Smart Brokering for Household Items

Households will normally feel very annoyed when they want to buy a product but the
budget is limited. Thus, a wise consumer will carry out product price survey before
purchasing so that he or she is able to buy the desired product within the required
budget.
This project proposes the development of a Smart Brokering System for product price
survey activity so that to ease consumers in their daily routine in selecting the
household products. In this project, a price comparison system for household products
will be developed to display all possible product prices from several grocery stores
based on the budget preferences set by the consumers. In particular, the proposed
system will be developed by using a full-text search library, which the data is already
been populated in the database to implement the data retrieval process. This system is
written in C# and ASP .Net. Apart from that, system testing is carried out by the author
to test the algorithm so that the functions are working smoothly and perfectly.
Acceptance tests has been done by the potential consumers to make sure the end
product meet the users’ requirement.
As a result, the expected outcome of this research is to improve the easiness of
shopping and the efficiency of price surveying activity by the consumers
