Using these conventional moods of operation may pose delay in the administrative system, where issues such as an instant retrieval of visitors(clients) information as with regards to  tracking our clients either for promotions, advertisement, or shared company interest may pose little delay. But this research work provides basic visitors(clients) system where clients information are stored on visit to the company aiding proper storage and maintenance of client. Staff performance record are being access by the administration since every client is tag to a staff on visit to the company.

1.3   AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

The sole objective of this research is to provide adequate assessment of staff base on the amount of visitor(client) and their reason. Also keeping track of visitors(clients)information for easy communication.

Research is based on the current trend ongoing in offices I have visited,where I have to filled my details on a visitor book manually. These book is later stored on a file cabinet. Retrieving of visitor information from these book is done manually by going through the pages of these book one after the other. The new system that is to be developed is handle visitor record in view to access staff performance work ratio and providing easy and reliable storage medium.

1.5  SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY

The scope of this research is to design and implement a visitor system that model an organization structure by registering staff into the system, and collect visitors information on visit.
