Title
E-Commerce Management System
Abstract
This study addresses the development and implementation of a comprehensive E-commerce Management System as part of a senior design project. The challenges associated with traditional online retail management, including inventory control, user authentication, order processing, and administrative oversight, prompted the investigation into a unified platform that streamlines e-commerce operations and enhances business efficiency.
The primary problem addressed in this research is the need for an integrated and scalable approach to e-commerce management that accommodates both customer-facing operations and administrative functions. Traditional e-commerce solutions often lack customization, fail to provide comprehensive administrative control, or come with prohibitive licensing costs for small to medium-sized businesses.
The methods and procedures involved in this study encompassed a thorough analysis of existing e-commerce platforms and the design and development of a full-stack web application. The system integrates modern web technologies including Node.js for backend services, React for frontend user interfaces, PostgreSQL for data management, and Stripe for secure payment processing. The architecture implements role-based authentication, real-time inventory management, order tracking, and comprehensive administrative dashboards.
The resulting system provides a scalable, cost-effective solution that delivers professional-grade e-commerce functionality while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate diverse business requirements and growth patterns
