Problem Statement – Furniture store system Mr. Roberts, the owner of Furniture Stores wants to improve the efficiency of its business by using a new information system. He described his business operations as follows: We have eight salespeople in each store at 10 different locations. As the customers come in, they greet them and ask them what kind of furniture they are looking for. 

The customer has three options: buy furniture in stock, order (through us) from the furniture manufacturer, or get furniture transferred from another store (e.g., when the customer wants furniture similar to one in stock but in blue instead of in black). Customers can browse our online categories for orderings and purchases. The categories of furniture include: Dining Room, Living Room, Bedroom, Office, Outdoor and Kids furniture. The website is also used for advertising new products, promoting sales, offering new services, and displaying category menus for searching different types of furniture. We record our loyal (VIP) customers in our database to offer discounts for their furniture purchases. We have “weekly specials” where some furniture is offered with a discount in the store. Customers receive newsletters by email monthly for new events and promotions. We like to perform this operation on our website. A list of VIP customers is maintained. We like to use web services to enable customers to register their VIP membership for earning points. Certain points of a registered customer can be used for discount benefits. 

One senior staff maintains the inventory of furniture for the whole business. He/she records/updates/checks the current and new arrivals of furniture. The senior staff needs to purchase/order furniture from suppliers based on the stock analysis. Mr Roberts and the senior staff make the decisions on the prices of the furniture in the warehouse based on the quality, materials, and styles. We also have a contract with a delivery company for carrying furniture to our customers with a fixed fee. They always insure the delivery of the ordered furniture no more than 3 days from the purchase day. The scheduling of the deliveries will be sent to customers for confirmation. The salespeople work on a small salary, but most of their income is from the commission that they earn by selling furniture. There is an incentive program that awards salespeople with higher commission percentages as they sell more. We like to keep track of our salespeople’s performance and we choose a “salesperson of the year” who receives a bonus. The accountant generates reports about the business & finance revenue to the manager monthly. The accountant processes the tasks related to receivables and payments such as sales income, inventory purchase, and employees’ salaries.

 Mr. Roberts wishes to provide their services efficiently and effectively, they want to have a clear view of the Furniture stores' performance. The new information system should include major business activities such as point of sales including online purchases, furniture delivery schedule, salesperson management, inventory, management, and accounting management.
