Interview method has been applied for requirement gathering analysis. All requirements have been classified into functional and non-functional requirements and then depicted in the form of Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams for development purposes. Prototype has been developed using Adobe PhoneGap that allows the developed prototype to be accessed via Web platform. Functionality test was conducted where it was found that 60 rated good and 80 functionality success for both tests respectively. All recommendations and improvements about the prototype are recorded for future reference and alteration. © 2016 IEEE.
