The research developed a comprehensive Point-of-Sale (POS) system for the
Technological University of the Philippines Manila Multi-Purpose Cooperative
(TUPMMPC) to simplify payment management, sales tracking, and inventory control. The
specific objectives include designing a network base POS system incorporating features
such as billing transactions, payment processing, inventory management, and detailed sales
reporting. The system was built using PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, MySQL, Virtual
Studio Code, CodeIgniter, and XAMPP. The study focused on the creation and deployment
of a POS system specifically for TUPMMPC, facilitating efficient transaction processing
and inventory management. It includes functionalities for managing user accounts,
generating receipts, and producing sales reports with analytic dashboards. The system was
designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of sales transactions and inventory
monitoring, ensuring improved operational effectiveness for TUPMMPC. The
development process will involve a lot of testing and improvement to ensure functional
sustainability. The system's acceptability was assessed based on the ISO 25010 standard
for software quality, which includes criteria such as functionality, performance efficiency,
compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. The study's
scope is limited to TUPMMPC's operational requirements, leveraging the available
resources and expertise of the research team. Based on the evaluation made by the faculty
members and IT specialists, the study findings indicate that the developed POS system
introduces new features such as barcode scanner, automated barcode generator, and
automatic inventory management, which significantly improve transaction efficiency. The
system supports multiple user roles (cashier, admin, manager, and supervisor), each with
specific responsibilities. Evaluations by TUPMMPC faculty and IT professionals rated the
system as "Highly Acceptable" in terms of accuracy, usability, security, and reliability.
Despite some areas for improvement, the system was deemed usable, dependable, and
efficient.
