1. Design Plan:
1.2 Software Design Modules:
As per the case study of CHEMEX, the organization is in need to develop a system that
can allow its client health care facilities to order drugs as well as supply it, a billing system,
warehouse management system and web based application.
Web Based Application: This application will allow CHEMEX to provide the
opportunity to the client organization having a 24*7 connection with it.
