A Research Proposal of Billing System for SleepCozy Apparel and Clothing

Vol.3, No.1A

Abstract

Manual procedures in business decrease as computer technology and automated systems advance. One of the most important processes to consider in establishing a business is how you bill your customers. SleepCozy Apparel and Clothing has kept manual stock inventories, phone business transactions for gathering orders and delivering them to customers, manual billing, and manual report gatherings. The company must have an effective internal computerised system to handle and keep all the data and reports. An automated billing system seeks to increase efficiency by improving billing operations and saving time and money (BillingPlatform.com, 2020). The researchers used a System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to meet the system requirements in this Project Study. It consists of the following steps: Planning, the first step in the SDLC that determines the type of company best suited to the project research.

The second step is System Analysis, in which the proponents examine the system, the client's business process, and interview questionnaires. Following that is Project Development, which will start developing the prototype billing management system. This system is suitable to the needs of the client. After designing the system, the researchers will present the proposed billing management system. After the client adapts the system, the researchers will complete the proposed billing management system. When the client has already used the system, the proponents will need to ensure the productivity of the billing management system by offering maintenance to the client. Based on the research conducted throughout the project, the proposed system can reduce paperwork, eliminate errors, and quickly produce receipts with readily available formats.

Furthermore, it can generate invoices faster and more accurately. It also has master data as part of the system's planned features, including product availability, customer information, quantity, and other business data. A system inventory tracker can monitor the status of customer orders, is also operational and can assist customers in keeping track of their bills and other concerns. This study implies the importance of having a billing management system, not only or big firms but also for small businesses. Billing management systems can help improve the business process and assist business owners in billing their customers, generating different reports, and providing data security.
