Problem Statement:
Running a grocery store presents multiple challenges, spanning inventory control, monitoring
sales, and ensuring a smooth customer shopping experience. Store managers seek an efficient
solution to address these complexities. The problem to solve is the creation of a Grocery Store
Management System (GSM), a C++ application tailored for store managers. This system aims to
provide an intuitive interface, streamlining inventory management, daily sales tracking, and
precise billing.
Problem Solution and Scope:
The Grocery Store Management System is a comprehensive C++ solution that empowers store
managers. It offers an intuitive platform for inventory management, sales monitoring, and
accurate billing. However, it's essential to note that this version will not encompass
customer-oriented features such as online shopping or customer accounts. The focus lies on
enhancing store operations and management efficiency.
