ONESTOP GJSHOP: DIGITALIZATION OF SCHOOL MERCHANDISE PURCHASING PROCESS AT GENERAL DE JESUS COLLEGE

Abstract

An online school store serves as a multifaceted asset for educational branding. A well-designed and functional web store reflects a school’s commitment to efficiency and modernity. This study explored the development of OneStop GJShop, a web application that allows customers to place orders online. Using a descriptive developmental research approach, the researchers assessed the needs of 310 senior high school students. In addition, 30 frequent buyers of the traditional purchasing system evaluated OneStop GJShop in terms of its organizational, technological, and social benefits. OneStop GJShop excelled in three key areas: accurate product availability, a user-friendly design, and convenient 24/7 access. To further enhance the user experience, the researchers developed comprehensive manuals for both administrators and customers. These manuals provide step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for all users. Overall, the study concludes that OneStop GJShop offers a more convenient alternative to the traditional purchasing system. The system eliminates the need to visit multiple offices and provides diverse payment options, which ultimately leads to increased customer satisfaction.
