The administrator can accept or deny the information provided by the user plus group. The system is developed in accordance with the stages of system/development life cycle (SDLC) through waterfall method. The stages are: analyzing stage to learn the functional and non functional system needs; designing system to design the physical system, logic and interface ; implementing stage that cover the implementing the programming language – Java , and android operating system; assessing stage to assess the system through Black Box testing and; maintaining stage to maintain the system. The assessment result indicates that the system works well; every button designed can function as expected. The test by users also shows that they get the easy access to the information. The users can easily understand the operating manual of the system as it is user frendly and equippped with product pictures visualization.
