In the introduction phase the developer introduced the organization and gave the aim and objectives of the research study. Feasibility studies were conducted to evaluate the technical, economic, social and operational feasibility of the system. The developer used interviews, questionnaires, observations and focus group discussions to gather information on the current system in the analysis phase. During the design stage, different design tools like UML diagrams were used to come up with the database structure of the system and interfaces were designed. Finally implementation was done in the final stage and the pseudo code was converted to source code using PHP and MySQL database.
