The Loot Bag Company was started last February 22, 2008. It is located at Velez Street
Cagayan de Oro City in front of the City Central School. It was established by Ms. Ivy Pacturan.

business had a good demand to the public so she decided to formalize her business and her
siblings supported it. Most of her products are school supplies, Accessories, Stuffed toys, Give a
ways, Tarpaulin, Invitation cards, Bags, Candies, Chocolates, Party needs and many others.

2. 1.1 Statement of the Problem
An Online Ordering and Reservation service is a system in which people can access lots
of information, order and reserve a certain product, search for accommodation and register
through online.
But before the advancement of technology occur; dissemination of information is done
through paper based and the mouth of a satisfied costumer. From that disadvantage it leads to
develop the new technology that can order online and store information.
The main problem of the company, Loot Bag is their means of selling product and
introducing their business to the public. People from different places are having hard time in
determining the companyâs information because of the absence of technology. Besides, citizens
are not so familiar with the company due to lack of information, people are only able to
acknowledge the company if someone relay it. In case of promos, people wonât look up
automatically to the Loot Bag because they donât have enough knowledge that such company
exists. In reserving and ordering of a certain product the client canât accommodate their wants
because the customer notifies the client in just a short period of time. In terms of product
monitoring the business encounters problem in monitoring because they have to monitor it
manually.
General Problem
The LOOT BAG Company doesnât have an Online Information System thatâs why itâs
hard for them to inform and notify the public that the business exists. People are clueless what
kind of products they are selling. When they heard the name LOOT BAG they would probably
think that the business is more on bag, well in fact it is not.
Specific Problem
Lack of information dissemination
o Most people here in Cagayan de oro city are not aware that this kind of business exists.
For the reason that the dissemination of the information are only limited. They once put
an advertisement in the newspaper but still thatâs not enough to spread the news about
3. their business, not all of us read newspapers. Thatâs why their business is not that popular
to the public.
Short notice for the product need to be reserved
o Sometimes the customersâ reserves a certain product in just a short period of time the
business encounter problem in assisting the customersâ reservation because they cannot
easily identify which product is available or not.
Time consuming in products monitoring
o In terms of products monitoring, they have hard time in checking the condition of the
certain product and it consumes a lot of time to finish the monitoring process.
