Tablet computers are light and easy to carry; they have increasingly diverse uses. People no longer use tablet computers just for the internet and entertainment, but have also started to use them for work and academics.Although there are currently many apps in the App Store, not many comprehensive systems are applied to corporations. The functions most commonly utilized by corporations are still presenting data and searches; after all, operations on desktop computers and tablet devices are very different.This study focuses on the iPad, using Apple’s development tool Xcode to create a purchasing, sales, and inventory management system. The functions of the system include management of products, clients, suppliers, orders and returns, sales and returns, payables and receivables, as well as various types of statistical charts. Small companies or stores can use this system to manage day to day purchases and sales, as well as receivables and payables, ensuring that users have better experiences using tablets, and that the iPad in particular can be more practically applied.
