HEAD: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2Functional OverviewProblem StatementCountries have different agencies that manage exports and imports of commodities. Most of these agencies are independent of each other. Some of the agencies may have independent systems for managing the exporters and importers as well as issuance of export and import licences. Due to several levels of approval by several agencies, approval of a licence may take days or weeks to come through.Usually, importers and exporters are required to move from one agency to the other example import licensing agency to the custom clearance for tax payments and verification. The licensing agency may deny a licence if the taxes are not cleared. In other cases the taxes department may manually send an agent to verify the licence and the commodities being imported.This process becomes very hectic and time consuming. Verification and issuance of licence may take longer than necessary. There may also exist a lot of redundant data between agencies. It is also very hard to track on exporters and importers history from a central point. In addition, loss of revenue due to unpaid taxes may be present especially due to lack of proper tracking of exporters and importers.Proposed SolutionThere is need for a web based platform which can interconnect all licensing and agencies involved in export and import management.

Exporters and importers should be able to create their accounts, apply for a licence, and declare their export or import commodities
