Courier Management System

Motivation Statement:

The Professional Couriers is one of the famous domestic and international courier and cargo operators in the Sultanate of Oman. They are one of the pioneers in courier service with capabilities of handling thousands of articles, documents including both domestic and international everyday for every location for both inbound and outbound. They have different operations across the country by offering various services for the customers.

All the customers can avail the services, once they finish a one-time registration with a valid ID card number. Every customer will be provided with a unique shipment number after each booking. The system is being used for day to day activities such as booking a courier, out return, non delivery, maintain destination details and company details, process data of firms and many other things.

Now they are planning to upgrade the system to help them manage their business more efficiently. For this reason, they want to offer competitive fares so that regular customers and bulk business firms will get more benefits in terms of rate and the courier company itself will get more business.

In the main form, the user can register as a guest or a regular customer. The guest has the right to view only the enquiry part. The regular customer should provide complete details such as name, phone number, email, address, faculty or department etc. The system should also provide &search facility either by using customer ID or shipment number.
