Tiivistelmä
A young entrepreneur is planning to open an online apparel store. In the Asian immigrants’ community in Finland, ceremonial clothes are an important part of any celebration. However, there are no such clothes shops in Finland where to buy these clothes. The demand for these ceremonial clothes is increasing due to the increasing number of Asian immigrants and the growing interest of the local people in these garments. This thesis project covers the preliminary steps as for starting an online business dealing in ceremonial clothing.
The main objective of this thesis was to develop an brief business plan excluding the finanacial plan for this startup business and based on this business plan, to develop an online shop system. Due to the time constraint and the extensive size of the online shop application, releasing any prototype was not in the scope of this thesis.
The study defined the business environment, stakeholders and different business processes required for this clothing business. During the online store development, the study focused on defining the use cases, requirement specifications, interviewing customers, designing, and implementing some user stories. In addition, the general features of ASP.NET MVC Framework and Razor view engine and other technical issues were included in the technical background part.
The main outcome of this thesis was that the author got a good understanding about his startup clothing business and user requirement specifications and the development version of the online store. The thesis introduced a business plan and the requirement specifications and design documents, the implementation plan and the current version of the application to continue the development.
Those who want to open an online clothing business and also developers who want to develop an online store for a clothing business may find this thesis useful and practical reading.
