Business problem analysis

There are various problem related to the online transaction. The major problem that can be is the

security problem. As we all know that online transaction is not so popular in Nepal so Nepal lack strict

laws, rules and regulation related to online system i.e cyber law itself. the customer always demand for

the strong and desirable security so if there is secure way of online transaction customer demand will be

more. On contrary if online payment lacks security than customer may feel insecure will may cause harm

to the business. Similarly every people are not educated so most of the people still do not know about

the online payment and online transaction. There are people who don’t know about the debit cards and

credit card system itself. Hence, this concept is still unknown to many people so they may feel

discomfort on using such mean payment. Along with that, there is lack of proper system and rules that

binds the banks while doing the transaction so people feel doubtful about the online payment mode.

Also, the information that is sent via internet isn’t considered secure by many due to the hacking

problem that surfaces every now and then. Also, there is the problem of continuous load shedding.

Solution to the problem of online store

The things that can be done to solve the problem of online store are as follows.

Consumer awareness (making consumer aware about the online transaction and online

payment)

Easy process should be implemented while doing the transaction.

Proper support from the government sector as online transaction is not an easy task

Implementation of cyber law and proper online security.

Vision: To be number one online product selling site

2.3. Business Model

Business Model is set of planned activities designed to result in a profit in a marketplace. This business

model is at the center of business plan. A business plan is a document that describes a firm’s business

model. An e-commerce business model aims to use and leverage the unique qualities of the internet and

the World Wide Web. The eight key elements of the business model are value proposition, revenue

model, market opportunity, competitive environment, competitive advantage, market strategy,

organization development and management team. Online businesses can be commonly categorized as

business to consumer (b2c), consumer to consumer (b2b), and business to business (b2b) business

models.

Nepalibazar.com follows C2C model. C2C ecommerce is an internet facilitated form of commerce that

brings in an online marketplace where they can buy and sell goods of each other. C2C would be a site

like eBay where consumers are selling to consumers. When you buy an item from another individual

(not a business) that is a C2C transaction.

2.4. Online Opportunities

Online business is very popular in the present context and it has covered the wider market. In the

context of Nepal online market was not so much but as the passage of time it is increasing its market.

People these days prefer new and new means of technology along with the easy access and potential

benefit. The use of computer and means of new technologies has increased the opportunity of selling

No business can afford to ignore this opportunity. But businesses also cannot ignore the potential

pitfalls. Before entering the fiercely competitive e-commerce arena, business must carefully assess and

address the accompanying risks.

CHAPTER 3: BUSINESS PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION

3.1. Problem Statement

The sell and purchase of second hand product is common in our context but the entire task is

traditionally operated. So, most of the time to reach the right person at the right time for purchase or

sell of second hand product is difficult. Moreover, the traditional business system is tedious and

inefficient. However, there are some emerging online business available offering the services for selling

and purchasing of second hand products. So the major reason to bring our project into action is because

there is insufficient market for online sale of second hand products for those who actually prefer to

purchase and sell the product and take the benefit out of it.

3.2. Marketing Mix

Product

The product we offer is basically the second hand product. But its not only restricted to that we also

offer the new products. The products that we offer are of different categories like from clothing to

gadgets, from automobiles to real estate.

As an e-business builder, we are limited to visual and verbal techniques for presenting our product. We

can only show a drawing (static or animated) and describe the features and benefits of our product. And

this is done professionally.

Price

The price of the product that we offer are quoted by the seller who wants to place their product in our

website however, a service charge will be charged by NepaliBazaar.com based on the transaction that

has been occurred. The minimum service charge starts from 5% of the transaction amount.

Place

This has to do with location and making products available. On the internet, our store is as distant from

customers computer screen. And they are greatly influenced by what they see. Therefore, the e-

business builder should have a website that is convincing and professional so that shoppers will have the

confidence to place orders.

8

Promotion

There are many promotional tools we can use. They include various types of advertising, press releases,

publicity, buying leads, traffic exchanges, SEO techniques, article marketing and blogging. We should be

guided by our skills set and budget in choosing and selecting the tools to deploy.

