| Abstract: | Large chain departmental stores are experiencing problems in the procurement and marketing of goods. The current process is paper based which has drawbacks like time wastage during delivery of goods and services, encouraging corruption and incurring high costs on advertising. There was need to review the current procurement process and come up with an online framework that will help overcome the above problems and increase turnover. Investigations were carried out by conducting interviews, administering questionnaires and document review to obtain an in depth understanding of the process and get the system requirements. Using these requirements, system design was carried out to convert the specifications into an executable system. Implementation was carried out using XHTML, JavaScript, PHP and Mysql using a client-sever architecture with the database running on a server and user interfaces running on personal computers. Online transactions are currently nonexistent, one of the reasons being a poorly designed system that gave wrong outputs. The chief buyer has the decisive vote to choose which suppliers to deal with which may lead to corruption. This led to the development of a framework for logistics procurement and electronic marketing. This framework can be used by different interest groups in the fields of procurement and marketing to change from a manual process to an automated system of operation. |
