A project submitted to the department of Computer Science Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria In partial Fulfillment for the award of Bachelor of Science Computer Science.
The "Design and Implementation of a Generic Web-Based Invoicing and Zakat Tracking System" project addresses the dual challenge faced by small-scale businesses - efficient financial management and religious compliance, particularly in zakat calculation. This project creates a versatile web-based system that empowers users to manage their financial operations seamlessly while adhering to religious obligations. It explores the project's rationale, objectives, scope, and leverages a thorough review of existing literature and systems to establish a robust foundation. The methodology emphasizes system design, technical architecture, and Agile methodologies, resulting in a technically sound structure. A client-server architecture, component breakdown, and use case diagrams form the core of the system's design, brought to life using React and Google Firestore. This project successfully harmonizes user-centric design, technical excellence, and religious adherence to provide a comprehensive solution for users of diverse backgrounds. The project not only met its objectives but also raised the bar for future endeavours. The recommendations extend an invitation to further development, integration, and exploration, while the suggestions for further research beckon the curious minds to explore the ever-evolving intersections of technology, finance, and faith.
