Abstract

Information-intensive Web services such as shipping comparison sites have recently been gaining popularity. However, most users including novice shoppers have difficulty in browsing such sites because of the massive amount of information gathered and the uncertainty surrounding Web environments. The aim of this research is to design a system which is called Shohnati to perform all procedures related to the order of shipment, and to store and process all information relating to customers or shipping companies in a database. Through this research, the customers will be able to order the shipment more easily by providing a complete comparison between the shipping companies, request the shipment from the preferred company's site, follow the shipment, and follow the latest offers of companies on our site. The proposed system was developed using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Visual Studio-ASP.NET programming language.
