Case study: Truck-log management dashboard

Background

Our client is a construction company that provides a wide range of services including site excavation, material transportation and management. To align with regulatory standards and enhance operational efficiency, the client sought the development of a web-based control panel. This system aims to meticulously record and manage their day-to-day operations, providing a streamlined solution to meet regulatory requirements.

Challenge

•Time sensitive. The application needs to be up and running in a few months to meet the regulatory mandate.

•Complexity of requirements. The intricate nature of our client's services and the diverse range of materials they track pose a considerable challenge to the accuracy of the initial assessment. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of their daily operations necessitates adaptability to changes in requirements.

•Syncing with the client application. The administrative portal is designed not only to ensure timely synchronization of all data but also to facilitate prompt communication with end-users. This ensures that the operational activities conducted on the admin portal are swiftly communicated to and reflected in the client's mobile applications, fostering a cohesive and responsive system.
