deployed at the customer database, the details of the items are brought forward
from the database for the customer view based on the selection through the
menu and the database of all the products are updated at the end of each

INTERPRETATION OF
THE RESULT

31

The system has been implemented and tested successfully. It meets

the information requirements specified to the great extent. although
the system has been designed keeping the present and future
requirements in mind and made very flexible.
There are limitations of the system. proper consideration has been
given for a wide range of new enhancements.The system is developed
user friendly.In future , if it is required to generate reports other than
provided by the system it can be simply achieved by a separate
module to the main menu without affecting the design of the system.
