Project Introduction

I have selected an end user for my project. The Parker family own a string of stationery shops which have been very successful. However, the Parker family noticed that their selection of ‘post-it’ notes has become very successful and is the best seller for the company. The Parker family’s son, James, has decided to run a separate company, specialising in ‘post-it’ notes. The company will need to buy and sell goods and must have a fully functional system from which to direct operations. Currently the system is stored on file, which is on paper and not very convenient for a large company. The company is run from the main offices of his parents company and therefore will need to be on computer to take up less space.

        The system will need to be able to:

  • Have a catalogue of goods available.
  • Buy and sell goods.
  • Process delivery requests quickly and easily.
  • Produce a bill / receipt for the customer.
  • Keep a list of all stock levels.
  • Keep a list of all previous customers.
  • Produce multiple letters to be sent to customers.

All these requirements will need to be met in order for Mr Parker’s business to be successful. Mr Parker has decided to name his new business ‘The ‘post-it’ people’.
