THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter presents the problem and its background, statement of the problem,

general and specific objectives, scope and limitations, significance of the study, definition

of terms and the conceptual framework of the study.

Introduction

Nowadays, most of the leading aesthetic clinics provide their products and

services through computer systems. Computer systems makes work easier and less hassle

for people with busy schedules. The programmers program the system, customize them,

maintain the operating system, and upgrade or update services that is on the system.

Technology makes it easy for people who have small or huge business to

communicate with each other. No matter what size of your business is, technology still

has benefits that will help the owner of the business make money and at the same time

serve their customers.

Today almost all of us use the internet in buying things. It requires less effort and

it just uses your credit card. To keep up with the competition and the technology today
like other clinics and so that they can also compete head to head with other clinics, they

will

need to upgrade and have a system that will be able to compete with their rivals and a

system that will be simpler and a lot easier to use than the others that are available to us

today.

Electronic commerce or ecommerce is a term for any type of business, or

commercial transaction, that involves the transfer of information across the Internet. It

covers a range of different types of businesses, from consumer-based retail sites, through

auction or music sites, to business exchanges trading goods and services between

corporations. It is currently one of the most important aspects of the Internet to emerge.

Different components of the electronic commerce will help customers reserve their

appointments and at the same time the employee can manage the stocks and sales of their

products. Using a system is way much better than using pen and paper because it helps

keep track of record orderly.

Statement of the Problem

Skin Essentials Aesthetic Dermatology Clinic now has a growing number of

patient due to the new demand of this generation. They have an existing Facebook

account that is not reliable enough that their patients can only view some of their services
and promos but not the products that the clinic is selling. They still use clear book that

contains their printed products and services.

The employee will have to really be organized so that the hand-written

transactions will be organized enough to avoid misplaced documents and to keep track of

its daily operations. It is very hard for them to still have a pen and paper method because

if there will be a lot of patients in a specific day, they will not be able to manage it well.

The company will need a system that will help the staff manage their clinic and their

patient’s demands.

The study sought to answer the following questions:

1. How can the business implement an easy method of reserving appointment

schedules?

2. How would the system be able to help the company in managing and

updating the sales and inventory of the company’s products?

3. How would this system help in increase their clients and sales of the

company?

Objectives of the Study

The main purpose of this study is to design and implement a Reservation and

Sales System for Skin Essentials Aesthetic Dermatology Clinic so that it will lessen the
use of pen and paper in their company and to adapt the business to a more technological

aspect.

Specifically, the study aims to:

1. Design a user-friendly system the following characteristics:

a.) Promotes the company’s products and services;

b.) Manage the appointment schedules and sales of the clinic.;

c.) Customer can reserve appointment with their preferred schedule;

and

d.) Customer can have an option to buy the company’s products.

2. Create the system using the following programs:

a.) HTML, PHP and CSS for coding the functions and designing the

interface of the system;

b.) XAMPP and MySQL that will serve as the system’s database.

3. Implement and test the system;

4. Evaluate the performance according to the following criteria:

a.) Functionality, which enables the system to serve its purpose;

b.) Usability, which acts the individual assessment of such use by a stated

or implied set of users;

c.) Reliability, which maintain its level of performance

Significance of the Study

This study will be a significant improvement not just on Skin Essentials Aesthetic

Dermatology Clinic but to the other companies as well. This study will also help in the
advancement of the company’s management especially in their inventory of their

products. This will help their potential clients to view or inquire their preferred schedule

of appointment. Also, for the people interested in their products or services, they can also

view the clinic’s products or services and what it can offer for them. This study will be

beneficial to the company because it will help them adapt to modern day technology and

be able to compete with other similar kinds of businesses that use the same kind of

technology on their own companies.

The study will be a great advantage in developing a system and a database for the

said clinic and it will benefit both the clinic and its patients. It will lessen problems of

time and waiting in line for a long time. It will help the clinic keep track of everything

that is done and every customer that comes in every single day because they will have

their very own database. Looking for records will be as easy as ever and records will not

get lost. The staff will have an easier time operating the computer which will not just be a

price list but will also include databases and a system that is very user-friendly.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

Dermatology Clinic in BF Paranaque to help manage and reserve easily. The study will

help patients to save and manage their time. The study will focus on the reservation and

sales so that it will be easier for them to keep track scheduled appointments and manage

their stocks and records.

 This study does not include the computation of the total income Skin Essentials

Aesthetic Dermatology Clinic, the salary of the employees, and the patients’ history and

records. For the payments term, only payment through the clinic will be available. As for

the reservation of schedules, there will be an allotted time for customers without a
