Building a standard Supermarket management system was not an easy task looking at the problems of existing manual system The factors for these difficulties are: 1. Time Consumption: Manual systems are time consuming, as the business owner must keep track of Supermarket sales on a daily basis, while updating the system manually at the end of the day.
Poor Communication: A manual Supermarket system requires employees and managers to write down each time an item is removed from the Supermarket. If one employee forgets to mention that the last coffee product has been removed from the Supermarket, a manager expects the item to still be available for a customer during a sale. Compared with a technical Supermarket system, a manual Supermarket system does not help the communication in the workplace. Physical Counts: A manual Supermarket system does not provide any number, as all numbers from the Supermarket are gained through physical Supermarket counts.
This is time consuming and can cost the business money, if employees must come in to help out outside of business hours. Daily Purchases: Keeping track of daily purchases is another difficult controlling measure with manual Supermarket systems. A manual Supermarket system requires the employees to write down the items sold during a single work day.

The concept of an inexpensive food market relying on large economies of scale was developed by Vincent Astor. The expectation was that customers would come from great distances "miles around" , but in the end even attracting people from ten blocks away was difficult, and the market folded in The concept of a super market was developed by entrepreneur Clarence Saunders and his Piggly Wigglystores.
His first store opened in Saunders was awarded a number of patents for the ideas he incorporated into his stores. The stores were a financial success and Saunders began to offer franchises.
Although there is a higher risk of shoplifting, the costs of appropriate security measures ideally will be outweighed by reduced labor cost.
Historically, there was debate about the origin of the supermarket, with King Kullen and Ralphs of California having strong claims. To end the debate, the Food Marketing Institute in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution and with funding from H.
Heinz, researched the issue. It defined the attributes of a supermarket as "self-service, separate product departments, discount pricing, marketing and volume selling. The store, King Kullen, inspired by the fictional character King Kong , operated under the slogan "Pile it high.
Sell it low. Although Saunders had brought the world self-service, uniform stores and nationwide marketing, Cullen built on this idea by adding separate food departments, selling large volumes of food at discount prices and adding a parking lot. Other established American grocery chains in the s, such as Kroger and Safeway at first resisted Cullen's idea, but eventually were forced to build their own supermarkets as the economy sank into the Great Depression, while consumers were becoming price-sensitive at a level never experienced before.
Kroger took the idea one step further and pioneered the first supermarket surrounded on all four sides by a parking lot. Supermarkets proliferated across Canada and the United States with the growth of automobile ownership and suburban development after World War II. They are generally regional rather than national in their company branding. In Canada, the largest such chain is Loblaw, which operates stores under a variety of regional names, including Fortinos, Zehrs, No Frills, the Real Canadian Superstore, and the largest, Loblaws, named after the company itself.
Sobeys is Canada's second largest supermarket with locations across the country, operating under many banners Sobeys IGA in Quebec. In the United Kingdom, self-service shopping took longer to become established. Even in , there were just ten self-service shops in the country.
In , ex-US Navy sailor Patrick Galvani, son-in-law of Express Dairies chairman, made a pitch to the board to open a chain of supermarkets across the country. The UK's first supermarket under the new Premier Supermarkets brand opened in Streatham, South London, taking ten times as much per week as the average British general store of the time. Other chains caught on, and after Galvani lost out to Tesco's Jack Cohen in to buy the Irwin's chain, the sector underwent a large amount of consolidation, resulting in 'the big four' dominant UK retailers of today: Tesco, Asda owned by Wal-Mart , Sainsbury's and Morrisons.
In the s, supermarkets frequently issued trading stamps as incentives to customers. Today, most chains issue store-specific "membership cards," "club cards," or "loyalty cards". These typically enable the card holder to receive special members- only discounts on certain items when the credit card-like device is scanned at check- out. Sales of selected data generated by club cards is becoming a significant revenue stream for some supermarkets.
Nomenclature is not always uniform Financial Institutions Fund places Wal-Mart in the same category as supermarkets, but accounting for only the supercenter's grocery division. The Food Marketing Institute classifies superstores as a large type of supermarket, while designating warehouse stores as grocery stores.
Grocery Store:A grocery store is a retail store that primarily sells food. A grocer is a bulk seller of food. Grocery stores often offer non-perishable food, with some also having fresh produce, butchers, delis, and bakeries. Large grocery stores that stock significant amounts of non-food products, such as clothing and household items, are called supermarkets. Some large supermarkets also include a pharmacy and an electronics section, the latter selling DVDs, headphones, digital alarm clocks, and similar items.
Grocery stores operate in many different styles ranging from rural family-owned operations, such as IGAs, boutique chains, such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's to larger supermarket chain stores. In some places, food cooperatives or "co-op" markets, owned by their own shoppers, have been popular.
However, there has recently been a trend towards larger stores serving larger geographic areas. Hypermarket: Is an advanced supermarket which has an additional department store. The result is an expansiveretail facility carrying a wide range of products under one roof, including full groceries lines and general merchandise. In theory, hypermarkets allow customers to satisfy all their routine shopping needs in one trip.
After the successes of super-markets and hyper-markets and amid fears that smaller stores would be forced out of business, franchise laws that made it more difficult to build hypermarkets and also restricted the amount of economic leverage that hypermarket chains can impose upon their suppliers. In France, hypermarkets are generally situated in shopping centers French: centre commercial or centre d'achats outside of cities, though some are present in the city center.
They are surrounded by extensive car parking facilities, and generally by other specialized superstores that sell clothing, sports gear, automotive items, etc. The term sometimes also refers, by extension, to the company that operates the store. The store may sell general dry goods,it is generally inaccessible to pedestrians and often can only be reached by motor vehicles, the big-box store is regarded as unsustainable and a failure of urban planning.
Some conservatives worry about the economic impact of big-box retailers on established downtown merchants or the sprawl-inducing impacts on the character of such developments, as these stores are often associated with heavy traffic in the areas around the store locations. Some communities have adopted a higher level of architectural treatment and regulations to ensure that the superstores relate better to their environs and neighbors. Many regulate signage and landscaping.
There are also concerns surrounding traffic and roads. The increased traffic leads to more air pollution in an area and higher taxes in order to maintain the roads.
Over the past decade or so, supermarkets and other grocery retailers have continued to invest significantly into broadening their Internet presence and expanding the number of channels through which their goods are sold. One of the major trends to have driven growth within the Internet grocery market is m-commerce that is sales made via mobile channels, i. The increasing popularity of smart phones and tablets among consumers has resulted in a whole host of retailers investing significant sums of money into mobile sales platforms, as well as downloadable applications apps' , which offer a more interactive and personalized shopping experience.
