| dc.description.abstract | Shaping Heads is a beauty salon located in Muyenga that provides variety of services for the ladies’
beauty care such as all the manicure, pedicure, retouch, as well as ladies/gents haircuts. Shaping
Heads beauty salon follows a manual paper-based data management system to maintain their
records. Since the current data management system is time consuming to store/retrieve data and
also sometimes does not seem accurate, Shaping Heads beauty salon is therefore concerned about
using a web-based management system as a solution. This salon management system comes with
customer data management, staff data management, appointment handling, message handling, and
reports generation. The proposed Salon Management System was developed using PHP (Hypertext
Pre-processor) which is a free and open-source scripting language. MySQL is used as the database
management system. For the analysis and design the system, Unified Modelling Language (UML)
was used. Since proposed system is running online, Apache web server is used as a processing
server. Brackets was used as the main development tool of the system. JavaScript, jQuery, HTML,
CSS are other technologies which were used for system development. Moreover, the system is
featured with set of non-functional requirements such as security, usability, maintainability,
accuracy and backups. By using the system, the productivity throughout the process will be
increased via the features such as informative dashboards, quick search facilities and reporting.
Easy access to data will improve efficiency in the managerial tasks like decision-making and future
marketing planning. | en_US |
