A Fully Functional Shopping Mall Application – ShopVista

Abstract

In today's fast-paced world, shopping has become an integral part of daily life for most individuals. However, the demands of busy lifestyles have left limited time for this essential activity, prompting a quest for quicker and more convenient shopping solutions. Shoppers encounter a range of challenges, including uncertainty about product availability, navigating extensive shopping malls, and occasionally forgetting intended purchases. To address these issues, this paper introduces a comprehensive shopping mall application that offers a solution to modern shopping dilemmas. The proposed application offers a wealth of features, including detailed information about every shop within a mall, real-time updates on product availability, the ability to create and manage customer wish lists, and an interactive mall map. This multifaceted system comprises a mobile application designed for the Android platform and a robust server-side module serving as the central database connecting customers and shop owners. Additionally, there is a web service interface that allows administrators to efficiently manage functions within this system. This research paper outlines the conceptualization, development, and implementation of this cutting-edge shopping mall application. By addressing the challenges faced by today's shoppers and harnessing the power of technology, the proposed solution seeks to enhance the shopping experience, offering both shoppers and mall operators a modern and efficient means of engagement.