3.3. SWOT Analysis for nepalibazar.com

Strengths

The diversity of product categories within the marketplace that is providing product choice to its

customers.

Customer focused and user friendly websites that introduces a new interface between buyer

and seller relationships.

Weaknesses

Nepalibazar.com recognizes that there is a potential for counterfeit products to be listed which

can result in legal issues for nepalibazar.com and potential negative perceptions from

consumers due to the nature of the model in which the seller who lists the product is

responsible for the item.

Due to the nature of the on-line buy/sell relationship within nepalibazar.com the ability to

increase activity within the marketplace is limited and there is a reliance on those involved in

the transaction to drive the sales unlike traditional retail models in which control can be flexed

from the retailer.

Opportunities

Growth through the financial sector can be developed with various medium of electronic

payment system such as PayPal, etc.

Current practice for the nepalibazar.com places focus on the domestic market however there is

the potential for wider business to business transactions which with potential large contracts

could see a larger participation return for the business.

Threats

Low consumer confidence in on-line systems can lead to a decrease in participation also linked

to the increasing media coverage of identity fraud and transactional fraud online.

9

Lack of proper implementation of cyber laws ensuring privacy and security for the transactions

incurred.

3.4. Competitors in the Market

Despite of growth in technology and access over internet over past few years, the e-commerce is not

widely practiced in context of Nepal due to various disadvantages and lack of infrastructure available for

its operation. Further, the previously operated C2C websites like kinbech.com had to shut down in

absence of proper infrastructure as well as due to the limited scope for the market expansion. Thus, the

current competitor for nepalibazar.com is only hamrobazar.com.

3.5. Possible Solution

Development of the e-commerce websites

Implementation of online payment system.

10

CHAPTER 4: SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

4.1. System Development Methodology

A system development methodology in software engineering is a framework that is used to structure,

plan, and control the process of developing an information system. A systems development

methodology executes the systems development stage of the system life cycle. The Systems

Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the

stages involved in an information system development project from an initial feasibility study through

maintenance of the completed application. In software engineering the SDLC concept includes many

kinds of software development methodologies. These methodologies form the framework for planning

and controlling the creation of an information system in the software development process. Various

software development methodologies are available such as waterfall model, RAD model, spiral model,

incremental model and prototyping approaches. We designed Nepalibazar.com using the “Waterfall

Model” of system development.

Developing an ecommerce portal using CMS (Content Management System) was easy as compared to

coding all the codes ourselves, hence we used the simple waterfall model to develop our system.

Waterfall Model

The waterfall model is a sequential software development process, in which progress is seen as flowing

steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design,

Construction, Testing and Maintenance.

11

4.1.1. Requirement Analysis

Despite of growth in technology and access over internet over past few years, the e-commerce is not

widely practiced in context of Nepal due to various disadvantages and lack of infrastructure available for

its operation. Even though there is no payment gateway support by Nepali banks, C2C websites with

payment at delivery will obviously be in demand, hence to capture those niche who are in search of C2C

website we have planned to develop a website nepalibazar.com.

4.1.2. Design

Since we are using OSCommerce an opensource, we had not much choice on design except to use its

default design. Since OSCommerce is meant purely for an online ecommerce purpose, there are not

much themes as we can find on other CMS like Drupal and Joomla. And since there was no any node or

CSS to customize, we used the default theme of OSCommerce. OSCommerce also prepares an maintains

all its database itself so we did not have to design the database too.

4.1.3. Coding

Nepalibazar.com is build using OSCommerce, a CMS, hence we had not much to do on coding. 12

Implementing Maintenance

4.1.4. Testing

Various testing strategies and techniques were used to test the proper functioning of the system. The

overall aim to testing was to find errors yet undiscovered so that the software at the user’s site would

function properly without causing any disturbances.

Testing Techniques

- White Box Testing

Individual programs were tested with test data to ensure the correctness of the programs .To ensure the

correctness of each field of the form, data was entered to check whether the program was properly

functioning.

