Security Analysis and Implementation of Supermarket Inventory Management System

This Supermarket Inventory System creates purchase orders once the inventory level reaches a predefined level. Supermarkets and the vendor’s warehouse use this system to create receipts and invoices. The accounting department uses this system to match invoices and receipts so that the payment can be recorded accurately.

Through this project, we will be able to focus on both small and big retail stores in helping manage the Inventory of their store with security implementation. If taken in a more general form it can be used to manage inventory of even Production houses and Warehouses.

The Inventory Management System is an application designed to allow the supermarket staff to create, maintain and view the contents and value of its inventory of items in a categorized way. It also aims to analyze the position of the supermarket in the market and help it know what items to order in what quantity by producing graphs depicting the sale of different items on different basis such as monthly, yearly, brand type, etc. The main goal as of now is to implement the application by considering security loopholes.

We will analyze and implement web security in this project followed by a case study on cyber crimes in India. By security inputs, it will decrease the vulnerability of applications being hacked and attacked. It provides the surety and trust to the customers that their resources are safe and secure. Customers’ trust should be an organizational job. It also determines the use of information security at its pick level to resolve real-world problems.

Overview of the Project

The Inventory Management System is an application designed to allow the supermarket staff to create, maintain and view the contents and value of its inventory of items in a categorized way. It also aims to analyze the position of the supermarket in the market and help it know what items to order in what quantity by producing graphs depicting the sale of different items on the different basis such as monthly, yearly, brand type, etc

The supermarket Inventory System is to facilitate our customers to track their products as and when they are transported from the vendor to the warehouse and from the warehouse to the retail location to the customers. It is necessary to keep our resources safe and protected. In order to implement security in the application it would be done by implementing encryption, keeping a secure session base password, implementing two-level authentications, observing system logs and security faults, analyzing network flow using Wireshark, implementing Wireshark, preventing the application validation from unnecessary inputs, session management, session hijacking, hacking, cross-site scripting and implementing code to prevent from SQL injection and many more.

Sample Home page emphasizes the basic details about IMS organization. Authorized and registered customers would be able to login in IMS system to track and place their orders. They can look at the GST module, can contact our customer support team for any queries, review frequently asked questions FAQs, latest sales available, and many more. New customers can visit our portal to know about the IMS organization and can contact us.

Conclusion:

This Supermarket Inventory System creates purchase orders once the inventory level reaches a predefined level. Supermarkets and the vendor’s warehouse use this system to create receipts and invoices. The accounting department uses this system to match invoices and receipts so that the payment can be recorded accurately. Through this project, we are able to focus on both small and big retail stores in helping manage the Inventory of their store with security implementation.

Online Shopping Management System Java Console Application

This Project simulates the working of an online shopping portal where customers can buy products. Our Online Shopping Management System project is a purely console-based application and is implemented using the programming language JAVA.

This Java Console Application contains mainly two panels :

  1. Admin Panel – functions provided like managing products and customers
  2. Customer Panel – functions provided like buying products and making payments

A total of 8 class files have been created which are :

  • Database connection.java
  • Shop.java ( This is the main or the starting point of the project )
  • Admin.java
  • Customer.java
  • Products.java
  • Cart.java
  • Payment.java
  • Bills.java

Java Concepts used in the project are :

  • String manipulations
  • Collections framework in form of ArrayList
  • JDBC
  • Exception Handling
  • Inheritance
  • Classes and Objects
  • BufferedReader for taking entry

ROLE OF EACH MEMBER IN THE PROJECT

  • Designed class files – DatabaseConnection.java, Shop.java, Admin.java, and Customer.java and contributed to Debugging
  • Designed class file – products.java and contributed to Debugging
  • Designed class file – bills.java and contributed to Debugging
  • Designed class files – Payment.java and Cart.java and contributed to Debugging
  • Combination of class files in the end and for their joint working, Each member contributed equally.

DETAILS OF CLASS FILES

MAIN CLASS ( superclass ) = Shop.java

SUBCLASSES of Shop.java = admin.java and customer.java

Shop.java :

Main functions = registration of customer or admin, login into system Entry through buffered Reader

Array List used in login function to store id, password, and user type ( C for the customer, A for admin ) as a list

Database tables used are login info, admin info, and cast info Login info = storing used id, password, and type of user Admininfo = storing all details of admin except password Custinfo = storing all details of the customer except password setUID() function sets the admin ID to store in database setCUID() function sets the customer ID to store in the database.

