Requirement Specification Document Web Hosting Company Application Management

A System organization is an integral part of any growing business. With the increasing demand of customers, expanding clientele and frequent transactions, it is impossible to run any business well without maintaining the information in some systematic way.
In order to cope up with the overwhelming requirements for business, it is important to devise a strategic business solution that not only optimizes business but also saves time and effort.
1.1 Goals and objectives
The proposed idea of is to create a Desktop Application for a Customer Management Relation (CMR) which comprises of a database to hold information about customers, transactions and other business related activities. Apart from storing data, the tool also allows us to modify data and access it based on the level in user hierarchy.
1.2 Statement of scope
Specifications of the CMR tool include its remote accessibility, access hierarchy, data storage, data manipulation and record of monetary transactions. Since the CMR will be remotely accessibly therefore the client can place order remotely. Once the order is processed, the supplier/business can send an invoice confirming the transaction.
The two main components of the software are the database and the Desktop Application GUI. Key inputs to the CMR include customer information, order details, transaction history. Each user (customer, employee or management staff) will be recognized with a unique ID used as a primary key. Since each type of user will have his own access rights therefore, in contrast to the privileges of the customer. Employees will be able to create and edit orders as well as edit customer’s information and make payments. Managers, in addition to having access to all the employee functionalities, will be able to create new employee accounts, edit/delete payments. Customers will be able to create new orders, make payments and view orders.
