Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research project focuses on the design and implementation of a computerized price determining system for shopwares. The traditional method of manually setting prices for items in retail shops can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Therefore, the development of an automated system to determine prices based on various factors such as cost, demand, competition, and profit margin is essential for efficient operations in retail businesses. The computerized price determining system will utilize algorithms and data analysis techniques to calculate optimal prices for shopwares. By incorporating historical sales data, market trends, and competitor pricing information, the system will be able to make real-time price adjustments to maximize revenue and profitability. Additionally, the system will provide recommendations for promotional pricing strategies to attract more customers and increase sales. Key features of the system include a user-friendly interface for shop owners to input product information, cost data, and pricing objectives. The system will also generate reports and analytics to track sales performance, pricing trends, and inventory turnover. By leveraging technology to automate the pricing process, shop owners can focus on other aspects of their business such as customer service and marketing. The implementation of the computerized price determining system will involve software development, database integration, and testing to ensure accuracy and reliability. Training sessions will be conducted for shop owners and staff to familiarize them with the system and its functionalities. Ongoing technical support will be provided to address any issues or concerns that may arise during the implementation phase. Overall, the computerized price determining system for shopwares aims to streamline pricing operations, improve decision-making, and enhance competitiveness in the retail industry. By leveraging data-driven insights and automation, shop owners can optimize their pricing strategies to meet customer demand and achieve business objectives. The successful implementation of this system is expected to result in increased efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction for retail businesses.

Thesis Overview

1.2    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM In every organization (OLUYOLE STORES) encounter numerous problems, which include keeping goods, maintaining, checking and having goods account records for goods in stock. Despite the good maintenance in the manual stock control system at OLUYOLE STORES, there will arise great inefficiency in its accounting system, as well as its record updating system. However, the main aim of this study is to incorporate computer into the daily operations of the store with reference to mainly it’s accounting system, as well as its stock control system and its day to day commercial operations. With introduction and application of computer into the operations of the STORE the organization will be able to improve dramatically on its daily information and accounting system. The above problems discovered therefore prompted to a software design to be able to add to existing stock and delete goods in stock collectively refered to as updating, as well as producing an accurate accounting system for the STORE.1.3   PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to design and implement a system that will eliminate the above problems such as misplacement of rital information, documents, records, duplications of efforts etc, and a lot of time is wasted or taking when locating and processing of vital files.
