POINT OF SALE FOR STICKER CITY CNL

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a point-of-sale (POS) system for Sticker City CNL, a business owned by Mackenzie Castillo. Established in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sticker City CNL initially operated without a POS system, relying on manual calculations and online shopping platforms like Shopee. To address these inefficiencies, the researchers developed a POS system using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and PHP. The system includes a login page for data security, a homepage for navigation, a POS module for walk-in transactions, a user management tab for account access, and a product tab to display available items. The study followed the Waterfall Model of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), progressing through the stages of planning, analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and maintenance. The implementation of the POS system significantly improved the efficiency of Sticker City CNL's operations. It enabled faster sales computations, streamlined product management, and allowed the business to manage Shopee orders alongside in-store sales. The system reduced the time spent on manual calculations and inventory tracking, leading to more organized and accurate transactions. The primary objective of this study was to develop a POS system that minimizes time-consuming processes, prevents miscalculations, and enhances payment transaction organization. The system successfully automated sales calculations, improved purchase tracking, and provided users with secure website access. Despite multiple iterations and refinements during development, the final version of the system demonstrated a clear positive impact on the business, optimizing operations and improving overall efficiency.
