LITERATURE SURVEY :

Sharma, A., & Singh, R. (2016). "A Comparative Study of Inventory Management Practices in Supermarkets and Provision Stores." Authors: Anjali
Sharma and Rakesh Singh In their paper, Sharma and Singh conduct a comparative study on inventory management practices between supermarkets and
provision stores. They explore the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall impact of different inventory management strategies in these two types of
retail establishments. The study highlights the key differences in how inventory is tracked, managed, and replenished in supermarkets compared to
provision stores. Supermarkets tend to use more sophisticated technology and systems for inventory management, which allows for better tracking,
reduced wastage, and improved customer satisfaction. In contrast, provision stores often rely on more manual methods, which can lead to higher levels
of stockouts or overstocking. The paper emphasizes the importance of adopting modern inventory management systems to improve operational efficiency
and customer service in retail settings. Rahman, M., & Uddin, M. (2018). "Design and Implementation of a Web-Based Supermarket Management
System." Authors: Mohammad Rahman and Md. Uddin. Rahman and Uddin's paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based supermarket

management system. The authors describe the development process, including the architecture, technologies used, and key features of the system. The
system aims to streamline various supermarket operations such as inventory management, order processing, and customer relationship management. Key
features include a user-friendly interface, real-time inventory tracking, automated order processing, and integrated payment gateways. The paper details
the benefits of the web-based system, such as increased efficiency, reduced operational costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction. The authors also
discuss the challenges faced during the development and implementation phases and propose solutions to overcome these obstacles. The study concludes
by highlighting the potential of such systems to transform traditional supermarket operations and improve overall business performance. Nguyen, T., et
al. (2023). "Understanding the determinants of consumer acceptance of autonomous delivery robots in online grocery shopping." Author: Thuy Nguyen
et al. In this paper, Nguyen and colleagues investigate the factors that influence consumer acceptance of autonomous delivery robots in the context of
online grocery shopping. The study aims to identify key determinants that affect consumers' willingness to adopt this emerging technology. Using a
combination of surveys and statistical analysis, the authors examine variables such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust in technology, and perceived
risk. The findings suggest that consumers are more likely to accept autonomous delivery robots if they believe the technology is reliable, safe, and
improves the convenience of their shopping experience. Trust in technology and perceived usefulness are highlighted as the most significant factors. The
paper also discusses potential barriers to acceptance, such as privacy concerns and fear of technological failures. The authors conclude by offering
recommendations for retailers and technology developers to enhance consumer acceptance of autonomous delivery robots. Li, S., et al. (2023). "Consumer
perceptions of social commerce features and their effects on purchase intentions in online grocery shopping." Author: Shao Li et al. Li and colleagues
explore how social commerce features influence consumer perceptions and their subsequent purchase intentions in online grocery shopping. The paper
delves into various social commerce elements, such as user reviews, ratings, recommendations, and social interactions, and assesses their impact on
consumer behavior. Through a series of experiments and surveys, the study finds that social commerce features significantly enhance trust, perceived
value, and satisfaction, leading to increased purchase intentions. The authors highlight the role of social proof, where positive reviews and high ratings
can significantly boost consumer confidence in making a purchase. Additionally, interactive features that allow consumers to engage with others, such
as discussion forums and social sharing options, are found to create a sense of community and belonging, further encouraging purchase decisions. The
paper concludes by emphasizing the importance for online grocery retailers to integrate robust social commerce features to attract and retain customers.

III. PROPOSED SYSTEM :

The proposed system introduces a more dynamic and user-friendly structure, distributing roles and functionalities between the admin and the users.
Admins retain control over adding and managing products, users, orders, and payments, but users are now empowered to register, log in, browse products,
add items to their cart, complete purchases, and manage their own accounts. This system also includes features for order tracking and secure payment
processing. By decentralizing certain functions, the proposed system aims to streamline operations, improve user engagement, and enhance overall
efficiency.
