Project Completion Report
The Smart supermarket is a project where the customer’s mobile phone pairs with a supermarket trolley and sends the shopping list to the trolley. The smart trolley displays customized special offers and the availability of the items in the shop automatically. The customer picks up the items. The trolley keeps track of the barcodes and allows automatic checkout by sending the barcodes of the item to the Till. The Till processes the customer’s bill by taking into account any discount or promotion. This will make shopping faster and easier.

Project Completion Report
DESCRIPTION:
a. Customer walks into the smart supermarket with his shopping list on his mobile phone. As he enters the shop and gets a trolley for his shopping, he presses the Send button on his phone and it synchronises with the smart trolley and passes the shopping list to the trolley.
b. The trolley automatically sends the list to the Inventory to check for availability of items and sends back stock status to the trolley.
c. The list is also sent to the Special Offers database for any special offers available. A customized offer list will be displayed on the trolley screen. Any discount will be applied to the price.
d. As the customer adds items to the trolley, the inventory is updated. When the customer completes shopping, he clicks the Final Send button to send the final list to the Till. We decided to use the Final Send button to complete the shopping. This will allow the shopper to add any unlisted item that the shopper might pick up, or remove any listed item that the shopper might skip.
e. The Till then calculates the final payable amount by taking into account the discount applicable for the customer.
