“Rolance” A Web-Based Platform Connecting Local Printing Shops with Customers for Customized Print Solutions

Abstract

This paper introduces Rolance, a web-based marketplace platform that bridges the gap between local printing shops and customers, enabling personalized and costeffective print-on-demand services. Unlike global platforms that prioritize local printing shops to provide their services to mass customer base locally. Rolance integrates local businesses, reducing shipping costs and delivery times while supporting small-scale entrepreneurs. Another specialty is there are two options to customer as sell their own design publicly through is platform or use their designs to personal scenarios. So, there is an opportunity for customers to earn extra income by selling their designs online. If customers need to print their design for their personal purpose, users can directly connect with local printing shops and place order online. This system has three types of user roles those are admin, customer and shop owner. As an extra feature there is a design canvas that allows us to make designs though the platform while collaborating with others by giving permissions to join the designing process for selected users. Each role has a separate dashboard with role specific set of operations. System testing was done by using Google lighthouse, Semgrap, Trivy, user feedback and manually testing through test case report to ensure system met required performances, security strands and system functional requirements and objectives. The final deployed system successfully met all system objectives while ensuring system useability, scalability, maintainability and performance.
