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.
