CHAPTER- 4 SYSTEM ANALYSIS

4.1 STUDY OF CURREMT SYTEM


The current e-commerce system serves as a digital platform that enables businesses to sell
products online. While it has streamlined online shopping, many existing platforms still face
challenges related to efficiency, security, user experience, and automation. Below are some key
aspects of the current system:
1. Product Management
 Businesses manage product listings, descriptions, pricing, and stock levels manually or
through basic inventory systems.
 Lack of real-time inventory updates can lead to overselling or stock discrepancies.
 Product categorization and search functionality may be limited or inefficient.
2. User Authentication & Customer Management
 Customers create accounts for personalized experiences, order history tracking, and faster
checkouts.
 Some platforms lack proper authentication and security measures, leading to potential data
breaches.
 Many businesses struggle with customer data fragmentation, preventing effective marketing
and recommendations.
3. Shopping Cart & Checkout Process
 Customers can add, remove, and update products in their carts before proceeding to checkout.
 Cart abandonment rates are high due to complex checkout processes, slow loading times, and
limited payment options.
 Guest checkout is often not available, forcing users to register before purchasing.
4. Order Processing & Delivery Management
 Many businesses rely on third-party logistics providers for order fulfillment and tracking.
 Manual order processing can lead to delays, miscommunication, and errors in order status
updates.
 Real-time tracking and automated order status notifications are often missing in traditional
systems.
5. Payment & Billing System
 Most e-commerce platforms support credit/debit cards, online banking, and digital wallets, but

2203031087035 Page 15 of 73 Parul Institute of Eng. & Tech.


some lack multi-currency or international payment support.
 Security concerns regarding payment gateways can impact customer trust.
 Refund and cancellation processes are often slow and inefficient.
6. Review & Feedback System
 Customers rely on ratings and reviews before making purchase decisions.
 Some systems lack moderation, allowing fake reviews to mislead buyers.
 Verified purchase reviews can enhance credibility and trust.
7. Customer Support & Communication
 Businesses provide support via email, phone, or chat, but response times vary.
 Lack of AI-driven chatbots and real-time support can result in poor customer experiences.
 Automated order confirmations, shipping updates, and personalized recommendations
improve engagement.
8. Reporting & Analytics
 Many businesses fail to leverage data analytics for improving product performance,
marketing, and customer engagement.
 Limited use of AI and predictive analytics prevents optimized decision-making.
 A robust reporting system can help businesses track sales, trends, and customer behavior for
strategic improvements.

4.2 PROBLEM AND WEAKNESSES OF CURRENT SYSTEM

8.4 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

During the development of the e-commerce project at Techqueto LLP, several challenges
were encountered. Below are the key problems faced along with their solutions:

1️. Problem: Database Performance Issues

 Issue: Slow query execution due to large datasets in the product and order tables.

 Solution: Optimized queries using indexes, pagination, and caching mechanisms (Redis) to
improve response time.

2️. Problem: Security Vulnerabilities

 Issue: Risks of SQL Injection, XSS attacks, and unauthorized access.

 Solution: Implemented prepared statements, input validation, CSRF protection, and


password hashing (bcrypt) to enhance security.

3️. Problem: Payment Gateway Integration Challenges

 Issue: API failures and transaction delays during payment processing.

 Solution: Used error handling, retry mechanisms, and webhook verification to ensure
seamless payment transactions.

4️. Problem: Responsive UI Issues

 Issue: Layout inconsistencies on different screen sizes.

 Solution: Used Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, and media queries to ensure a fully responsive
design.

5️. Problem: Slow Page Load Time

 Issue: Large product images and multiple API requests affecting performance.

 Solution: Implemented image compression, lazy loading, and CDN (Content Delivery
Network) for faster load times.

8.5 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP / PROJECT WORK

The six-month internship at Techqueto LLP focused on the development of an e-commerce


website using Laravel for the backend and React.js for the frontend. The project aimed to
create a secure, scalable, and user-friendly online shopping platform with essential features

like user authentication, product management, order processing, and payment integration.

Key Achievements:

 Full-Stack Development: Gained hands-on experience in Laravel, MySQL, JavaScript, and


API integration.

 E-Commerce Features: Implemented cart management, checkout process, and real-time


order tracking.

 Payment Gateway Integration: Integrated Stripe/Razorpay for secure online transactions.


Security & Optimization: Applied CSRF protection, SQL injection prevention, and caching
mechanisms.

 Testing & Debugging: Conducted unit testing, performance testing, and bug fixes to ensure
system reliability.

8.6 LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

1. Limitations

 Mobile App Development – Develop a React Native or Flutter-based app for better
accessibility.

 Scalability Constraints – The system is suitable for small to mid-sized businesses but may
require cloud-based solutions for large-scale operations.

 Manual Order Management – Shipping and fulfilment processes are not fully automated.

 Limited AI Integration – No advanced AI-driven product recommendations or predictive


analytics.

2203031087035 Page 69 of 73 Parul Institute of Eng. & Tech.


 Basic Reporting & Analytics – Lacks deep data insights and predictive sales analysis.

 No Mobile App – The system is web-based, without a dedicated mobile application.

2️. Future Enhancements

 Cloud Scalability – Implement AWS or Firebase for high-traffic handling.

 AI-Powered Features – Add chatbots, personalized recommendations, and fraud detection.

 Automated Order Processing – Integrate real-time shipping tracking and automated


invoicing.

 Advanced Analytics – Improve sales insights with AI-driven forecasting and customer
behavior analysis.

 Mobile App Development – Develop a React Native or Flutter-based app for better
accessibility.
