Parcel Hub for UTHM Residential College Management System

Abstract

Logistics management is a process of organizing and supervising the 
movement of goods and products. Effective management of package 
logistics is crucial for the smooth functioning of educational institutions 
and ensuring secure operations, particularly in busy residential college 
settings. Nonetheless, the service center of UTHM Residential College is 
using a traditional procedure throughout their logistics operations. The 
current manual approach presents issues in terms of security, tracking, 
and misplaced package due to the growing volume of package and 
deliveries. Therefore, the development of a new system hopefully can 
solve the problem and can be more efficient than before. The proposed 
system will assist students receive real-time notifications so they can 
pick up shipments as soon as possible. Administrative staff will benefit 
from automated data entry since it will improve record-keeping and 
reduce errors. By leveraging advanced technologies and a user-friendly 
interface, the Parcel Hub system will enhance the overall efficiency of 
the parcel management process. This report outlines the conceptual 
framework, development methodology, and technology stack utilized in 
the creation of the Parcel Hub system. System Development Life Cycle 
Prototyping model is used as the methodology to develop this system 
and using PHP as server-side scripting. As a result, the project 
development benefits for emphasizing student information 
management, package receipt and delivery information to meet a 
systematic and efficient management of the UTHM Residential College 
System.
