The mobile application provides offer making feature that allows customers bargain with sellers to buy their products at lower prices, while the web-based management system provides features such as product batch uploading and automatic reporting that can help Bargain Basement better manage the online shop. Evolutionary prototyping methodology was chosen as the software development methodology in this project. The requirements were gathered by conducting an interview with the staff of Bargain Basement and also by distributing a questionnaire in the planning and requirement gathering phases.
