Logistics Management System Project in Python

Logistics management is a supply chain management component that is used to

meet customer demands through planning, control and implementation of the
effective movement and storage of related information, goods and services from
origin to destination. Without logistic management system, logistics service
providers face many problems. Some of them are, customer services become
inefficient, transportation cost of goods may increase, new product launches may
be under risk. Hence, logistic management system software solves all this
problem and provides many features like, Warehouse management, Fleet
management, Processing orders, Inventory control. This system will be under sole
control of the Admin. Admin is the only module in this system. Admin has
authority to add or remove goods from the system, he/she can also maintain
records of the goods available and issued in the warehouse. He/she can also
update the goods details if required. This logistics management system project
can track the transportation duration of goods. This logistics management
software can also update information like, at what time has the goods arrived at
the destination.
 Modules:

The system comprises of 1 major module with their sub-modules as follows:

1. Admin:

 Manage goods: The system will be under sole control of the admin.
Admin can add or remove goods from the system and also maintains
records of the goods available and issued in the warehouse.
 Update goods: The admin can even update the goods details if
required.
 Tracking the goods: The system can track the period for which the
goods has been under transportation.
 Goods arrival - The system can update the period for which the
goods has been arrived at destination.
Project Lifecycle:

Description
The waterfall Model is a linear sequential flow. In which progress is seen as
flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of software
implementation. This means that any phase in the development process begins
only if the previous phase is complete. The waterfall approach does not define the
process to go back to the previous phase to handle changes in requirement. The
waterfall approach is the earliest approach that was used for software
development.
 Hardware Requirement:

 Processor – i3
 Hard Disk – 5 GB
 Memory – 1GB RAM

 Software Requirement:

 Windows Xp, Windows 7(ultimate, enterprise)

 MySQL
 Python
 Django
 Advantages

 The system excludes the use of paper work by managing all the
records electronically.
 Administrator doesn't have to keep a manual track of the goods
 Admin can keep updating the system by providing the new goods
arrival in warehouses and their availability.
 Thus, it saves human efforts and resources.

 Limitation
 User cannot view the goods in person.
 There is no human interaction if users have some enquiry.

 Application
 This system can be used in public transportation.
