This will lead to gain customer's satisfaction and to have a better process. Statement of the Problem This study generally aims to create a stand alone Point of Sale System for the Marketing Center of Cavity State University-Main Campus.This Point of sale system can help the Organization to Improve Their Business Process, Getting and Storing ATA, Generate Reports, Transaction within their Costumers, Monitoring their 1 OFF current problem with their current system will be solved. * The Current Application that is being use with their transaction is the Pivot application.

Pivot is composed of so many data cells and datasets where you can create data tables. They are having a hard time in Navigating Their Current System in saving data, keeping track with their sales, finding their inventory.The User having hard time in navigating the system. This leads to the question "How will the System replace the Difficulty in Navigating their current System? (See Appendix, Figure 1). Figure 1 . Fishbone Diagram of Point of Sale System of Marketing Center in Cavity State University Main Campus * The Current Transaction of the Marketing Center is they are using computerized application with Manual Printing of receipts.

The Marketing Clerk is the only one who does the transaction with their customers.The features of that application are very limited and the Clerk will be force to do the other things that the application can't do.

* Another Problem that is facing by the marketing center is they are having a hard time in managing their data.The updating of data is manually encoded that can cause time consuming. Too many data cells can confuse the user and make the Job complicated. And Sometimes the some data get lost because the security features of the current application is very limited and the data can get easily modify.
