As with its nature of this introduction, the company has a need to reevaluate its business process. With many competitors offering the same service, there is a strong need for Gelateria Venezia to offer an online cake-ordering site to allow customers to choose and customize their cake for different occasions.
The application that we are developing is also developed for the management to track the orders of the cake and help take over the manual process, which the company is having at the moment.
The developed site will help with the business process but providing an online platform along with the current manual process it will also include a registration platform, this site will also enable to build up a customer base and help keep track of it and getting customer interactivity for suggesting new ideas for the company. This will lead to an increase of interest in the company and will serve as a marketing tool and building a customer relationship.
Objectives
Online Ordering System would help Gelateria Venezia to:
- Replace current manual business process with an automated system
- Customize orders routing management
