Digital Salon System

Abstract

Before starting FYP we did a lot of brainstorming whether we should just do FYP as degree formality or have to make a useful product that solves the problem of common users. Because we believe that the purpose of technology is to solve real world problems and make life easier for common man. Since our project is not very unique but it is adding value in the life of the common man. Nobody paid attention towards this problem so we decided to go for it. Our project’s goal is to facilitate a user with an online salon appointment system to reduce the wait factor which many customers often face when they visit any salon, by online booking of the salon services. This will provide ease to many users to book different salon services on the basis of priority of nearest located salons, price, rating, popularity and much more. In today’s age, where everything is becoming online, this particular business has not been digitized yet. We are providing a solution to a real life problem by which many citizens are suffering from. We have divided our system in three parts from user perspective i.e. Mobile application for customer, Web Admin interface for Salon Owner and Super Admin panel. We provide general mobile and web applications which those three actors can use according to their usability. Salon owner can introduce his/her salon publicly by first signing in on our system. After that he/she can add, update, view and delete content related to the salon and further we can view the schedule of the salon. When any client books any service from that specific salon, the salon owner gets an updated scheduled pattern with client name and arriving time. The normal flow from client’s perspective is that client can search and view different available services on the basis of filter by location, price and others. After selecting service, it moves the client to a scheduled scenario where he can select the suitable and available slots then he further moves to payment option, the payment can be done online as well as he/she can provide cash to salon on time where client has his/her services done. The notification message will be sent to the customer and he/she will be reminded through messages regularly of his/her appointment .The client can also view his/her booked appointments and can also cancel his/her appointment. The normal flow from the owner's perspective is that he can set services by providing location of that salon. The main objective of Super Admin is to authenticate and manage various salons registered on the system. We just have one goal, which is to reduce the wait factor. Also to provide a digital salon system to our country and citizens.
