author (Charlton et al., 2019), the business here is producing the organic vegetables, fruits,
eggs, decorative flowers and honey. But it is becoming more difficult to take down the notes
of the products that are growing and serving to the people. They need to show with the help
of the documentation about the vegetables that they grow are fully natural. The method uses
to grow these fruits, vegetables and other things are natural and organic in nature. According
to the author (Tsiropoulos et al., 2015), it is difficult to keep track also about the same and to
make the documentation as well as to update these on regular intervals. They need a system
that can create documents about these products and their availability. According to the author
(Dumontet et al., 2017), the process used to make the products will be difficult to manage.

 Collection of information about the availability of the products.
 Storing information about the supplies to the customer will let help the company to know
about their customer and about their needs as well.
 Updating information about the fruits and vegetables will help to know the customers
about the products.
 Picture of the fruits and vegetables while mentioning their organic way of growing them.
 Types of decorative plants can be shown to the customers.
 Stock will be regularly updated in the new system and will provide information that is
more precise to the customer who wants to buy the products.
Business benefits: - The implemented system will help the business:-
 This will help the owner to manage less on the paper and all work can be done on the
computer systems.
 The less time will waste managing information about the products daily.
 Maintain the correct orders and correct information about the products will help the
customer to know more about the availabilities of fruits and vegetables.

Risk and Cost-Benefit Analysis
According to the author (Balmford et al., 2018) the risk and cost-benefit analysis is done in
order to evaluate what is going to be the budget of the company and in which way they need
to move forward in order to maintain the profit in the company. There are different kinds of
risk involve in this project:-
1. The top management if makes very important decisions without asking or consulting to the
other members of the company.
2. If in any case the fruits, vegetables, honey, eggs and decorative plants may not occur or
may damage due to the weather.
3. The people may shift from using the organic vegetables to the no organically grown
vegetables may result in the loose of the company.
4. Lack of support from the worker’s side may affect the growth of the vegetables and fruits
can result in lack of delivery.
5. The next risk in the project can occur due to the complex problem occurs in the technical
phase and require intense training for the workers.
6. The change in the scope of the business or the inadequate system documentation can affect
the business.
7. The manager fails to produce the results can affect the business and the machines may fail
to work will create havoc in the users.
8. The system requirement given may be different from the actual requirement can affect the
business and low down the revenue.
9. Planning of the project in a poor way can result in business loss.
10. The lack of management skills, accounts skills can produce a large loss in the investment
done in the company and affect the new system developed.
11. The requirement from the customer side may increase but small team size may affect not
able to produce required demand.
12. The old workers cannot handle advanced technology.

Benefits of the new system
Tangible benefits: According to the author (Balmford et al., 2018) the tangible benefits are
said to be the type of benefits which help the business to grown and maintain the method in
which the cost of products gets minimum and the services that are used in the company also
decrease. The two types of the tangible benefits that the new system can help here are: -
1. Saving of resources: The most important benefit that the company here will get with the
help of the new business is the lowering of usage of resources. The resources that were
previously used by the company to monitor the documentation of the fruits and vegetables,
to track the records of the good sell to the customer and the record maintain of revenue
will now be eliminated. The new system will be capable of maintaining the records, track
record of the sell goods and record of revenue earned by the company.
2. Increase in revenue: - The new system will able to increase the revenue of the company.
The revenue of the company will increase which will directly help the workers working in
the company to increase the income. The increase in the income of workers will help them
to motivate to work more. The new system will reduce the expenses spend to purchase
systems to do the work of documentation and other works. According to the author (Kaur
et al., 2018), the different systems which previously needed to purchase now can be solved
by the one system only. The new system will now help to eliminate excessive expenses.
Non Tangible benefits: - According to the author (Balmford et al., 2017) the non-tangible or
intangible benefits are said to be the type of benefits in which the company will benefit from
making more customers, the producer-customer relationship will increase and company
image will increase. These benefits will help the company to grow and the business will
expand at a much higher pace. Different kind of intangible benefits are: -
1. Customer expansion: - The very first kind of benefit that will be present in the system is
the expansion of customers. The company will be able to gather more customer with the
help of the new system. The new system will able to give accurate information to the
customer which will help them to know the latest products that are available and will also
help them to make customers for their company. The company will have more customers
and will help them to expand the business.
