Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
In our present society, technology has become a daily part of life. With today’s sophisticated
technology, everything is instantly connected to your fingertips. It has brought many possibilities
that were mere ideas and transformed them into practical applications for entertainment and
utility. The wide range of business services in the industry has continued to grow over the past
decade. Companies and shops do rely on technology to do faster and more efficient work.
Consequently, point-of-sale and tracking services are not left behind by the advancement of
technology. As the advancement of technology has already emerged, tracking service status is
significant and efficient.
The POS (point-of-sale) was a modern version of cash registers that calculated the purchase
amount of the customer's combination of hardware and software and payment services to make
sales in a business. According to Oktafianto (2021), the transaction recording system still uses
manual recording in books, which often causes various problems in managing purchase
transaction data, sales transactions, which are often inaccurate, service becomes slow, with a lot
of stock, the possibility of loss will not be caught immediately, and sometimes there is an
accumulation of stock. Moreover, the manual process has many weaknesses, including human
error, long data management, weak supervision, and low data integrity (Winarto, 2023). This
makes it difficult to cater, especially for large establishments. The web-based POS and inventory
systems do help in improving transaction recording, inventory management, and reporting in
various foreign businesses. And in terms of monitoring services, specifically monitoring repair
services, tracking systems can assist in efficient asset management by monitoring the status of
valuable equipment or resources. According to Jr. (2021), developing a tracking system optimized
for SMS data transmission could be useful for inland fleet management because of the
importance of service quality in the country's emerging market, particularly for small and medium
enterprises. A web-based repair service tracking system, like the J&T tracking system, was used
to track the status and update it in real-time, providing an efficient and assured view of the
customer's item status. A system that was developed can enable users or customers to look up
status updates. Wherever your location is, the customer can check and track you through the
tracking system.
The Lifezone Electronics shop uses traditional methods or manual reporting that takes a lot of
time. Furthermore, the customer will fail to know if the repair status is already done, which
makes it a waste of time for the customer to go to get the items repaired that’s not done. The
problem faced by the establishment relies on outdated or manual methods, such as paper-based
systems or basic spreadsheets, which are prone to errors and inaccuracies and are time-
consuming. The customers won't receive timely updates on the status of their repairs, and there is
no accurate time they can see if the item is ready to pick up or will update the status of the item
repaired.
Although there is several existing system, however there are still gaps between the existing
and the proposed system. The existing system consists of point-of-sales (POS) and inventory, but
do not have a repair services tracking system. Some existing system uses SMS or barcode to track
the items. While the proposed system, involves point-of-sales (POS) and repair services tracking
system.
Upon analysing the situation, the proponents came up with the idea to design and develop a
web-based point-of-sales (POS) and repair service tracking system tailored for Lifezone
Electronics. The admin can manage user accounts, monitor daily sales, monitor sales availability,
manage repair services, record purchased sales, generate tracking numbers for repaired items, and
print sales and repair items reports. Additionally, customers can track the status of their repaired
items through a tracking number via public viewing.

The input stage begins with an interview conducted by the proponents to the owner of
Lifezone Electronics. During this interview, information is gathered regarding point-of-sales
transactions and customer repair tracking services. The insights obtained serve as the foundation
for subsequent steps. We adopt the Agile Methodology, this dynamic approach involves several
iterative cycles; Plan, Design, Develop, Test, Deploy, Review, Launch. In the output stage, the
efforts culminate in two key deliverables; Manual System Software, this software manages point-
of-sales services efficiently and Repair System Tracking System, customers can access this
system publicly to track their repair requests.
1.2 Definition of Terms
POS System (Point of Sale System) - A software and hardware solution used by retail
businesses to process transactions, manage sales, and track inventory in real-time.
Service tracking - is the process of monitoring and managing the status of service
requests or repairs initiated by customers, typically through an online platform or system.
User Interface (UI) - The visual elements and controls through which users interact with a
software application or system, designed to be intuitive and user-friendly for effective
navigation and operation.
According to Jr. (2021), consumer-grade tracking systems exist but are not optimally
designed for low-cost operation in the Philippine setting. Tracking devices typically use Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies.
