develop an information system based on a computer sales and maintenance store of your choice

This is an individual coursework. You are required to develop an information system based on a computer sales and maintenance store of your choice. The store has a number of branches and there are a number of personnel working in each branch. Personnel can be reassigned to other branches to work. The store’s services include computer sales, repair computer parts and installing and upgrading software and hardware.

There are multiple owners of the store and they wish to have an information system that gives them up to date information about the current status of the business. The owners are often in different locations and therefore the system needs to be available from multiple remote locations. Furthermore, the owners have very little technical skill and therefore, the information presented to the owners must be in visual form (e.g. a dashboard).

The store would like to use the system for analysing sales, cost and customer trends. They expect it to be constructed in a way such that a range of queries are available to them. The owner’s most urgent need is to have information concerning the volume of sales of different products and services, the volume of sales in each location, and the performance of their sales personnel.
