Smart Shopping System with Android Application and Integrated Billing

In metro cities there is a presence of a huge rush at shopping malls on holidays and weekends. This increases even more when huge offers and discounts are present. People buy a variety of items and place them in the trolley. The traditional approach that is used for billing which involves people standing in a queue and scanning each item of every customer with the help of a barcode scanner is time consuming. Every item has to be brought in the line of sight of the barcode scanner. There are times when the cashier has to enter the barcode number manually due to an error in scanning. Following such an approach results in long queues at the billing counters which discomforts the customers. This work presents an idea to develop a system in shopping malls to overcome the above problem. In order to achieve this ,we have implemented an application that assists every customer and a server side website to assist the retailers. This approach will benefit each and every individual especially the disabled and senior citizens. By using this approach, a lot of time and man power can be saved.
