The current system used by Transmission Specialists Incorporated is a manual system is an Excel Software that will help them monitor their tools and equipments going inside and outside from their warehouse. The management will only have to manually input the description of the tool/equipment, the name and the quantity.
Problem encountered in system used
The problems encountered in their system is that the records and the logging of tools and equipment is stored in an ordinary excel file. We also found out that they are in need of a Inventory Management System that they desire. With a clean User Interface and adding a few features they need, it would be beneficial for their part to those who don’t know how to use the Excel Software.
