Challenge
Receipts created by our customer’s team at work sites were saved and processed at the head office using
Excel spreadsheets. This process was unwieldy, time consuming and caused latent errors. It became
necessary to speed up data input, improve its accuracy, and make it available to the company’s offices
all over the country.
Solution
Delivered a custom software solution in .NET Technology, that integrates tools to calculate expenses
for materials and labor, generate invoices and payrolls, and track work and payment status. Previously,
our customer had a brief functionality description. It was critical to create a convenient interface
to reduce the learning curve and workload for employees. Our .Net programmers started implementation from
compiling a list of detailed software requirements through online communication with our customer.
We discovered that the construction company processes various document types and employs complicated
workflow procedures. The developed software now integrates all these procedures:
|
|
Field Ticket management: creation of receipts, processing and approval;
Purchase order management: purchasing materials for the specified order;
Invoice accounting: calculation of expenditures, invoicing, and payment tracking for each job;
Reporting System: over 30 complex reports for viewing and printing, including Accounts Receivable, Payroll and Invoices Outstanding;
Web Client Center: web access to invoices outstanding and completed work on each job site;
System Administration: management of employee data, application access permission, job codes, customer contact information, etc.
|
A logical navigation-through-application functionality was developed to smoothly perform all required workflow
operations. MS .Net and Crystal Reports, selected for the project by our .Net technologists, helped create a
convenient and pleasing application interface at minimum cost.
The most critical requirement was to bind all our customer’s offices into one well-organized system. Our
customer’s service crews and managers travel from one office to another and require access to their own data
from any of them. Our team designed the software system as a .Net distributed application that can be accessed
from any office, thus increasing staff mobility.
