Is there a significant relation between the propose system and the existing system' CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Today it is proven that online business procedure can give big difference to a business; the main concept or idea that we have derived was to create a system that will enhance the ability of purchasing procedure and at the same time it can fill the satisfactory needs of customers. As we have look around the company we have seen that the main concept of their retailing process was the manual procedure in which the company or store will wait for a customer to arrive and to purchase an item, the employee will assist the customer and write the data on a record book or log sheet and give a receipt to a customer. We have come up to propose the Online Retailing system to upgrade the existing system and to give fast and efficient service for their valued customers.

The second one was the retailing process in which the owner will put the entire LPG tank in a store and sell it either one by one or sell it in whole sale it depend upon the customers transaction. The last was a minor one, this are the one who are supplying LPG tankers to a small authorize retailing store or sari-sari store.

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM (PROPOSED) Receive the Verification Verification Code code Customer SERVER ROOM text for Purchase purchase store Online retailing system Access the system through internet verification code and approval to purchase Employee DATA FLOW DIAGRAM (EXISTING) Approval to transact Client Arrive to buy Retailing finish transaction System Transact with The customer Employee STRATEGIC CONCERN FOR INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL USE As we have showed and proposed our system to the company of GASUL their initial reaction to our proposed system was to adopt our system. They say that they will use the system to all of their branch office that was located in the different parts of the province. The system will provide them the information and it will be their main strategic pattern for their branches, the system will provide them the information about their markets from all of their branches, they even say that the system will lessen their employees work by just accessing to their server they can see the whole report of the sales without counting it manually. In total they want to adopt the system that we have proposed to upgrade the sales procedure of their office branches in which they monitor manually. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY This system was design to upgrade the retailing process of the company GASUL, the system that we are developing will fasten and make easy the processes that the original system cannot perform. This will include a verification code that the customers are really purchasing the item/s; this procedure was excluded in the original process. The system that we are developing will be in need of different of a computer that will serve as the main server; it will be the one who will receive all the S.M.S that the customers will send. It also needs a connection of internet to have a connection process with the S.M.S system and most of all a database program that will serve as the output carrier of the system.
