The main intention of introducing this system is to reduce
the manual work at Airtel Prepaid Office. Every sort of task is performed by
the system, such as storing the subscriber, outlets details to reducing much
paper work and burden of the file storage and calculating the credit and profit
reports in easier manner.
This project is entitled with “Automation of Airtel prepaid
distribution Accounts Management” is to make more user friendliness to the
Operators who are manipulating the Respective operations in the firm.
The objectives
of the project are:
1.
Manipulating the Sale Transactions,
2.
Maintaining the subscriber,
outlet details,
3.
Maintaining the daily and monthly transactions,
4.
Checking the Stock Updating,
5.
Generating Daily, Weekly,
Monthly Reports,
6.
Generating credit Reports.
Currently the firm is maintaining records manually. Now it has to be automated for the day-to-day
transactions and for all other purposes. That means for generating day to day
sale transaction, monthly reports and Yearly Reports.
Introduction:
Purpose
of the System:
The “Automation of Airtel
Prepaid Distribution Accounts Management” project gives complete reference to
the distributor and operator who works for the specified tasks in the
organization. It is mainly used to store the details of Subscriber, Outlet,
Stock about easy and paper refilling
details and very easy to calculate net profit & credit. It gives more user
friendliness to the operator for manipulating the data of the customers and as
well as distributor who is verifying the reports.
Scope
of the System:
The scope of the system is mainly
maintaining the data selling and activating the SIM cards in proper manner. It
maintains the details about outlets and subscribers.
Objectives:
The objectives of the system are mainly to provide services
to the customers who are purchased SIM cards, monthly recharges in different
schemes.
Definition
and Acronyms:
SIM ID: Subscribers Information Module
Identification
Current
System:
The existing system, the operator is
facing many of problems for entering the data of the subscribers like
maintaining the subscriber’s information. It is more difficult to verifying all
the information and making reports for each and every SIM activation, difficult
to update the reports. The present system is a manual work and is should
require so much of manpower and it is time consuming process and also it is
very in consisted and not reliable.
Drawbacks
of the Current System:
·
Time Delay: Information
related to all transactions is stored in different tables. Since all the
information is stored in different tables, it takes a lot of time to prepare
different reports.
·
Redundancy: As the data passes
through different tables. It involves a lot of complication and duplication in
manual work, thus it causes redundancy.
·
Security: All the data that is
entering into the current system can be manipulated by any person.
Proposed
System:
Overview:
Proposed system is
entirely computer based. In this all the data is fed into the computer and stored
in to Database and it allows to store large amount of data about the
information and these data can be accessed for calculating the profit and
generate reports.
Functional
Requirements:
The functional requirements are the
high level functionality of the system here the function requirements of the
central system monitoring all the activities of the organization for storing
the details of the database.
·

Outlet address.
Specification: To specify the
details of the Outlets who sale the SIM Cards.
Output: To get the details of the
Outlets.
·
Calculating net profit and
credit:
Input: Enter no. of sales of SIM
cards per day, SIM cost and refilling amounts in different schemes.
Specification: To specify the total
amount to be paid by the outlet Dealer.
Output: To
get the total credit and profit amounts at different dealers with subtracting
their discounts.
·
Store the Stock details:
Input: Enter the No. of Sim cards,
Easy & Paper Refilling amounts .
Specification: To specify the
details of the Refilling amounts of easy recharge, different paper recharge
cards and No. of Sim cards.
Output: To get the details of the
Sim cards, refilling amounts.
Problem
Analysis
Every
System whenever it is to be manipulated or modified or generated is in need of
some more qualities, necessary functions, easy applications and fast
manipulations. Then only the system needs to be changed according to the
environment. For that reason only any system has to be changed. In some more
cases it is done for further upgrade of the system.
The
current system processes the information manually. So that it is taking more
time for the operations and calculations that are going in the system. So for
that reason system evaluation has occurred. Various problems in current system
are stated as below
Ø Currently the system is running
by manual operations. So for every each transaction the calculations are to be
done manually.
Ø Whenever there is a shortage in
the stock, it was noticed only when it was required. There are no previous
measures are taken for that, because it is going in manual.
Ø The credit list is maintaining
separately on a book. If a note is mistakenly entered or credit list entering
was forget by the person then the amount which has to be recovered from the
customer will be lost.
Ø Day-to-Day calculations are
performing manually.
Ø It is difficult to find how many
SIM sales; activations and refilling were done on a particular day until we
refer to that particular day sheet.
Ø Generating yearly reports for
sales and stock is difficult.
Overview:
The System Design Document
gives a brief overview of each subsystem functionality in the project.
Current
Software Architecture:
SIM distribution, maintaining
outlet details, SIM activation all are maintained manually. Profits &
losses are calculated manually. They maintained some forms to enter details of
daily transactions.
MODULES:
·
Sales Transactions Module:
This module is responsible for recording all the sales transactions with
different outlets. It deals with SIM Sales, SIM activation and SIM refilling
transactions. It restricts other users except manager to record the above data

and then activate them. He can store the information related to different
refilling cards sold to different outlets. It allows the manager to create
different operators and manager logins.
·
Subscriber & Outlets
