Service Company. The main objective for computerizing the processes
of the company would be to minimize massive paperwork that is

such a system (manual).

This project will consist of a database with Twelve (12) entities

namely: Cars, Hires, Clients, Car Owners, Car Classes, Hire Rates,
Drivers, Inventory Forms, Car Expenses, Receivables, Car Owner
Payments, and Employees.

The database used in this project is MySQL Version 5.0. The entities’
designs are as follows:
