Introduction

Since the beginning, human thought and creativity separate him

from his fellow creatures. While beasts have specially developed
body parts like sharp claws and tooth to adapt to their environment,
man adapts the environment to himself. Man has no sharp claws and
teeth but he has the bow and arrow, and spear to hunt. Man has no
thick fur to survive in the cold regions of the world but he has
utilized the skin of other animals as clothes to warm him from cold,
or shade him from heat. Adapting the environment to him using tools
is a human ingenuity called technology.

Today, the world is overrun by technology. It runs from the

average kitchen knife to the towering skyscrapers (skyscrapers are
product of technology yet they are technology in themselves for they
answer the human need for space) to the complicated algorithms that
create systems in the digital world. In spite of the complexity
technology has gone through, it remains true to its purpose: to
adapt the environment to man or in simpler terms - to make life more
convenient.

Indeed, technology affects contemporary community life by

making commodities convenient and services efficient. In line with
this, Information Technology is groundbreaking and has an
indispensable role in todays world. It is the study, design,
development, application, implementation, support or management of
computer-based information systems."1 Simply put, Information
Technology is the use of computers to effectively manage and
organize data. Both the government and private sectors are employing
Information Technology to provide efficient services to the people.

In spite of the practical advantages of using modern

technology, there are still private business establishments that are
operating manually. These establishments suffer from the difficulty
of accounting the resources and calculating profits. In addition,
manual operation provides slow-paced services that undermine
business profits. One of the business sectors that are still trapped
in manual operation is RACAL Motors.
Background of the Study

The researchers surveyed different government and private

sectors in the Municipality of Binalbagan and found out that several
of these sectors are still operating manually. They decided to focus
on RACAL Motors, a business sector.

In the field of business transactions, quality services are of

prime importance. This entails accuracy in data transmission
(receiving and providing information), like availability of items
and their corresponding prices; efficiency in data management
(storage and retrieval of information), like keeping the records of
previous customers; and alacrity in data manipulation for analysis
of capital and profit. All these are hindered by manual operations.

Furthermore, the Racal Motors Binalbagan branch has only a

sole employee in charge of the operation. He does all the work in
the company including the checking of the monthly income. The system
would also lessen the burden of the employee in organizing and
providing confidentiality, and security in data flows of Racal
Motors. In a greater scheme, this system would also help the
community in the Municipality of Binalbagan.

This study shows the importance of technology in contemporary

community and its effects, especially for quick information traffic
and providing accurate information.

The researchers will solve the difficulty of manual operations

and at the same time show the importance of technology by providing
an automated business transaction system for the Racal Motors. While
solving the problem of manual operations, the said system would also
ensure quality services to the clienteles of the company. In
addition, it will also secure the privacy of the customers and
provide will serve as a security for the company.
Statement of the Problem

The Racal Motors is a business establishment that is operating

manually. Manual operation undermines Racal Motors services to its
clienteles. The main problem of this paper is to provide an
automated system for the business transactions of Racal Motors.
Likewise, it sought to answer the following problems:

1. What programing language is suited for the business

operations of Racal Motors? This program should cater the storage
and access of records in the most effective manner.
2. What are the prerequisites of the programing language
needed to make it efficient? Along this problem, is to ask whether
these prerequisites are within the disposal of Racal Motors
Binalbagan branch?
3. In addition, the system the researchers will provide for
the Racal Motors will also ensure the security of logging the
records, expenses, and profit of the company.
4. Furthermore, the system should have the capability to
connect other branches of Racal Motors for an overall assessment of
its expenses and profit for the entire company. In line with this,
it is ideal for the system to be user friendly in terms of its
installation and access.
5. Lastly, how does this automated system will affect the
business transactions of Racal motors (in line with the management
and in accordance to its services to its customers)?
Objective of the Study

The main objective of the study is to show the importance of

Information Technology in the contemporary community especially in
the business sector. This study aims also to achieve the following:

1. to transform the companys manual operations into an

automated system;

Inventory Control System (Barcode Incorporation at Chicago)

Inventory Control System are employed in a wide variety of

applications, but they all revolve around tracking delivery of goods
to customers. Inventory Control is crucial in retail stores,
especially those with a large number or variety of merchandise items
for sale. Inventory Control is also used in warehouses to rack
orders and shipments, and for automated order processing. Other
important applications of inventory control systems are in
manufacturing shipping and receiving.

Automated Inventory Control System work for scanning a

barcode either on the item. A barcode scanner is used to read the
barcode and the information encoded by the barcode is read by the
machine. This information is then tracked by a central computer
system. The inventory control system can serve a variety of function
in this case. It can help a worker locate the items on the order
list in the warehouse, it can encode shipping information like
tracking numbers and delivery addresses, and it can remove the
purchase items from the inventory tally to accurate count of in-
stock items. All of this data works in tandem to provide business
with real-time inventory tracking information. Inventory control
system make it simple to locate and analyze inventory in real-time
with a simple database search.

Worlds End Motorcycles System

World's End Motorcycles was formed in 1978 to cater for the

servicing needs of the London motorcycle courier industry and was
originally based in the World's End area of Chelsea, south west
London. The company relocated to Hammersmith in 1994 and started
importing Japanese 'Home Market' motorcycles (grey imports) like the
Honda Bros, CB-1 and the Yamaha Serow. At the turn of the Millennium
the traditional motorcycle retail sector started to change and
World's End was no exception, we started to focus more on spare
parts, initially just for grey imports but quickly expanding into
other models as the demand for low price, quality replacement parts
grew. The Internet became our primary focus and we soon developed a
massive range of easy to buy spare parts for an unprecedented range
of motorcycles, and the decision was made to relocate to more
pleasant surroundings by the sea, and Hove in East Sussex became our
home.

By July 2007 we had outgrown our maze of mews units and transferred
our headquarters, main storage and trade counter to our present
location four miles along the coast to the west in Southwick, West
Sussex near to the entrance of Shorham Harbour. At the start of 2009
we took on our second warehouse on Grange Road Industrial Estate, to
make room for further stock and to house the WMD office, the 'trade
only', and sister company of Wemoto, the retail part of the
organization.

As of Autumn 2009 we hold over 25,000 stock lines, a total of

136,000 replacement hard parts with over 375,000 applications and a
value of nearly one million pounds, an investment necessitated by
our desire to service our customers requirements quicker and more
efficiently than anyone else, the proof being that over 80% of our
orders are from returning customers. We are currently adding about
1000 new parts to our database every day to give you more choice at
the best possible prices.
In addition to our impressive portfolio of products we feel our
customer services are second to none in the motorcycle industry, we
have carefully assembled a 30 strong team of the best, most
knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff we can find, all of whom are
eager to make sure we supply the best value service, with the
minimum of fuss in the quickest possible time, always striving to
pull out all the stops so that your beloved machine is off the road
for as little time as possible.
