Tiivistelmä
This thesis proposes the development of a mobile self-checkout application for a client’s store as a supplementary payment system to the existing traditional customer payment procedure via the cashier checkout point. The application to be created would be mobile compliant and available across all platforms i.e. IOS, Android etc. With this application, customers would be able to take up the task of a cashier by scanning products they intend buy and complete payment themselves. This would boost the payment process and management system of the client’s franchise.
The purpose of the thesis was to develop a functional model that fine points the key actors of the self-checkout application i.e. virtual shopping cart, store, employee and the customer by taking a comprehensive approach in illustrating the various process flows via UML diagrams emanating from each actor’s interplay with the application towards accomplishing a set of objectives. Moreover, the purpose was to elaborate on the functional features of the application by delving into the technical facet of the development of the application, i.e. frontend and backend technologies used.
In this study prototypes of the UI were also designed to showcase the possible features of the mobile self-checkout application. A recommendation for the development and implementation of the application was also made.
