3. Project Abstract
The Market Billing System is a software application designed to automate the billing process
in a supermarket. It allows staff to add items, calculate total bills, maintain billing history,
and improve checkout efficiency. The system reduces human error and ensures transparent
customer transactions.
4. Problem Statement
Manual billing in supermarkets is time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks centralized record-
keeping. This can lead to inaccurate transactions, customer dissatisfaction, and poor
inventory management. A digital billing system streamlines the process, increases accuracy,
and improves customer service.

5. Objectives
Develop a user-friendly billing interface for supermarket staff.
Enable adding, viewing, and updating items.
Generate and display customer bills dynamically.
Maintain a historical record of all bills generated.
Implement basic user authentication for secure access.
6. Project Scope
Included:
User authentication.
Adding items with name, price, and quantity.
Generating itemized bills.
Updating inventory after each transaction.
Saving and viewing billing history.
7. Methodology
1. Requirements Analysis – Identify user needs and system features.
2. System Design – Design classes (e.g., Authentication, Bill) and UI flow.
3. Implementation – Code in C++ using file I/O and templates.
4. Testing – Run multiple test cases to ensure accurate billing and item tracking.
5. Documentation – Prepare user guide and code documentation.
6. Demonstration – Showcase the working system with sample transactions.
8. Expected Outcomes
A functional C++ console application.
Features for item entry, billing, history viewing, and authentication.
Complete documentation and codebase.
Live demonstration of the billing process.
