# Retail Management System

## Preface
A retail management system (RMS) is a platform that combines several technologies to aid in the day-to-day operation of a retail store or chain, such as managing and buying inventory, checking out customers, scheduling employee shifts, keeping track of finances, etc.

## Reason for choosing topic

~~It's 20 fucking 22, covid and god knows what else is out there and people just hate going out in general (me KEKW) so we need to make an RMS to make life ez~~

Retailing is, by no means, an easy job. A retailer's work consists of selling their products to customers, keeping track of their goods supply and restocking when needed, managing staff, dealing with ~~Karens~~ customer's complaints and the list goes on. The tasks are then further multiplied by the number of stores or departments one may ~~(or may not)~~ own, and the sheer workload can be overwhelming. In an attempt to challenge this trivial yet daunting problem of retailing, we will be developping a Retail Management System that will aid retailers in their day-to-day business.

## Features:
- Basic
    - Inventory management
        - self-explanatory
    - Staff/employees management
        - scheduler, attendence checker, ...
    - Payment system
        - handles transaction, receipts
        - ~~POS~~ (no lol, need hardware for that one), ePOS
        - accounting?
    - Sales data analysis
        - dashboard
    - E-commerce?
- Advanced
    - Customer Relation Management (abbr. CRM)
        - analyse customer's data (lifetime spending, average order value, order history) to further improve sales
        - customer service
        - *sort of similar to sales data analysis but I guess this applies to individual customer instead?
    - Warehouse management + logistics?
