Admins can add, edit products and track user orders. They can also batch update prices for products.

Quotation and Sales Tax Management System.

Quotation and Sales Tax Management Sytem

I devised and implemented a system within a timeframe of less than one month, currently operational within my father's business infrastructure. This system superseded an error-prone Microsoft Excel-based solution, deficient in maintenance capabilities. In anticipation of my father's absence during a trip abroad, I engineered an automated solution to optimize workflow processes. Developed using Microsoft Access, the system's design predates my enrollment in university. It remains operational, with my father attesting to its indispensability.
