Fast Cart

Abstract

"The project to create a Supermarket shopping platform where locals could purchase Sri Lankan groceries. It made use of a wide range of instruments, methods, and technologies required for requirement collecting, project management, design, and development. A combination of both qualitative and quantitative approaches, including the Gantt chart and work breakdown structure, are occasionally used. Quantitative methods include questionnaires, interviews, and literature reviews. Wireframes, prototypes, activity diagrams, class diagrams, use case diagrams, and other developing and designing procedures were utilized. I utilized Android Studio, Figma, Firebase, PHP Storm, Google Forms, Astah UML, documentation, data collection, and system design and development, in that order. The paper addresses legal, social, and ethical issues that impact Sri Lankan e-commerce and online stores, as well as the consequences for small businesses, accuracy, liability, and the digital divide. It demonstrates the need for laws such as the Electronic Transactions Act and the importance of openness and fair rivalries in online the retail sector. The project's interface layout provided straightforward-to-use options as well as standardized graphic elements to increase project flexibility, which enhanced the user expertise. The project was implemented using Agile methodology, a Kanban board, Lean concepts, and a methodological approach to software development. Java, PHP, Python, and frameworks like Bootstrap and Android were used to create the FAST CART mobile and web applications. The achievements of the project were largely due to my abilities in study, project management, programming for computers, critical thinking, and UI/UX. The scope of their relevance involves outlining the global groceries platform's challenge domain, the methodology—which entails a variety of instruments and techniques— as well as particular factors, such as social, ethical, and legal ones. The solution centers on an intuitive interface, offers price reductions based on individual choices, and leverages acquired skills. "
