receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts,
business goods and the like. People dependvastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving anddelivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and thereis no way to let th e custo me r kno w wh at h app en ed in transit, on ce h e bo oked so me articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargoactivities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled byC o u r i e r m a n a g e m e n t s y s t e m s o f t w a r e w h i c h i s o n l i n e s o f t w a r e f o r t h e c a r g o management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time Courier management system is a software for th e c a r g o o f f i c e s w h e r e t h e customer can approach the office and book an article or good. The manager/clerk can usethis software to enter the details of the customer and goods along with the source and destination points. The details of loading the goods into the physical transport system arealso recorded by the system. The system has %&I for the users to manage not only dailytransactions but also to keep the historical data in the database for future reference.The other user of the s ys tem is admi nis trator who can manage the vehicl es information as well as employees' information. (e can also create new branch based on based on branch re"uests and can decide the route for the c argo to take on a particularday s o that deliv ery happens at the c us tomer's neares t point. )ls o it provi des the m anagement reports like monthly goods bookings, loadings, deliveries, demurrages andreceivers particulars. 1.1 Objective This pro*ect deals with the +Courier management'. The system is used for dailyactivities such as booking, loading, delivery, status check, and managing branches. It isvery difficult to do this process manually. (ence it is recommended to computerize the process by developing the relative software as the world is turning into information andtechnology computerization becomes necessity in all walks of life. 1.2 Existing System The e is ti ng s ys tem is a manual one i n whi ch users are mai ntai ni ng l edgers, books etc to store the information like goods booking details, loading particulars,deliveries particulars, details of receivers of items at all branches, and customer details aswell as employee details. It is very difficult to maintain historical data. )lso regularinvestments need to purchase stationarevery year.
