It is the point at which a customer makes a payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or services. At the point of sale the retailer would calculate the amount owed by the customer and provide options for the customer to make payment. The merchant will also normally issue a receipt for the transaction. Welfare and Recreation Department commissioned a study to determine the need for a computerized information system for the different Department Store of Bongao, if the need is Warranted, Department requested a- study to determine which particular system to procure along with assistance with installation and trainings.

Statement of the Problem

The most common solution to this type of problem is to have the Automated or Computerized Point of Sale System. Currently, a physical inventory is manually performed every quarter by Pro Shop personnel. The process is time consuming and labor intensive, orders are placed for depleted stock with purchase. Due to limited storage space, shop managers have no way of optimizing their space with items that move quickly and customers are forced to do without the Pro Shop's services during the two day inventory. In addition to not managing inventory correctly, the shop has a significant cash handling problem.

This is partly due to the physical layout of the current cash register with four mechanical cash drawers located below the counter-top and the fact that as many as three clerks at one time may have access to the cash register. The cash register is capable of handling four separate clerks and the four cash drawers, but in the hustle to serve the customers, money is mistakenly taken from and placed into the wrong drawer. This makes it impossible to balance the cash receipts with the register totals, and could invite fraud.

Specifically, this study attempts to the following questions: 1. Does the need exist for a computerized information system? 2. What wi1l be the benefits of such a system is installed? 3. If needed, which system should be procured? Subsidiary research questions that will be investigated
