Table of Contents
The rapid growth of technology restructured business transactions and operations. Different computer technologies and the internet empower businesses to centralize their operations and run their business fruitfully. Technological innovations significantly improved business efficiency and overall customer experience and satisfaction.
The researchers conducted the study to assess how different business owners and operators integrate technology in their daily operations and transactions. The use of E-commerce platforms and POS system became popular with the emergence of technology and the internet. However, some businesses have not fully adopted the integration of e-commerce and point of sale systems. Some businesses are not fully geared with technology that will help them improve business efficiency, productivity, and customer relationship.
The capstone project, entitled “POS with E-commerce Web Application” is specifically designed for the business industry. The system will allow seamless operation and transaction between business operators and clients. The system will remove the manual process of inputting data of sales, stock and inventory, and payment transactions of customers.
The researchers will develop the POS with E-commerce Web Application using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) technique. The SDLC approach composes of stages such as determining project requirements, data gathering, data analysis, designing, and coding that lead to the development of the software.
The implementation of the system will automate and ease up sales processes, tracking of stocks and inventory, purchases and payment transactions, and other business daily operations. It will improve business operations and marketing sales. The system will offer centralized business operations and transactions in an easy, accurate, and efficient way.
Introduction
The capstone project, “POS with E-commerce Web Application” is designed to seamlessly integrate the e-commerce platform and point of sale systems in business operations and transactions. The system will streamline the sales processes, tracking of sales and inventory, purchase and payment transactions of customers, and other business operations.
Traditionally, businesses rely on manual methods in operating businesses. With the advent of technology, manual methods became obsolete. Technology brought the use of the Point of Sale System in businesses. However, early POS systems offer limited features and functions that a business can use and integrate into its business. The rapid growth of technology offers more advanced point-of-sale technologies along with the integration of e-commerce platforms. Businesses must adopt the use of integrated e-commerce platforms and point of sale systems.

The said system will provide businesses with greater flexibility, control, and intelligence over their business operations and transactions. It will allow businesses to efficiently manage their daily business operations and transactions especially in attending to the customer’s inquiries. The said project will improve the business productivity and efficiency as well as the customer’s experience and satisfaction.
