depending on whether a client or a vendor has logged in.
- Sign-up page was implemented for creating the profile of new users.
- The profile of a user consists of identification information like name and address, a profile picture, and the signature which could be drawn by dragging the cursor in a rectangular region on sign-up page.
- Profile information including the photo and signature of each user gets saved in a MySQL database running on server.
- All items available for the customers were distributed into different categories like vegetables, fruits, cosmetics, etc. and a separate page was displayed whenever the user clicked on a category.
- A cart was provided to keep track of the products selected by the customer.
- When users check out, they get charged for items in their cart and an invoice is generated.
- The vendor's application keeps track of the number of items available in the inventory. The quantities of each item are updated as and when they are purchased by customers.
- New items can be ordered by the vendor through the application and inventory information will be updated accordingly.
- History of all transactions is saved on the server side.
