Project Background
The Virtucon industry is the farming industry which is proposing a project for developing the online management system for farming operation. The online management system helps in resolving the uncertainties which are accompanied with the human operation performed in daily basis for buyin and selling of the poultry animals. The project owner wants to amalgamate it business operation with the mobile devices for instant payment and booking order. The mobile application helps in increasing the customers from the global world.
The development of the project helps in transforming the manual farming system to an online farming system. The efficiency and effectiveness can be achieved in the booking order management system and payment operation done by the customers. The instant delivery of the required poultry products increases the level of satisfaction an strong bonding with the customers. The purpose of this project is to analyse the sustainability and accuracy of the project in overcoming the complexities and uncertainties associated with the manual system.
Area of impact
The development of the online farming system helps in increasing operational feasibility of the undertaken project. The systematic approach for fulfilling the need and requirement of the project helps in increasing the turnover of the company. The Measurable organization value principles are deployed to analyse the feasibility of the new proposed system to attain long term sustainability. The table below highlight the area of impact associated with the delivery of the project:
