Bookstore management system

Abstract
Bookstore management system report in python.Today it is becoming very
difficult to maintain records manually. Software system easily does the job of
maintaining daily records as well as the transaction according to the user
requirements. Only basic knowledge of computers is required for operations.
The software system consists of all information of books and sold to the
customer. The proposed system provides lots of facility to the user to store
information of the books and it provide information in quick time in a systematic
manner. The processing time on the data is very fast.

It provides required data quickly to the user and also in specified manner to the
user. There is lot of duplicate woks, and chance of mistake when the records
are changed they need to update each and every excel file. There is no option
to find and print previous saved records there is no security, anybody can
access any report and sensitive data. This bookshop management system is
used to overcome entire problem which they are facing currently, and making
complete automization of manual system to computerised system.

Introduction
It is an online web application where the customer can purchase book online.
This software is developed to maintain records of sales, purchase and staff
records. The online book shop website provides customer with online shopping
through a web browser. The purpose of this software is to manage the books in
the bookshop. It includes the order processing, stock management and we
developed this software to maintain records of sales, purchase and staff
records. Here, We are try to developed this system which is provide the
automation on the any type of the bookshop. In this system all records are
saved in the database for report generation. In present system during issuing
order of more stock, the product register is required to check to availability of
stock in hand, and it takes time to check records. In each process whether it is
product management, maintaining customer records, payment management,
report generation, user has to pay attention to a greater extent while
performing the tasks.

Book shop management system should help the customers query whether a
book in a stock the user can query the availability of a book either by using the
book title or by using the name of author. Bookshop management software for
monitoring and controlling the transactions in a bookshop. Our software is easy
to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a familier and well
thought-out, an attractive user interface, combined with strong searching
insertion and reporting capabilities. The report generation facility of bookshop
system helps to get a good idea of which are the books borrowed by the
members, makes users possible to generate reports hard copy. In our project
we will be able to classify users as staff or student classifying users allows the
book issue controls, fine rate based on the classification. For example- for
student we will be able to issue 2 books at the fine rate of Rs. 2 as late fee and
3 books at the fine rate of Rs. 1 for staffs. What more, we can changed this
setting based on our needs but we have to set this values just one and not
every time the program starts. We have used our setting class to implement
this.

Overview
The modern world is surrounded by the technology and internet is the biggest
invention of the world which is a worldwide system of computer networks. In
the network users at any computer can communicate with the other if they have
permission to get information from any other computer. Today hundreds of
millions of people worldwide are using internet and most widely used part of the
internet is the World Wide Web (www). It is basically a system of internet
servers that support specially formatted documents which is formatted in a
markup language called Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) that supports
links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files. Web page
is a document commonly written in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) that is
accessible through the internet or other network using an internet browser by
entering a URL address and many contain text, graphics and hyperlinks to other
web pages and files.

A website contains thousands of different pages including the web pages. The
people can access the website in any places using the internet. So that the
businessman and consumers are selling, showing, marketing their products
making the attractive website and deliver the products as early as possible. Any
type of business or commercial transactions that involves the transfer of
information across the internet is called Electronic Commerce or ecommerce. It
allows consumers to electrically exchange goods and services with no barriers of
time or distance. Shopping cart software is an operating system used to allow
consumers to purchase goods and or services, track customers, and tie together
all aspects of ecommerce into one cohesive whole. A user can entered an online
store, see the product that fulfill their demand and select it in the cart for the
next step. To complete the order they need to checkout and complete the
transaction by providing payment information.Online Electronic Book Shop is an
ecommerce site where the user can see the books, select the books in the cart
and place the order to collect them easily at home.

Purpose and Motivation

Existing system
In existing system, all the transaction of books are done manually, so it takes
more time for a transaction like borrowing a book or searching for a member of
books. Some of the problems being faced in manual system are as follows:

1. Fast report generation is difficult.

2. Tracing a book is tedious.
3. Information about issue of the books are not properly maintained.
4. No central database can be created as information is not present in
database.

The success of the system depends largely on how clearly the problem is
defined, thoroughly investigated and properly carried out through the choice of
solution. During analysis data is collected on various files. Decision points and
transaction are handled by the current system. A good analysis model should
provide not only the mechanisms of problem understanding but also the frame
work of the solution.

Proposed system
It is an automated Bookshop Management System. Through our software user
can add members, add books, search members, search books, update
information, edit information, borrow book in quick time. Our proposed system
has the following advantages.

1. It provides “better and efficient” services to members.

2. Reduce the workload of employee.
3. Faster retrieval of information about the desired book.
4. Provide facility for proper monitoring reduce paper work and provide
data security.
5. All details will be available on a click.
6. It has more storage capacity and search facility and fast access to
database. All the manual difficulties in managing the Bookshop have
been rectified by implementing computerization.
 Proposed work
In Bookshop management system, we create a website for online Book
shopping & selling. User can easily buy the books without any complexity.
Online book shopping refers to selling or buying Books through internet.
