[PROJECT REPORT ON VENDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM] September 22, 2009
Preface
The Idea behind this project is to automate the process of sales & marketing in order to
standardize the entire process from information gathering to receiving order &
payment from customer. This system will allow user to maintain the entire information
about the customers in a database and also the information about order placed &
payment received from them. One can also generate reports for managerial use. During
this project we have undergone the entire manual process which was used for making
customers & taking orders .For which we surfed the net & searched for various
companies, contacted with them & find out various contact details. It was very difficult
to keep the track of record manually and update the record in case of any change
.Besides; it was also very difficult to track the no of follow-ups that have been made
for a particular company. At the end we are successful in developing a system that
overcomes all these problems .Its simple & user friendly interface provides ease of
work to the user. The success of this project is shared by many people. So we would
like to thank our project guide & Global graphics for their guidance & support.
Besides, an honorable mention goes to our families and friends for their
understandings and supports on us in completing this project

would like to thank him for showing us some example that related to the topic of our
project. Besides, we would like to thank the authority of Global Graphics Software
for providing us with a good environment and facilities to complete this project & also
gave us an opportunity to work in the practical environment. Finally, an honorable
mention goes to our families and friends for their understandings and supports on us in
completing this project. Without helps of the particular that mentioned above, we
would face many difficulties while doing this project.

Introduction
Objective:
To understand and propose a standard solution for marketing and selling products by automating
the processes involved such that it is easy for anyone to operate and maximum customers can be
reached by spreading the roots of company worldwide. To fulfill the objective we are proposing a
system known as vendor management system. A VMS (Vendor Management System) is an
automated system for the requisition, evaluation, engagement, management, and payment of
contingent workers. It is important to communicate with your suppliers and vendors as it is to
communicate with your customers. Establishing the proper communication channels and
information flows between you and your suppliers can lead to increased efficiencies, reduced costs
and better customer service.

Scope
Vendor management system will help in standardizing the entire sales & marketing
process as it will help in ensuring timely completion of work & also maintain the
record of follow-ups that have been done for a particular stage. Another major
problem of report generation will also be resolved after the implementation of this
project .Information about each & every company & reseller will be stored in the
Database that can be used in future .Each company’s maturity value can also be
calculated for further transactions. In a single go one can have the entire
information about any company or reseller.VMS will provide a GUI environment so that
one can easily enter the information with the help of forms into the database. By
clicking just one button on the form one can generate reports for any pre customer,
customer or reseller. The project will address the requirements of keeping the
records of all companies as well as resellers and generating the reports on the basis
of user requirement.
Types of reports:-
• Information About a single company.
• List of total Companies stored in the database.
• Maturity value of each company in terms of percentage.
• Customer order.
• Balance due.
• No. of license sold.
With these reports organization can make their strategy for future as they can
determine with the maturity value the level of interest of each company in our
product. The scope of this project is limited for only standalone systems. In
future the system can be enhanced to be used in a network .
8 Preface |
Technology Used:-
This project will be using following technologies:-
Front end:-
From our point of view VB.Net will be best for this Project (Vendor Management
System) as a Front end. Because our project is customized project and can be
develop easily with VB.Net. Form can be created in VB.Net simply by drag and
drop method. Using SAP or any other language can be very difficult and can be
very costly for this project. VB.NET's features are so significant that they
change the nature of VB. The syntax and basic language changes assure that
you'll have to rewrite all your existing VB applications to VB.NET.
Back end:-
We can use SQL Server 2000 as Database. Because applying query in SQL is very
simple and efficient other than any other Database.

Feasibility Study
Working of Existing manual System:-

Existing Process comprises of three basic steps. These are
• Surfing the Internet
• Getting the detail of the company
• Contacting the companies
Surfing the Internet:

The first step starts with Search for the companies
(BPO/DESIGNING/ITe/IT software).So that we have the names of all the
companies which we want to target. Choose a website whose data is authentic
for example NASSCOM.
Getting the detail of the company:

Completion of first step will provide us the names of the companies. This step
involves collecting the following information from their website:
• Name of company.
• Work Area.
• Contact no. of company.
This step must be performed with utmost care as if the contact number of
company is not correct we can’t contact the companies and proceed further.
13 Preface |
Contacting the companies:

Once we have the contact details our third and final step starts which is making
a call in the company and ask for the following information:
• Name of the CTO/CEO of company.
• Email ID of CTO/CEO.
After getting the above details send an introductory mail on their Email address
which contains the information of Global Graphics Software and the product
gDoc. Now check the status of Mail (Bounsed/Received).If bounsed, then Make
a call again in the company and confirm the Email address and resend the
introductory mail on confirm Email ID. After that Send Evaluation Version of
gDoc. Make call in the company and confirm. If they have got the evaluation.
Version of gDoc and used it, then Send a Feedback form. If not checked the
Evaluation version then, give them a reminder.
14 Preface |
Drawbacks of existing system:-
Since there are no standard processes so we face following difficulties such as
Not standard Processes.
Unable to generate reports.
Record keeping cumbersome.

Project organizational activity Structure:
The way a project team is structured can play a major role in how it
functions. Careful consideration of team composition and reporting
relationships can make a big difference to the results.
Styles of team:-
There are two main structural dimensions to the project team:
• What type of resource?

• What are they delivering?
19 Preface |

The Project Director has full accountability and responsibility
for the project's success, and has the power to make all
decisions, subject to oversight by the executive bodies.
Project Manager The person with day-to-day responsibility for the conduct and
success of the project. The Project Manager would normally
have control over all project resources.
Team Leader Typically the project will be divided into various sub-teams -
each with its own Team Leader. Team Leaders would be
responsible for the management and coaching of that sub-team.
They may also have responsibility for managing and tracking
the detailed sub-plan for their team.
Developer / A specialist in the creation of solution components. Again,
Programmer there will be different types of developer depending upon what
is being developed.
Documenter / A specialists in the creation of accurate usable documentation -
Technical both for the day-to-day use of the solution and as design
Writer documentation for future reference
End User End users form valuable resources in the team - they can be
used for many purposes related to the design, construction and
delivery of the business solution.

Conclusion
After we have completed the project we are sure the problems in the existing system
would overcome. The “VENDOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” process made computerized to
reduce human errors and to increase the efficiency. The main focus of this project is
to increase the efficiency of sales & marketing process. The maintenance of the
records is made efficient, as all the records are stored in the SQL SERVER database,
through which data can be retrieved easily. Browse button is provided on forms to view
all the customers. User has to just click on report button to generate report of any
customer. The editing is also made simpler. The user has to just type in the required
field and press the update button to update the desired field. All the customers are
given particular unique id no. So that they can be accessed correctly and without
errors. The problems, which existed in the earlier system, have been removed to a large
extent. And it is expected that this project will go a long way in satisfying users
requirements. The computerization of the manual system will not only improves the
efficiency but will also reduce human stress thereby indirectly improving human
resources.
