Courier System Management

Within the country, the things can be imported
through post service. However, it consumes
the time & sometimes problem of damage or
missing occur. The courier service is one of the
solutions of these problems. It is used to send
some things to any person within time.

Meaning of courier services

Courier services means any services provided
to a customer, by a courier agency in relation
to door-to-door transportation of time
sensitive documents, goods or articles.

Aim of project
The main aim of the project is to develop an
application system that meant to partially
computerize the work performed by the
department.

Software process model

How existing system work

Limitation of existing system

1. There have no tracking system to know the
current location for courier.
2. Manual data entry.
3. Data may lost or damage
4. Any unauthorized person can access
confidential data.
5. Any information cannot be easily searched.

 6. Redundancy of data.
7. More time consuming.
8. Inaccuracy in transactions.
9. Slow processing.
10. All connection between Courier Company
and client is mobile based.

Proposed System
Online tracking system: A sender can track the
courier and identified the location.
Easy to get Branch office info: A navigator can
show all branch office info via webpage so it is not
necessary to go branch office for destination
branch office info.
Easy comparison: Navigator can calculate the
cost and easily compare other courier service.
Information access: A navigator easily can get
info about company and other like lost courier.
Online chat room: User can chat with company
through online chat room.

 Be update: Client get all update via Email or SMS

about courier e.g., whether packet is delivered,
pending or returned to the client etc.
Easy Redirect: Client can easily redirect the courier.
Easy in maintaining information: Staff can be
easily update information about a specific courier
using bar code reader or QR code reader.
Routing Information: A Sender can see the all
routing information and estimated date of delivery.
User satisfaction: The system is such that is stands
up to the user expectations like easy and faster
retrieval of information.

 Safety: The system will be accessible by only the

authorized users. As information, being the most
crucial for the organization, then the safety of
information is import.
Highly accurate: resources being used by the
system will be compatible with the latest
technologies available in the market, as proposed
system uses highly technically compatible
resources, there will be very less wear and tear.
Less time consuming: work carried out by the
staff at various stages will be less time consuming

Feasibility Study
Every software project begins with a judgment
as to whether the project is valuable or not.
This is called a feasibility study.
Software feasibility has three solid dimensions:
Technical Feasibility
Operational feasibility
Cost-benefit analysis(Economic Feasibility)

Technical Feasibility
This project is technically feasible. It
successfully satisfies the users basic
requirements. The tools and application
softwares used in this project are very popular
and easily available across the world.

Operational feasibility
The system will have easy to understand
interface for different modules. It does not
require any programming skill to use the
system. After a little training, the users will be
able to work with it at ease.

Cost-benefit analysis (Economic

Feasibility)
The organization expects a return on
investment. In this approach, two quantities
are calculated:
1. The cost of providing the system
2. The money saved or created by using the
system the benefit.

If the benefit is greater than the cost, the

system is worthwhile; otherwise, it is not.

Fact-Finding Techniques
Some of the most simple and useful fact
finding techniques that can or should be
followed are pointed out below:
Interview & Questionnaire.
Document Sampling
Work Site Observation.

Testing
Types of testing
There are two major type of testing
White Box Testing
Black Box Testing

Using white box testing methods all independent

path will be a module have been exercise once & all
logical decision were checked for the truth and falsity
of the values.

 Black box testing enables the software engineer to

find error in the following categories:
Incorrect or missing functions.
Interface Errors.
Errors in data structure or external database access.
Performance errors
Initialization errors.

Levels of Testing
The basic levels of testing are:
Unit testing
Integration testing
System testing
Acceptance testing

Unit Testing
Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest
unit of software design the software component or
module.
The goal of this testing level is to see if the modules
have been be integrated properly.
In other words, the emphasis is on testing the
interactions among the modules.

Integration Testing
The goal of this testing level is to see if the modules
have been be integrated properly.
The goal of this testing level is to see if the modules
have been be integrated properly.

System Testing
In this testing entire software is tested.
The goal is to see if the software meets its requirements.
System testing is actually a series of different tests
whose primary purpose is to fully exercise the computerbased system.
The types of system tests that are worthwhile for
software-based systems.
Recovery Testing
Security Testing
Stress Testing
Performance Testing

Future work
Provide GPS tracking system for vehicle, which
provide better tracking information.
Online bill payment and provide full support of the
debit card, credit card and others.
Storing large amount of data for future usage.
Reducing manual efforts for maintaining the system.
Emphasis on accurate data and reuse of stored data.
Complete automation, almost no need for manual
human intervention.
