The main objective of the study is to create an sales and inventory system
for WMV Enterprises. With the use of the system, the retrieval process will
speed-up. To be able to generate immediate sales report. With the use of the
system, the incomes are classified as product sales. The total sales are
automatically computed and sales report is generated. In addition, the user can
also view the total sales daily, weekly,monthly and yearly. In this way, it can
produce an immediate sales report. To provide an efficient monitoring of stocks
and re-ordering. By checking in the system, it will be easy to identify the number
of available and lessening product and which is need to re-order. In addition, the
expiration of the product is also monitored in the system.

Brief Description of the System


Information Technology or I.T is endless important to a business due to
its plethora of function. Firstly I.T can be used to enhance your customers
experience with your company, through use of a well-designed website. This
allows you to connect with people that you may not have previously been able to
reach, due to them living away from cities or even branching out overseas. This
is profitable for a business as quite simply, it brings in more customers and
therefore more money.
The used of automated system nowadays has a great impact in many
different fields, especially in businesses. In this dynamic environment, the
information processing of the business operations relies on the information
systems and technology. It paved the way to improvement and development of
the business process. One of the most common used automated systems today

is sales and inventory system. Its objective is oriented toward developing a


rhythm for keeping records, selling and inventory monitoring.
The DRRS (Darwin,Rose,Rio and Sarah) group performed the investigation
at WMV Enterprise. Rose and Sarah interview the owner and the staff of the
company while Darwin and Rio observed the flow of thier transaction or what
they do.
WMV Enterprises started operating since September 12, 2010, until now
with Ms. Riza Joy Villanueva the proprietor of this establishment. It is located at
Purok Atis, Sto. Nio, Panabo City but they are now currently living in Purok 3,
Barangay New Visayas , Panabo City.
In 2010 Ms. Villanueva is the one, who handled her own business until
she got the excellent management of it, and because of this, their business had
expanded, they can serve and give what the customers need. In order to be
competent in the business world, the company needs to improve its way in
servicing the customers and increase its number of stocks and commodities to
cater the growing number.
Regarding this, WMV Enterprises must adapt a better way about the
processes that should take place within the company, especially in sales and
inventory system. We used interview method to collect information regarding to
their current system since it is the convenient and easy way among others.
The company will now have exerted less effort and time to perform its
tasks. Accurate and lesser time in calculating , fast and efficient flow of business
is the other thing that the company will be experiencing while implementing this
system. And most of all, giving the customer`s needs and convenience, and
meeting its expectations would probably the best thing the company could ever
do.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
For the system to used by the computer they will need at least a
computer with high quality hardware in order to perform the desire output. Basic
computer fundamentals including some technical aspects must be given attention
for technical feasibility. If the result is handled properly, it is capable enough to
serve future needs. The system will be able to adjust and handle time and effort
for the transactions. This system is essential for the future because the
computerization of our generation is one of the common goals of most of the
companies in order to lessen the workload of the people.

Innovations have many benefits; however, there are also some drawbars.

11. What do you think are the most important skills in succeeding in
sales?
One of the misconceptions in selling is that to be a good sales person one
must possess great communication skills which in my opinion, having
excellent communication skills are not enough. One of the most important
skills in selling is interpersonal skills or people skills. Having different types
of customers, it is important that you can connect, relate, and establish
customer relationship with specific clients. Also, your ability to listen and
learn. Product knowledge is crucial in selling. It is important that you
know what you are selling with product knowledge, great customer
relation, and choosing the right words in product promotion, you can sell
anything.
