Proposed Solution

Upon analyzing the problem gathered in TH Garments Center, the proponents came up with the solution to the problem of the establishment which is thru the use of the computerized system that will help the company to minimize the slow processing of orders and automatically generates reports.

Title and a brief description of the proposed solution

Scope of the solution

Concept of operation

The TH Garments Center Sales and Inventory System starts with the admin manager when the registered admin manager activated the system he can now manage the system to add other users such as staff and cashier. If the customers wanted to buy a product, the staff can use the system to save the record of the products purchased from the customers after which the staff will save the record. The staff gives the records to the cashier to process the sales. After the process, the cashier would generate a receipt to be given to the customer. The manager will check the inventory records if there are products needed to stock in or stock out. If the manager noticed that there are out-of-stock products, the manager will order products to the supplier to be saved to stock in item records.
