OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the project is to develop a system that automates the processes and manages the information of a transportation company. The purpose is to design a system that allows one to perform various operations and tasks related to transportation sector. The application deals with cargo services.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
The present systems are operated manually using conventional methods. The system stores the information and details across ledgers and files. It is difficult to search for required data efficiently. Often the data is mismanaged and it leads to data losses. Generation of reports is also difficult. It is difficult to track the cargo and the present status.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
The proposed system is a web based application and maintains a centralized repository of all information. The system allows efficient management of data and allows effective access of data. Users can easily access the application and perform the required operations. The system provides easy to use interfaces.
MODULES:
The system is proposed to have the following modules.
Administrator module, customer module, booking module and employee
Module
Customer module:
This module provides customer related functionality. Customer must be registered to avail the services. Customer can book a consignment (goods carried by large vehicles). Customer can also cancel a booking, but before the goods are shipped. Customer can also find the status of the consignment.
Booking module:
This module manages all the orders and bookings made by customers. Customer can provide the destination address where goods must be delivered.
Administrator module:
This module provides administrator related functionality. Administrator can add, delete and edit vehicle details.
Employee Module:
This module allows employees to enter details of cargo and the present status of each consignment, which can be viewed by customers.
