Development of parcel management and notification system (PMNS) for hostel using WDLC / Muhammad Hafizudin Yasin

Parcel Management and Notification System (PMNS) is developed to the management staff of Kolej Delima at Universuti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). Currently, Kolej Delima is using manual process to manage the student’s parcels. The current process is time and energy consuming for staff to register and sent the memo to parcel owner for parcel collection. In addition, it incurs cost to the management in order to provide memo and parcel registration logbook. Besides that, more space are needed to keep the accumulation of logbooks. The possibility of lost memo can happen when the staff slipped the memo under parcel owner room. The objectives of this project are to identify requirements, to design, to develop and evaluate for Parcel Management and Notification System (PMNS). The significance of this project can reduce cost and space to store the parcel information and also can get quick notification through SMS to inform them about the parcel already arrived at the office. This system also helps the management to generate report. This project methodology Web Development Life cycle (WDLC) methodology was need to develop PMNS, which consists of seven phases that includes planning, system requirement, system design, implementation, testing, acceptance and deployment and maintenance.

All problems were solved using Parcel Management and Notification System (PMNS) that automatically sent notification for student when the parcel already register. For future work, use bar code scanner to register the parcel and also provide the Email notification for reminder message to make sure the process can be move faster and secure.