Commonly, for device management and real-time tracking, data is transmitted via General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS) to a proprietary or third-party cloud service. This method is costly in the
Philippine context as well as power-consuming. This study designed a tracking system optimized
for the short messaging service (SMS) mode of data transmission. This study covered the design
of a tracking device using consumer-grade hardware components, the development of a system
interface to enable remote operation using commands sent as short messages, the development of
a simple desktop client monitoring service, and actual field-testing using land and water vehicles.
The test results showed 100% tracking data delivery efficiency and a small difference between
mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) for each route, indicating that
there is a small variance in distance errors. The tracking device also performed well on a sea
route, which is comparable to a commercial standard GPS data logger. Test results also showed
that the device can be used for tracking applications, i.e., vehicle security, inland fleet
management, monitoring of tourist boats, and research or field surveys where GPS and GSM are
available.
According to Mendoza (2019), a point-of-sale system is an enterprise solution primarily
based on software programs used to tune sales time and inventory simultaneously. Manufacturers
and outlets can both benefit from a comprehensive answer, where single transaction entry records,
essential client details, purchased products, rates, and dates are also updated. The gadget would
be of awesome assistance due to the fact that it serves as many customers as possible at a speedy
tempo and helps to screen all kinds of data faster and more conveniently. The inventory point-of-
sale system may be a computer and more dependable than a physical one. The machine can
minimize upgrading botches and can be gotten to effortlessly.
According to Kambivi (2020), the development of the business world encourages
companies to always try to improve the quality of their products and services for consumers. The
implementation of these business solutions is a commitment to increasing the competitive
advantage of corporate customers in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, performance, and business
development. This research is to analyze and design a point-of-sale (POS) management
application to support the purchasing service system and stock of goods that can help small and
medium entrepreneurs in data management. The making of this POS application starts with
collecting all the data needed using observation and interview methods, designing an application
model with an object-based diagram approach with application design tools in the form of
flowcharts and Unified Modeling Language (UML), and then implementing this POS application.
The application of the point of sale (POS) application can help with the tasks of related parties or
all stakeholders related to the POS application.
This system helps to track parcel location information and update the status of the
parcel. Through this system this will help to provide an efficient and assurance of the
parcel's whereabouts. J&T facilitates express services for customers. A management
system that will develop and enable the users or customer to look up the status updates.
Wherever you are, you can always check and track through this tracking system.
2.3.3 Giga Trak Tool Tracking System Software
This system helps track and organize tools both in the warehouse and in the field. It
improves tool visibility through inventory management software. This system is easy to
implement with a simple user interface. Tracking equipment through barcodes provides a quick,
effortless way to document and track items that are moved around. Since it is not easy to locate
tools, GigaTrak offers an easy-to-use, workable solution for users. It helps maintain industrial
tools easily and simply.
2.4 Synthesis
The proponents discovered the same procedures of POS of both related systems and the
proposed systems. However, there are still differences found in terms of tracking the items. The
existing system uses SMS and barcode while the proposed system uses tracking number to track
the repaired item.
2.5 Technical Background
Table 1
Tool Description/Function
METHODOLOGY
Plan. Interview with the Lifezone Electronics owner for gathering data regarding the process of
sales and repair services and the problems encountered.
Design. The UI design and database structure are designed to help users and administrators
manage sales report, and repair services tracking.
Develop. To create the web-based system, use the software and hardware requirements. Any
necessary adjustment must be made immediately after considering results.
Test. The proposal respondents use the system to observe if it is surely reliable, efficient, and
effective in terms of its functions, as in contrast to their manual scheme. Testing the proposed
system is serious because it allows the association to regulate whether the system is fully
successful and can make the respondents’ work easier and faster.
Deploy. We can establish the system with the client if it is 100% secure and free of errors. The
client helps the system get better by giving feedback after its establishment.
Review. The system needs review to determine if there are necessary adjustments to be made and
if the necessary data is correctly monitored and assessed.
Launch. In final phase, after the proponents do testing and review the system to address the bugs
and issue based on the feedback collected, the system will be ready to launch and can be used by
the client.
This is the current sales monitoring process of Lifezone Electronics: when a customer
walks into the shop, they either purchase an item or request a repair for their item. After making
the payment at the cashier, the owner manually records the transaction in the record notebook.