Admin.java 

Functions include managing products (add,delete,view,search) by calling productsPage() function of products.java

Other functions include adding customers, removing customers, editing profiles, view registered customers.

For registering customers, since admin.java is subclass of Shop.java , registerCustomer() function of Shop is called by Shop.registerCustomer(), hence the small use of inheritance is here as the function need not be rewritten.

Customer.java :

Database table custinfo accessed for editing profile function

The main functions are viewing products, searching for products, adding and removing products from the cart, view the cart, and proceeding to the payment function.

Here first initializeProducts() function is called to store all product info in array lists, so that database need not be accessed everytime, hence Concept of collection framework is used here in form of ArrayList and through ArrayList functions .add(), .get(), .clear()

.add() = to add to ArrayList

.get(int i) = to get the element stored at index i in the ArrayList

Proceed to payment function calls payment.java class file and functions like add to cart, remove from the cart, and view cart call Cart.java. Calling is done via class objects like customerCart and p.

customerCart = object of Cart class p=object of Payment class

Customer.java is also the subclass of Shop.java where it calls the registerCustomer() function of the Shop.java through Classname.methodname like Shop.registerCustomer()

Products.java :

The main functions are added, removing, altering product info, viewing, and searching products setPid() function is used to set product id to store in the database

database table products are accessed to add, remove and alter product info

Cart.java :

This class file contains functions of the cart like add to cart, view cart, remove the product from the cart and cancel cart which is called from the customer.java class file via object.

Here add to cart function gets the product details to be added from customer.class via the constructor and adds them to the ArrayList so that the ArrayList can be used later on for displaying cart details and other functions as required.

Payment.java :

The main function of the payment class is to display bills and pay bills by calling bill.java, therefore it is an intermediate class between customer.java and bill.java and this class also stores payment details like bill and card details.

Bill.java :

Bill. class is called from the payment page through an object, this class contains details of a bill like a billing id, products purchased, and total amount. It also contains customer details whose bill it is. It stores the product details that are purchased in the ArrayList for easy access later on.

It contains functions like :

Generate bill = for calculating and storing the total amount in a variable Set bill id = for setting the bill id

Display bill = for displaying bill details

addtoDatabase = to add bill details to database table bills.

DatabaseConnection.java :

 The database connection is a class file that is used to establish a connection with the MySQL server and to create a database “Onlineshop” and five tables – login info, admin info, bills, products, and cast info. It takes the help of a flag variable to check whether the database schema exists or not and if exists, it only connects Java to MySQL.

It is imported into the class files like Shop.java and products.java where it is used to access the database and make connections.

Exceptions that are used in the project are :

  • IOException: This exception is used wherever BufferedReader has been used.
  • For handling the exceptions caused due to database like

ClassNotFoundException or SQL Exception, a try-catch block has been added.

  • For any other type of exception, sufficient try-catch blocks have been added.

Exception Handling features that are used in the project are :

Try-Catch block

Exception class functions like printStackTrace() have been used

throws keyword has been added in those methods wherever an exception is thrown and not handled by the method itself.

Snapshot of DatabaseConnection.java where Exception handling is used.

COLLECTION FRAMEWORK USED IN THE PROJECT

The concept of collections framework is used in the project through the implementation of ArrayList .

Use of ArrayList in the project :

Array List is used in the project to store the fetched results from the database for easy access later on. ArrayList is used in many class files in the project, like in customer.java , available product details are fetched from the database and stored in the ArrayList so that whenever the customer tries to access product info, it is fetched from the ArrayList and not from the database which reduces the complexity of code and saves time.

For using ArrayList Wrapper classes used are :

  • Integer for storing integers
  • Float for storing float values
  • String as a class for storing String values

DATABASE SCHEMA USED IN THE PROJECT

Here, the concept of JDBC comes into the picture and is implemented using MySQL and JAVA. The database is used in the project for storing information about admins, customers, products, bills, and login details.

Database details are as follows :

Name of the database = Onlineshop

The tables used in the project are :

  • Login Info Table
  • Admin Info Table
  • Cust Info Table
  • Products Table
  • Bills Table

How connectivity to MySQL was done :

 To connect to the MySQL server, we have used the JDBC concept and used the SQL Driver class to connect to the MySQL database. For using the SQL Driver class and other classes used for connection, java.sql.* is imported into the java class file.

