The project is about integrating the SMS function with a website based system. The idea for the project started by identifying the problems that always faced by students in University Technology ofPETRONAS when receiving parcels. Usually the parcels will be sent straight to UTP by the courier service provider like Pos Laju, DHL, FedEx and etc. the parcels then will be kept in the main office where every parcel information will be recorded. Parcels for students will be sent to Lembaran Residential Office for them to be collected by the recipients. The problem comes up when students need to check the list of recipient's names on the board in front of Lembaran Residential Office. The objective of this project is to provide an integrated system for admin and general users which are staffs and students. It makes the work of checking on their parcels arrival easier and faster. Furthermore, it will eliminate the need to re-type the parcels information, first in the main office and second in Lembaran Residential Office. One more major function is to include the SMS functionality in order to alert the recipients. It enable user to receive the news on their parcel arrival on time. The methodology used is waterfall model. The system has been developed based on the six step of system development life cycle those are planning, analysis, design, develop, integration and test, and lastly operation and maintenance. If one stage fails then it will be go back to previous stage. The end of the project it hope that the objective will be achieved whereas the system can view the record of general user online from their PC, while admin may use admin privileges on the information and also may use the SMS functionality.
