An automated transaction system for Baraka Auto Parts

Abstract

This research project was carried out at BAP offices located in Ndeeba on Masaka Road at Plot 224 Masaku building. The major goal of the research was to develop an ATS to manage customers’ transactions. Currently, the information on car parts that includes availability and price is not readily available hence the customers of BAP are delayed when buying the car parts. The study focused on developing an ATS which will be efficient and effective to handle transaction records of BAP that will enable the manager and shop attendants to log into the system, using their usernames and passwords to access a listing of car parts so as to effectively serve their customers. The ATS database was developed using different languages such as HTML, JavaScript, PHP and embedded in MySQL. The database was managed on a WAMP Server to communicate with the respective clients who would access the various appropriate rights, based on their user logins and passwords which distinguish the shop attendants and managers. Thus the system enables the people in the company to also benefit from the use of modern technology in meeting their information needs.