- Black Box Testing

For the validity of the functional requirements of the system, black box testing was conducted. Black-

box testing was attempted to incorrect or missing functions, interface errors, behavior or performance

errors, and initialization and termination errors.

Testing Strategies

- Unit Testing

Initially, tests focus on each component individually, ensuring that it functions properly as a unit. The

unit test is white-box oriented, and the step can be conducted in parallel for multiple components. As

coding was completed for small components of the programs testing was conducted using test data to

ensure the proper working of the component .

For example, after the add, update and delete work was completed in the website, to check the data

validity and the proper working of the form. Likewise, test data was entered and validated for each form

completed.

- Integration Testing

After the testing of individual units, the units were integrated and tested as a part of integration testing.

The whole system was scrutinized for proper symbols of the user’s module and individual screens. Black

Box testing techniques are used during integration testing.

- Validation Testing

It was conducted to provide final assurance that software meets all functional, behavioral, and

performance requirements. Black-box testing techniques were used exclusively during validation.

13

Validation testing was completed after it is ensured that the software meets the requirements dictated

earlier.

- Beta Testing

This testing was conducted by the users after the ecommerce portal was successfully configured. They

tested the portal by entering valid data to ensure proper functionality of the portal. In this testing

method, the environment is not controlled by the developer. They reported us with all the problems

they encountered during the testing phase. Modifications were made to the portal to solve the

problems occurred.

- System Testing

The software and other system elements such as hardware, people and information were incorporated

with each other and a series of system integration and validation tests were conducted. The primary

purpose was to verify that system elements have been properly integrated and perform allocated

functions Security mechanisms built into the system i.e. user login, user privileges and authentication of

the users were tested to verify the proper functioning of system security mechanisms. Performance

testing was done to test the run-time performance of software within the context of an integrated

system.

4.1.5. Implementing

After the website is tested, the final stage is to implement the system. Nepalibazar.com is hosted by YIPL

(Young Innovations Pvt. Ltd) with 10gb web space.

4.1.6. Maintenance

Maintenance is ongoing process throughout the life. Maintenance is required to correct the flaws and

prevent any flaws on the system.

4.2. SQA Plan

Purpose: To specify how the software quality assurance plans will be handled in the software

development life-cycle of the project. The following tasks will be conducted during the development

phases in order to ensure quality assurance:

14

Requirements Review: The team will review the specification continuously to ensure that software

requirement specification clearly states the functionality of software and unambiguously declares the

requirements that must be satisfied.

Design: The team will conduct reviews and conduct analysis of the construction of the software.

Strengths and weaknesses of various design techniques will be discussed and scrutinized.

Implementation: Informal code reviews will be conducted by the team on a regular basis to ensure

consistency with the design and the detection of any error.

Testing: Team will conduct tests as presented in the Software Test Plan to ensure the requirement

satisfaction and reliability of the software.

CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSION

The growth of the internet, the globalization of trade, and the rise of information economies has

increased the role of information system (IS) in business and management. With the increasing

importance of information systems, most of the organizations are moving towards acquiring and

developing information system. The system that we have developed is to overcome the traditional way

of doing business through implementation of e-commerce websites for C2C business transactions.

The main target of our website is the customers who are willing to purchase and sell second-hand

product. However, we also do offer new products. Before the development of the website, people were

having problem in reaching the right person at the right time. However, our websites have helped our

customers to overcome the disadvantages of traditional way of doing business providing with efficiency

and effectiveness. After the development of the website, now the customer can get the information

with a single click. Through our website customer can add their choices in the shopping cart. This has

helped the customer to save their time and money as well.

Our website is C2C model developed on XAMMP web server where osCommerce is used to design

frontend and MYSQL is used to design backend. XAMPP is a free and open source cross-platform web

server package, consisting mainly of the Apache, MySQL database, and interpreters for scripts written in

the PHP and Perl programming languages.

Thus we can say that Nepalibazar.com facilitates the speed and efficiency with which information

regarding the purchase and sell of the product required by the users can be processed, stored and

retrieved. In addition to this it is cost effective, user friendly, facilitate access to information to

customers, provide 24-hours service and more reliable and secured for performing transaction.
