1.3 Project Rationale
Benefit from the client
Here are the possible benefits of our system
Owner
•Time Savings – The amount of time that can be saved by a business is, perhaps, the biggest benefit of using a computerized inventory system. A great example of this benefit is the retail industry. In cases where a shop maintains all data manually, its manager must reconcile each sales receipt with every piece of physical inventory. Depending on the size of the establishment and how many different products are sold, this can be a daunting and time consuming tasks that same store, however, used a computerized point of sale, POS, system, the master inventory list would be updated electronically each time a sale is made. The only thing a manager would have to do each day is print out the report highlighting the inventory to be restocked.

•Accuracy – An additional benefit of using a computerized inventory system is the accuracy it ensures. When an inventory list is maintained by hand, the margin of error widens with each update. If one mathematical calculation is wrong or one typo is made, disaster may occur. For instance, if a clerk accidentally adds a zero to the end of a purchase order.

•Consistency – a small business operates most efficiently when its processes are executed in a consistent manner. By using a computerized inventory system, a business owner can ensures that all orders, reports and other documents relating to inventory are uniform in their presentation, regardless of who has created them. This will allow ease of reading. In addition, uniformity creates a professional appearance, which can go a long way to impress associates, such as potential investors.

Employee
•Cost Control – Keeping costs under control is one way to contribute to bottom-line profits. A distinct benefit of sales and inventory systems is their ability to control costs throughout an organization. These systems can meet strategic objectives for reducing waste, spoilage and incidents of mishandling by tracking inventory from purchases all the way through sales to end customers. Inventory systems can track inventory loss statistics and create daily reports for front-line managers, allowing the managers to address specific issues in their specific stores.

•Security – inventory and sales systems also help to reduce theft and collusion, which can be a persistent problem in certain businesses, such as retail operations. Inventory systems match up purchases with sales records to ensure that all items that coming in are either being sold or are accounted for in inventory storage counts.

•Accounting – automated inventory systems can help to simplify accounting activities in a company, serving the objectives of increased productivity and efficiency, as well as reduced costs. Inventory and sales systems can create regular, automated reports for accounting staff, giving them instant access to timely information to be used in posting to ledger accounts, creating reports for management and drafting financial statements.

•Monitoring – No matter what objectives a company sets as a part of its strategic plan, the ability to monitor progress toward goals is essential. The tracking and reporting capabilities of these systems makes achieving goals more transparent, as employees can access timely information on their progress toward revenue goals, cost-reduction goals and other inventory- and sales-related objectives.

Waterfall Model design
The waterfall Model illustrates the software development process in a linear sequential flow; hence it is also referred to as a linear-sequential life cycle model.

The sequential phases in Waterfall model are:
Requirement Gathering and analysis – all possible requirements of the system are captured System Design – defining overall system architecture
Implementation – unit testing
Integration and Testing – all the units developed are integrated into a system. Deployment of system – the product is released into the market Maintenance – issue which come up in the client