Creation of the database and creation of tables were made in the DatabaseConnection.java class file and to access the database, later on, the code written was :

Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver);

Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(String URL,username,password);

SOME SNAPSHOTS OF PROJECT OUTPUT

Customer section :

Some important points regarding the project :

  • The connector jar file should be added to the “Java project” using :
    JRE System Library > Build Path > Configure build path > Libraries > Add External JARs
  • For connecting to the database used in the project, enter the root password of MySql

Order Management System for Steel Fabrication Factory Java Project

The web-based “Steel fabrication Order management system” project is an attempt to simulate the basic concepts of order management systems. The system enables the customer to do the things such as view all available products, and products by category-wise distribution. The user can place the order, the delivery agent will get the order details and it will be delivered to the customer at their residence. Users can request customized products with their own requirements and budget.

The Order Management System provides a facility that enables users to view details about products without logging in. But if the user wants to place the order, then it is required to log in first. Users can view all available products with detailed descriptions, reviews, and ratings. Users can choose a particular product. The system checks for the availability of the quantity of the product. If the product is available then the system allows the customer to select the product and place an order. To order a product the system asks the customer to enter his details such as first name, last name, city, street, landmark, state, pin, phone number, etc.

Scope 

  1. Order Management System for Steel Fabrication Factory is a web-based application that allows the admin to handle all the activities online quickly.
  2. So, the aim of the project is to provide products to customers. The customer can choose the products from the category and place the order. Users can request customized products to their own requirements and budget. Staff then can contact the user with the details provided by the user at the login time
  3. Staff will arrange the products as per the order and make them available for collection.
  4. Once the order is ready, the delivery agent will collect the products and they will be delivered to the customer at their residence

PROJECT FEATURES

Admin module

Admin is the main role in the overall system. Admin can log in into the system using credential where admin credential was already stored in the database.

After successful login into the admin dashboard, there are various operations that the admin can do mentioned below –

  1. View customer: Admin is able to view the list of customers who are already registered into the system. Customer data is stored in a database so the admin can fetch those data to view the list of customers
  2. Add remove staff: Admin can add staff by giving a particular role also admin is able to delete it from the system
  3. View feedback: Admin can view feedback which is given by customers on products after purchasing

Manager module

Like the admin, the manager can log in to the system with the credentials stored in the database. The manager carries out the most of operations on the owner’s side. The manager can perform the following functionalities mentioned below:

  • Manage products: The manager can add products into the system with all the necessary details. As the products are managed category-wise, the manager can add distinct categories first and then products under that specific category. Managers can also update products by changing the price of products or the available quantity of product
  • Manage delivery: The manager is able to see all the orders. After placing an order by the user, the manager assigns that order to the particular delivery That order is visible to that delivery agent’s dashboard with details.
  • View feedback: The manager can view feedback and ratings given by customers on products after purchasing. The manager can review and analyze the feedback
  • View order customization: The manager can review the customized orders that users have requested, and contact that specific user from the contact details given at the login time

User module

User can login into the system, or even without login users can see product lists, detailed descriptions of products, reviews, and ratings of products. Even without a login user can check all available products. But to place an order user needs to log in first to the system.

Registration and creation of user profile

The system shall require a user to register, in order to carry out the process to place an order. For registration it will ask the user for the following information first name, last name, city, street, landmark, state, pin, phone number, email, and password. The system will automatically generate the user’s profile.

Making Order

After registration user’s credential is saved in databases and using the credential user can log in to the system. For place an order user must do login first otherwise the system will not allow the user to place an order.

After login into the system successfully now the user is able to place an order. The first user needs to search for the available product or the user can search for a product by category, one more option is available the user can select a product and customize it according to their need.

If a user wants to place an order of multiple products, then the first user selects one item and moves it to the cart using the ‘add to cart button, after adding it to the cart now user can go for another product and the user can add multiple products to add.

After adding products to the cart, the cart dashboard will show all the products, product quantity, and total price. Now users can place orders by selecting a payment method.

View Order History: The system shall allow a user to view all information about his previous orders. In history, the system shows the previous product, delivery status, etc.

Delivery Agent

Account Delivery agent is another important role in this system. The main role of the delivery agent is to deliver the product to the mentioned address and update the status of delivery. The delivery agent has functionalities mentioned below:

  1. Receive order: The delivery agent received the order and does a job of delivering the product on time
  2. Track order: The tracking status of the product during delivery is updated by the delivery agent. Tracking status like ‘product arrives, ‘on the way, ‘delivered’, etc. Users get to see this status on his/her side
  3. Verify payment: The delivery agent needs to verify the payment details like whether payment is already done or needs to be collected at the time of delivery
  4. Update order status: After delivering the order successfully, the delivery agent needs to update the status as ‘delivered’.

