- Technical Paper: Final Project PlanDue
Week 10 and worth 200 pointsEspecially for You Jewelers is a small
jewelry company in a college town. Over the last couple of years, it has
experienced a tremendous increase in its business. However, its
financial performance has not kept pace with its growth. The current
system, which is partly manual and partly automated, doesn’t track
accounts receivables sufficiently, and the company is finding it
difficult to determine the reasons why thttp://researchwritersite.blogspot.co.ke/2017/09/read-finkelman-2016-chapter-13.htmlhttp://researchwritersite.blogspot.co.ke/2017/09/read-finkelman-2016-chapter-13.htmle receivables are so high. The
company runs frequent specials to attract customers but has no idea
whether these efforts are profitable or if the benefit—if there is
one—comes from associated sales. Especially for You Jewelers wants to
increase repeat sales to its existing customers; thus, it needs to
develop a customer database. It also wants to install a new direct sales
and accounting system to help solve the outlined problems.The new
direct sales and accounting system for Especially for You Jewelers will
be an important element in the growth and success of the jewelry
company. The direct sales portion must track every sale, be able to link
to the inventory system for cost data, and provide a daily profit and
loss report. The customer database must be able to produce purchase
histories to assist management in preparing special mailings and special
sales to existing customers. Detailed credit balances and aged accounts
for each customer would help to solve the problem with the high balance
of accounts receivables. Special notice letters and credit history
reports would help management reduce accounts receivable.Write a six to
