Chinese herbal medicine plays an important role in the global medical field, especially in Asia. With the development of modern science and technology, the Chinese herbal medicine industry is facing the challenges and opportunities of transformation, and it is urgent to improve efficiency and optimize management through modern information technology means. At present, Chinese herbal medicine enterprises often have information island phenomenon in resource management, inventory control, sales process, etc., which leads to low management efficiency and insufficient supply chain transparency. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to develop a Chinese herbal medicine management system.

1.2 Problem identification

At present, the main problems facing the management of Chinese herbal medicine include:

decentralized management: the information, procurement, inventory and sales management of medicinal materials are scattered in different systems, and lack of effective integration.

Data update lag: Manual updates of information lead to longer processing times, increasing the probability of errors.

 Lack of interactivity: Existing systems lack the ability to interact with users and provide personalized services.

1.3 Customer objective

Suppose that the goal of the potential customer is to achieve through the Chinese herbal Medicine management system:

to improve the accessibility of Chinese herbal medicine management on the Internet. Create features that enhance user interaction and provide a more personalized and user-friendly experience than existing systems. Simplify the process for administrators in creating and updating project and result information.

1.4 Project objective

Given the identified issues and customer objectives, the main aim of the project was to develop an interactive management system for the Chinese herbal medicine business, minimizing the need for manual management inputs. In order to achieve this, the following objectives were set:

to investigate the current Chinese herbal medicine management system and analyze the key characteristics used to create the user experience. Create a set of requirements based on the research results to meet the set customer goals.

Research and analyze development technologies that are best suited to meet these requirements. Develop applications using selected technologies while strictly adhering to the project management methodology.

Analysis and Investigation It is important to find out the needs of the on-site customers by means of a questionnaire survey to ensure that the project contains all the functions required for the Chinese herbal medicine management system. Through the analysis of the existing Chinese herbal medicine management system, the aim is to form a demand base for the project.

2.1 Product domain analysis

In the absence of an actual client, it is essential to ensure an in-depth understanding and functional analysis of the current TCM management system domain to help keep expectations high while ensuring that the project scope is not too large. Failure at this stage may result in setting unrealistic requirements.