Software Required for Development

All the details entered while creating an account will be stored in this table. This table will consist of the attributes as User id, user last name, user first name, user type (it can be student or instructor), and password. The primary key of this table will be the user id. Once the user has created an account, they will be able to know about the courses.

COURSE Entity – The course table will store all the details related to the courses which are offered. This table will have the following attributes Course id, Course name, course department, course description, course start date, and course end date. Course id will be the primary key for this table. Based on the above attributes, students can decide which course they are interested in. The instructors will also be able to know about the courses which are already taught by some other instructors and the courses available for them to teach.

STUDENTXREF Entity- This table will act as a reference table between the COURSE and USER DETAILS tables. The attributes of this table are student id, course id, and user id. The primary key of this table will be the student id.

INSTRUCTORXREF entity – This table is also a reference table between COURSE and USER DETAILS tables. If the user type is instructor then the details for that user id will be stored in this table. The attributes of this table are instructor id, user id, and course id. Instructor id will be the primary key for this table. Here the course id will be unique as 1 course cannot be taught by multiple instructors.

About Us Page:

This page describes the goal of developing this project. This will make clear to the users what the purpose of developing this website is and how they can use it. Contact information is also provided for the users so that if they have any doubts, they can send an email with the query. 

1.6.4 Search course Page:

When a user is interested in learning any course, before creating an account he can check whether the course in which he is interested is provided by the management system or not. This search option will help them to know about the courses and then they can decide whether to enroll in those courses or not. While using the search option, users are not required to create an account.

The back end part will come into the picture when the user has created an account. Users can be students or instructors. While creating an account, the user will be asked to select the User type from the drop-down option. The pages at the backend side are described below:

Student Page:

This page (student.php) will be displayed to the user whose user type is Student. It will display the courses which are available for a particular student to enroll. He can select multiple courses for enrolling. Checkboxes are provided in front of all courses and then finally enroll button is provided.

Once the student selects any course and clicks on Enroll button, he will be shown a thank you message for enrolling in those courses. Student.php will call enroll.php when an enroll button is clicked by the student. The back button is provided on enroll.php which will re-direct the student to student.php. The student will also be displayed the courses in which he has already enrolled on student.php. 

Instructor Page:

When a user selects the user type as an instructor, he will be directed to instructor.php page. On this page, he will be displayed with the courses which he is already teaching. The instructor will be able to teach courses that are not being taught by any other instructor. A checkbox option will be provided to the instructor to select courses and then he can click on each button. This button will direct the instructor to teach.php page where he will be displayed a thank you message.

Admin Page:

Admin page is designed for the administrator to add and delete courses in the system. In order to login as an admin the user needs to select the admin-Add/Delete courses link from the Login/Register page. Two options appears in the admin page 1.Add a course and 2.Remove a course. Add a course lets the admin add new courses in the system.

The details the admin needs to provide in order to add a course are course name, course department, course description, course start date, and course end date. The admin can simply press the Add Class button. A success message appears on the page after the submission of the details. In order to remove a class the admin can make a selection from the drop-down menu and press the Delete Class button. The success message appears afterward.

Functions provided by the website are:

  1. The following are the functions provided by the online learning management system:
  2. Browse the homepage, and about us page.
  3. Search courses without creating an account.
  4. Interested users can create an account.
  5. Students can enroll in courses.
  6. The instructor can teach courses that are not being taught by any other instructor.
  7. Admin can add/delete courses.

Usability considerations:

The online management learning system website has logical navigation. Users can easily navigate around the webpage. The home page gives the users information about the whole system. All the contents are written in simple language. It has a user-friendly interface and functions well with no broken links. All the links and sub-links are clearly represented. The procedures to log in to the account, register for courses, and add or remove the courses from the system are very clear.

The system lets the users know if their attempts of adding courses or removing courses were successful. When the users put wrong credentials while logging in, it lets users know their attempt has failed because of the wrong username or password. So, that user can put the correct information and log in to the account. The website has all the required functions based on user types. That makes the website informative and user-centered. 

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:

  1. Based on the entries in the database, graphs can be created to provide information about the number of students in each course.
  2. A class entity can be added to provide more information about courses like classrooms, class timings, etc.
  3. Change the template to make it more attractive and user-friendly.
  4. Passwords can be stored in an encrypted way to avoid giving away personal information.
