Conceptual Framework

Computerized

Website and Webpage for
India Handumanan
Manual Database System Collectibles and
Inventory Souvenir Shop
System

The concept of the proposed system Computerized Inventory

Information system and webpage includes, web design, management,

web content, web server, web marketing, data and database in

order to provide the information of the customer. The theories

behind the information system are that it is combination of work

practice, information, people, and information technologies

organized to accomplished goals.

Webpage information. is document or information resource that is

suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through

a web browser and displayed on a monitor . This information is

usually in HTML or XHTML format, and may provide navigation to

other web pages via hypertext links. Web pages frequently

subsume other resources such as style

sheets, scripts and images into their final presentation.

Promotion. A strategic planning for increasing the sales.

 6

Website. Files and information located on the server connected

to the world wide web(www) The www is a set of protocols and

software that allows the global the global computer network

called Internet to display multimedia documents thus the

proposed system is organized information, people and information

technologies they would carry and the goals a person wants to

accomplished for the faster, easiest and most convenient work

for the efficient delivery of services.

Database Management System. Database Management System is

designed to manage large information. It involves storing and

manipulating information. Database use queries wherein it

interacts with the database to work with database data. Database

is any collection of data organized for storage in a computer

memory and designed for easy access by authorized users.The data

maybe in the form of text, numbers, or encoded graphics. Since

their first, experimental appearance in the 1950s, databases have

become so important in industrial societies that they can be

found in the almost every field of information. Government;

military, and industrial databases are often highly restricted,

and professional databases are usually of limited interest. A

wide range of commercial, government , and nonprofit databases

are available to the general public, however, and may used by

anyone who owns or has access to the equipment that they

required. Relational database, in computer science, a type of

 7

database or database management system that stores information

in tables-rows and columns of data-and conducts searches by

using data in specified columns of one table to find additional

data in another table. In a relational database, the rows of a

table represent records (collection of information about

separate items) and the columns represent fields (particular

attributes of the record). In conducting searches, a relational

database matches information from the field in one table with

information in a corresponding field of another table to

produced a third table that combines requested data from both

tables.

Data security. The DBMS can prevent un organized users from

viewing of updating the entire database. Using passwords, users

are allowed access to the entire database or the subset of it

known “subschema”.

Interactive query. Most DBMS provides query language and report

writers that let users interactively interrogatively interrogate

the database and analyze its data. This important feature gives

users access to all management information as needed.

Interactive data entry and Updating. Many DBMS provide a way to

interactively enter and edit data, allowing you manage your own

files and database. However interactive operation does not leave

and audit trail and does not provide the controls necessary in
 8

large organization. These controls must be programmed into data

entry and update programs of the application.This common

misconception about the desktop computer DBMS. Complex business

systems can be developed but no without programming. This is not

the same as creating less of data for your own record keeping.

Scope and Limitations

This study focused on India Handuman Collectibles and

Souvenir Shop at San Roque Street, Roxas City. The study covers

in building the Computerized Inventory Information and Webpage.

For the user online they can navigate the webpage with

friendly user interface. They have a user name and the password

for the security of their account. They can also browse and

query for the product they want to buy or order together with

the price of the product display with feature of how to deliver

the product with the information needed for delivery if the

purchase are verify and the payment is successful in the credit.

Computerized inventory information system webpage only covers

the whole region VI.

For the administrator it will be in charge in manipulating

the proper sales report and inventory and information of the

customer. The proposed system will be includes information such

as the product code, service and customer information where

he /she can add, edit, delete, and view the items that customer
 9

well purchased, a certain product. The propose online customer

will include personal information of the customer such us date

applied customer contact number, last name, first name, middle

name, age, address, monthly income, and personal password.

The propose system will include information such as sales

and service monthly report. It contains data such date sold,

first name, last name, principal, balance, and down payment. It

also a log in function for the administrator.

Significance of the Study

With the very advanced technology today, high existence of

excellence, organization and individuals were using the World

Wide Web for any purposes especially business transaction. The

Automated computerized inventory information system will benefit

store, manager, and clients .

For the store products, this then increase the number of

their clients with in their access whether inside or outside the

Roxas City. It will also help the company to promote their

product and service they offered wherein it follows the increase

the sales productivity.

For the clients, this system will somehow help them

decrease their effort in terms of products or items, wherein

they can already by or order the product and items via online. It
 10

will be efficient for them to search for service and newest and

latest trend of technology through the internet.

On the part of the researcher, it enhances and developed my

skills, as will it could also have the additional knowledge in

terms of programming and creating database and interactive

website. It will also update their knowledge about the latest

tolls used in programming. This study will also improved and

enhance their critical thinking and skill in analyzing such

case.
