ABSTRACT

The project “INTEGRATED SHIPMENT MANAGEMENT” is designed

using PHP 5.0 as front end and MY-SQL as back end.
Traditional asset moving systems should be computerized to reduce the
tracking of assets, to provide evidence that an asset is being transported correctly, to
reduce late arrival and to improve asset moving system usability for companies with
special needs.
The project contains administrator and customer module. The administrator
logins to the web site using the username and password given in the database. Then he
views the customers registered in the website, confirm the addresses are true and then
approve them to login to make further processes.
The administrator views all asset shipment requests from a source to a
destination and accepts or rejects those requests. Upon approval, the billing details are
posted which can be viewed by customers in their logins. After shipment is confirmed
and payment is received, the uploading stage in containers is also posted.
Likewise, the current location of the moving asset is also posted. In addition,
the destination reached status also be viewed. The payment received and
acknowledged is viewed by customers.
Various reports are provided in both administrator and customer modules for
easy transaction processing.
