The problem

The End User

The Company is called Vesco and has 13 stores round the UK. The

manager from one of their London stores has asked me to do the

following for his supermarket only.

The Problem

A company called food on the go are their home delivery company. The

manager of Vesco has asked me to make invoices for the “food on the

go” company and their customers. The manager of Vesco called Dean

Smith said that their old way of billing people was very slow. What

they did was they would send an employee around the supermarket to get

each item that has been ordered and would have to add up the prices at

the end. He wants me to make it so that when his employees are doing

this all they have to do is type in the serial numbers of the items

and the computer will add up the prices and add VAT on its own. Also

he would like the individual items and the subtotal to come up on the

computer.

So when the delivery company is delivering the foods to the houses,

people will easily and quickly be able to pay because they will easily

see what they ordered. Some people may pay by cash or some may have

previously paid by credit card on their internet website. People order

their food by filling out and order form saying what items they would

like or they would fill out a form on the internet. An additional 10%

charge will be added to their bill for this service.

Possible Solutions to the Problem

Manual Solution

As they get their orders in they could write what is ordered onto a

piece of paper and put them up on a notice board, and at the end of

the week one person could go round the shop and get all the items from

every list.

ICT Solution

They could enter the items in a spreadsheet, this would be good

because a spreadsheet could add up the subtotal and add the VAT. After

adding the VAT it can automatically add up the final total.

My Solution Is…..

I will use the spreadsheet solution as the data incorporated in the

spreadsheet can be put into a formula and therefore can be manipulatededhat

time - consuming. ta i - consuming have fast access times. I suggest

that they use a CD-RW. by the computer, it can also be presented in a

good professional fashion.

I will use an ICT solution because of the following reasons:

The Advantages of Using the ICT Solution are:

· It is easier to edit the data and add up the data eg.
