Photo Lab Management System

About Photo Lab Management System:

Photo Lab Management System (PLS or PLMS) is a software project developed for a typical photo studio. It is implemented on a pure Java2EE architecture with Oracle database. Here, all database transactions are done using type 4th driver which is database dependent and is a pure Java driver.

Existing System:

The existing photo lab systems include paper works for almost all the works such as details about customer billing, employee salary, customer details, materials used for photo development, etc. Every records should be entered with pen on a paper which is a very tedious, difficult, and uneconomical task.

Proposed System:

The proposed system can store huge amount of data of customer coming to the photo studio along with the details of employees working and material used in the lab. Data are stored very effectively as the procedure is category-wise.

Suppose, the data is about customer, then it will be stored under “Customers” inventory. Likewise, employee details are stored under “Employees” inventory, and details of materials are stored under “Materials” inventory. Hence, all data are effectively managed in the system database.

1. Administrator: They have complete access to all the parts of the system with roles such as handling, maintaining and managing all the components, users, and modules. They check the status of photo lab on a regular basis.
2. Data Entry Operator (DEO): This user of the system is responsible for making a detailed analysis of every day details related to customer, employees, and materials. Also, they should update the data regarding billing, salaries, and materials in the system.

Modules Overview:

1. Log in and registration: This allows admin to log in to the system and register the DEO details. The details are to be entered on Log in and Registration pages.
2. Customer details: The customer details should be entered carefully by the DEO user-part of the system.
3. Reports: After logging in to the system, the DEO can generate reports and the administrator can view these daily.
