Website Functionalities and Features:

1. Makemechic.com allows user to register, by creating a profile, by submitting various details and allows users to purchase various products from a wide and extravagant selection of clothes, shoes, apparels, lingerie, accessories.

2. User can create a wish list and add various items to the wish-list which can be bought in the future.

3. To deliver an item, good to the customer, the customer details, and shipping address are entered by the shopper.

Recommendations/Enhancement Proposals:

1) The new system is designed to provide functionality to a wide market base catering to people living in different geographic locations and regions and enables them to make a shared purchase for their friend, especially on special occasions such as his/her birthday. The person who is initiating the purchase or buying the gift gets an option of suggesting a product to the group members. The system also assists the person in the selection of gifts by visually depicting the top- selling categories, products, brands in the form of a dashboard of graphs and pie charts. There is also a social search functionality which enables the visitors to find what their friends and other customers have bought from this website.

2) The group members can make their individual choices on what percentage of total price are they ready to contribute, vote for a particular product and give their confirmation on their willingness to contribute for the gift. The system’s Shared Bill component ensures that the sum of the amounts paid by each individual in the group equals the total price of the product.

3) The new system ensures that the person initiating the shared gift purchase can place the order only after getting a confirmation status from each group member.

4) The new system also provides functionality to customers of sharing their purchases through social media like Facebook and Twitter. This way their recommendations travel far and wide amongst their friends which gives a feel of social shopping experience, since people trust friends’ opinions than reading reviews from unknown people. This C2C marketing increases the company’s profitability and minimizes the company’s marketing budget.

Explore New Features and Analysis:

The existing online system for MakeMechic was analyzed and tested for several functionalities like a regular retail website. However, our focus was on whether this website provides better options to make gift-shopping an enjoyable and convenient experience for its customers.

To gather more information on this project, the methods applied were: 1. Accessed MakeMechic web sources 2. Analyzed existing wish-list functionality 3. Analyzed selection and purchase mechanism applied for shopping online 4. Identified that group shopping could be a feasible option and can be implemented as an add on functionality 5. Analyzed how this could be integrated in the existing system with least cost and how the entire end to end transaction can be completed and processed. 6. Having capability to use social networking such as Facebook and Twitter as an additional feature to enable C2C marketing as an additional feature for MakeMeChic


Requirements Analysis and Modeling Techniques:

This case study is essentially divided into two sections for both existing and suggested upgraded system. The Context Diagram depicts the functionalities in the context of the Make Me Chic website and explains how a customer interacts with the online environment and conducts shopping, while the Use Cases and the Use Case Diagrams categorically explain the process and data flows that are generated by triggers from several sources, when shopping is initiated and carried out. These diagrams also help in understanding how the upgraded system will work through the process flow, and if any exceptional occurrences are encountered, for example, irregularities in the customer address or credit card information, and what could be the suggested sequence in that case. The Data Dictionary notations help get a better idea of the different types of products and their features that are associated with the process flow. The Class Diagram depicts the different classes and their interrelationships that play a significant role in precisely explaining how the user interface works and processes data, by referring to different classes and their attributes and functions. Moreover, the Sequence Diagram helps in getting a clearer picture in what sequence the transactions are conducted throughout the process, and how each process responds to a request and makes a way for the next process. All of these efficient modeling techniques have been indispensable in analyzing and designing the social gift-shopping feature that is a suggested system upgrade for Make Me Chic with new ideas and functionalities.
