Title: Chattels Megacrop

Objective:

q The objective of the project is to develop a system that automates the activities and processes at a real estate agency.
q The purpose is to design a system that allows one to access the information and to perform various operations.



Existing System:

q   The proposed system is a web based application and maintains a centralized repository of all information.
q This enables one to search for the required data easily and one can perform various operations using the interfaces provided by the system.
q It is difficult to track and search for the desired information.
q Data is not maintained in a consistent format and this may make it difficult to correlate the data.
q It is difficult to generate invoices and other reports.


Proposed System:

q The proposed system is a web based application and maintains a centralized repository of all information.
q This enables one to search for the required data easily and one can perform various operations using the interfaces provided by the system.
q The system organizes the data efficiently and this helps in streamlining the data display to the users. The system also allows the generation of reports based on different criteria.

Study of the system:

To provide flexibility to the users, the interfaces have been developed that are accessible through a browser. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as
  1. Administrative user interface
  2. The operational or generic user interface

The ‘administrative user interface’ concentrates on the consistent information that is practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the data collection. These interfaces help the administrators with all the transactional states like Data insertion, Data deletion and Date updation along with the extensive data search capabilities.

The ‘operational or generic user interface’ helps the end users of the system in transactions through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as per the included flexibilities.

Feasibility Study:

Feasibility Report:

Preliminary investigation examines project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical, Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running system. All systems are feasible if they are given unlimited resources and infinite time. There are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:
  • Technical Feasibility
  • Operation Feasibility
  • Economical Feasibility




Technical Feasibility:
The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation includes the following:
  • Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested?
  • Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to use the new system?
  • Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the number or location of users?
  • Can the system be upgraded if developed?
  • Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security?


Operational Feasibility:
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned out into information systems, which will meet the organization’s operating requirements. Operational feasibility aspects of the project are to be taken as an important part of the project implementation. Some of the important issues raised are to test the operational feasibility of a project includes the following: -
·       Is there sufficient support for the management from the users?
·       Will the system be used and work properly if it is being developed and implemented?
·       Will there be any resistance from the user that will undermine the possible application benefits?
This system is targeted to be in accordance with the above-mentioned issues. Beforehand, the management issues and user requirements have been taken into consideration. So there is no question of resistance from the users that can undermine the possible application benefits.
The well-planned design would ensure the optimal utilization of the computer resources and would help in the improvement of performance status.

Economic Feasibility:
A system can be developed technically and that will be used if installed must still be a good investment for the organization. In the economical feasibility, the development cost in creating the system is evaluated against the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems. Financial benefits must equal or exceed the costs. The system is economically feasible. It does not require any additional hardware or software. 

Functional Requirements:


Number of Modules

After careful analysis the system has been identified to have the following modules:

  1. Administrator module
  2.  User module
  3.  Sales module
  4.  Reports module

1.  Administrator Module:
Administrator manages the entire application. Administrator can add, delete, edit and view plot and property details. Administrator communicates with potential customers and manages all transactions. Administrator also manages employee details working with the organization.

2. User module:  
         A user must register with the system to avail the services. A user can view the property details on display. A user can either purchase or sell the properties (plots, houses, flats, etc). A user can also make online payments and view the corresponding details.
3. Sales module:
         This module tracks and records details of each transaction. The details allow administrator to find the status of each property. The data can also be viewed by users.
4. Reports:
         The system allows administrator to generate various reports based on different criteria such as customer data, sales data and property information.
