The proposed solution should have the provision to enter customer details like name, age sex, postal details, communication address etc. The system should be flexible enough so that additional details can be entered. If a particular model is not readily available, the customer can book by paying 20% of the price as booking amount. The same rule is applicable for add onâ??s too. The balance payment is made at the time of actual delivery. The company provides free warranty for one year from date of purchase. The customer can purchase additional warranty for 3 years by paying an additional charge of 5000 rs. Local taxes are extra. There is a tax of 6.62 % on all hardware components. All software is taxed at 4%. Service tax of 2.12 % is collected on warranty support. If the customer wants to purchase through the call center, the customer care executive takes the customer details. Since the call center is attached to the warehouse, all products will be available. But all call center customers will have to pay an additional 2000 rs as packing charge and additional 4000 rs as courier/delivery charges. The payment is made using credit card â??card authentication/operation is not in scope of this application. Orders made at the call center can be canceled with 24 hours of placing the order. A cancellation charge of 20% is levied for such orders. The system should be able to generate reports on : 1) Week wise /Month wise/Yearly Customer additions 2) Sales made through call center wise/showroom wise 3) Revenue generated model wise/add on wise 4) Cancellations at the call center Monthly/yearly 5) Tax collected monthly The above list is indicative; any additional reporting feature incorporated by the team will be always welcomed by the client.
