About the organization
Indyflix Movies and rental management system is a business that aims at specialising
movie sales and loans. This was created by three young entrepreneurs Peter Young, Alice
Wong and Mark Goh. Peter was the one who was a movie maker and media teacher. Three of
these entrepreneur had different interest areas related to movies. The company focuses on
selling and renting movies, videos, games and music to their customers. Apart from this
Indyflix Movies also offers services towards the customer that includes delivery of movies

data maintained by the company. The company is having a website at present situation that
provides very basic functions and ensures proper searching of movies that are available for

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
sale or rental. In order to purchase a particular movie it becomes important for the customer
to download the purchase form and should have an email access so that they can store the
information. However it is impossible to identify which movies are available which are not.
There is a huge lack in the website regarding e-commerce capabilities. Moreover there is no
centralized integrated database system that leads to ineffective working of the website. Thus
the new system will provide benefits in several ways. In addition to this customers will be
able to make reservations directly on the websites and will be able to check whether the
movie is available or not. Apart from this the store employee will be able to check the check
the data of registered member by using the online store.
Non-functional requirements
Reservations: presently the website manages all the reservations manually. This includes
managing the reservation details along with the name of customer and movie name. This
details are being updated on sticky notes.
Security: the store security is needed to be improved so that it can offer a better way of
managing the data stored in different stores of the company. The store manager is allowed
only to modify the data stored.
Internet access: the website maintained by the company presently is not fully functional
website that lacks main capabilities of e-commerce. There is no effective way in which the
customers can place their orders online. The website maintained performs the basic tasks only
that includes allowing customer and employees to search movie details.
