Introduction of the Study
The capstone project entitled “Shipment Management Information System” is a system that will automate managing of shipment information and processes involves in shipping product parcels and packages. The said project will provide a platform where all information about the shipment of products is available.
At present, e-commerce has become a trend due to its convenience brought to the retailers and most especially to the customers. Delivery services are the most important part in e-commerce in which parcels and packages of the customers are being ship. Shipping processes have loads of information to manage from checking the shipping cost, delivery details such as to whom and to where the products will be delivered, payment processes up until the completion of transaction. Shipping processes if handled manually will take time and is prone to human errors. Businesses are in need of effective tools to automate all of the processes to speed up shipment efficiently and in a cost-effective manner.
Proposed Solution
To address the problems mentioned above, the researchers of the study proposed a Shipment Management Information System to replace the manual process with an automated shipment management. The system will let the parcels or package shipping efficiently and will let the assigned shipping staff to ship a greater number of orders in less time. The system will let the retailers and customers access information about the shipment such as cost of the shipping up to whom and where the parcels will be shipped. The system will also provide payment options and updates to the customers who are very efficient and will improve customer experience and satisfaction. The proposed system will streamline overall process of shipment management.
Objectives of the Study
General Objective – the primary purpose of the project is to design and develop a system that will allow shipment management be done electronically and eliminate human errors in shipping parcels or packages.
Specifically, the project aims the following objectives:
- The system will help in managing all information about the product’s shipment.
- To develop a system that will help the clients or customers track and monitor the movement of their orders.

Researchers. The success of the system will give them credits in developing another successful program to help business sectors. Their experience also will further develop their skills and knowledge as programmers.
Future Researchers. If the study will result significant, it can serve as their basis in conducting their own version of the project.
Development Tools
Shipment Management Information System is a system that allows electronic management of details about shipping transactions. The system will serve as a platform where all information about the customers parcel or packages will be accessed.
This article will provide you with an idea on what are the forms to be included in a Shipment Management Information System. PHP and Bootstrap were used to develop the said template.
Documentation of the project is available upon request (chapters 1 to 5). Feel free to message us for the complete documentation of the project.

Conclusion
All types of businesses nowadays aim to fully optimize their operations to attain business sustainability and success. To fully optimize their operations businesses make use of technology to automate their business processes and improve their services and improved customer experience. The result of the study showed that the developed Shipment Management System met the need of the respondents and the intended users of the system. Majority of the project’s respondents and intended users have seen that the developed system have a great potential in completely eliminating the manual method of shipment management which is costly and prone to human errors.
The researchers of the study concluded that the implementation of the Shipment Management System will provide an efficient way of managing all related information about the shipping transactions. By using the system, all the lapses encountered in the conventional method will be eliminated and will be replaced with an electronic method which will help delivery services and businesses attend to shipping transaction of the customers effectively.
Recommendations
The implementation of Shipment Management Information System in parcel or packages shipment businesses is highly recommended by the researchers in order to ease up their job in managing all information about the orders shipping transactions. The developed system will provide a platform that will process, update and kept records of the delivery transactions. The system is highly recommended for its efficiency and reliability in automating processes and recording information of the customers, delivery personnel, transactions and other related data. The intended users of the system should be armed with knowledge in order to correctly utilized the developed system.
