Abstract:
The creation of an online mobile shopping platform for Kigali Phones Shop is the focus of this
project. By offering a digital platform where customers can simply browse and purchase
smartphones, tablets, and accessories, the main objective is to improve the shopping experience.
The first chapter will cover the study's history, following the development of e-commerce from
its inception through the efforts of companies like CompuServe and Amazon to more modern
platforms like Alibaba and Jumia in Africa. It also looks at Rwanda's e-commerce scene,
highlighting its growth in spite of a number of obstacles. The second chapter also discusses
Database Management Systems (DBMS) detailing its structure, features, and types, including
relational, object-oriented, and NoSQL databases; it also covers key concepts relevant to the
Online Mobile Shopping System. The third project focuses on system analysis and design for
the proposed online mobile shopping system for Kigali Phones Shop. It begins by addressing
the issues with the current manual purchasing system by offering an online platform with
features like customer registration, product catalogue management, shopping carts and Wishlist.
Tools like data flow diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, and a data dictionary are employed
for system design and analysis. The final phase covers the implementation, coding and
technology used such as PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript to develop Online Mobile Shopping
System, where the conceptual idea is transformed into a functional platform facilitating smooth
interactions between shoppers and suppliers. The implementation process involves selecting
appropriate tools and technologies for both server and client sides to ensure a seamless user
experience. Keywords: online, mobile, shopping, phone and system.
