Abstract

The Philippines faces challenges in accessing clean water, leading to a growing demand for water refilling stations. This surge in popularity has intensified competition, prompting business owners to employ various strategies for success. Recognizing the need for effective management systems in this era, researchers developed a water refilling management system to assist businesses, focusing on Far East Water Station owned by Ma'am Emma Mercado in Madpdap, Mabalacat City, Pampanga. Selected for its prominence and clientele, including major companies like SMDC and Tipco, this water station posed as a representative case. The Modified Waterfall Model methodology guided the application development, executed using PC and software tools such as Visual Basic, MySQL Workbench, Crystal Report, and Photoshop. Design and analysis tools included ERD, VTOC, and Use Case Diagrams, while Likert Scale, based on ISO 25010 criteria, serve as the statistical formula in the survey questionnaires. Alpha and beta tests resulted in scores of 3.76 and 4.2, respectively, with an overall mean score of 4, indicating positive reception and effectiveness. The developed management system offers a solution for water refilling stations to streamline operations, manage data efficiently, and thrive in a competitive market.
