ABSTRACT
The advent of wireless technology along with other communication techniques has helped in
making electronic commerce very popular. A modern forward looking product is the one that
aids the comfort, convenience and efficiency in everyday life. In this project, we discuss an
innovative concept of ‘ELECTRONIC SHOPPING’. The key idea here is to assist a person in
everyday shopping in terms of reduced time spent while purchasing a product. The main goal is
to provide a technology oriented, low-cost, easily scalable, and rugged system for aiding
shopping in person. Electronic Shopping is equipped with Barcode Scanner for product
identification and a consistent Wi-Fi connection with the shop's server. Besides, it also has an
LCD display that informs customers about product prices, discounts, offers and the total bill. The
barcode reader identifies the product and updates the bill. When the customer is done with
shopping, he can just press the End shopping button and the details are sent to the shop's server
and the customer has to pay just the amount and leave. These units are integrated into a smart
enclosed system and are tested to satisfy the functionality. The customers will be able to scan the
items themselves and the LCD screen on the shopping trolly will keep updating the total. This
will turn out to be very beneficial for the retail stores as more people will enjoy the shopping
experience and come more often to shop.
Existing System:
Purchasing and shopping at big malls is becoming daily activity in metro cities.
People purchase different items. After completion of purchases, one needs to go to billing
counter for payments.
At billing counter the cashier prepare the bill using bar code reader which is very time
consuming process and results in long queue at billing counter.
Disadvantages:
Proposed System:
The proposed system is easy to use and does not need any special training.
In this system there is inbuilt automatic billing system makes shopping a breeze and
has other positive spin-offs such as freeing staff from repetitive checkout scanning, reducing
total number of staffs required and increasing operational efficiency of the system.
Advantages:
