Management Portal & Maintenance System

The project presented several technical and operational challenges, including:

• Project Complexity: The scope of the project covered multiple phases, including construction monitoring and facility maintenance, each with its own set of requirements. The challenge was to fully understand and implement these requirements, given the long-term nature of the construction field.
• Asset Location Tracking: Machines and workers often operate underground, requiring the use of RFID tags to manage the location of machines and equipment in real-time, adding complexity to the tracking system.
• Technology Integration: The project involved integrating multiple technologies, including MS .Net, open-source tools, and geographic information systems (GIS) using Geoserver, which required seamless coordination between various technology stacks.

• Environment Management: The system had to be deployed across multiple working environments—production, staging, customer testing, and development testing—which added to the complexity of ensuring smooth transitions and data consistency across these environments.
  
  

BHSoft’s team adopted an agile and communicative approach to overcome these challenges and meet the client’s needs:

• Clear Communication: We focused on establishing effective and transparent communication with the client, ensuring regular updates and feedback throughout the project.
• Document Management System: The portal was developed to manage the complete lifecycle of documents, including contracts and task-related documents, allowing easy sharing, updating, and tracking. Integration with the front-end interface ensured seamless user interaction.
• Task Scheduling and Monitoring: The system enabled workers and supervisors to create, track, and manage tasks, with the flexibility to import task data from Excel or templates, streamlining the scheduling and monitoring process.
• RFID Integration: To track equipment and workers, we integrated RFID technology, enabling real-time location tracking of machines and workers operating underground. This was essential for ensuring accurate data collection and task management.
• Maintenance Planning: The maintenance module was designed to allow facility managers to plan, schedule, and monitor maintenance work, ensuring timely execution and user notifications for any updates or changes to maintenance schedules.

• Environment Management: The development team used Git repositories for version control and ensured the platform could be deployed across multiple environments. Regular testing across production, staging, and customer testing environments guaranteed the reliability and performance of the system.

The system successfully met the client’s needs by providing a scalable, user-friendly solution for managing construction project tasks, document lifecycles, and facility maintenance planning. Here are some key outcome for our client:

• • Efficient Document Management: The portal provided users with a streamlined process for managing and tracking the lifecycle of documents, enhancing collaboration and reducing delays.
• • Improved Task Monitoring: The system enabled workers and supervisors to efficiently manage scheduled tasks, reducing the time spent on manual tracking and improving task completion rates.
• • Real-Time Asset Tracking: The integration of RFID technology allowed for accurate tracking of assets, ensuring operational efficiency, especially in environments where workers and machines operate underground.
• • Seamless Maintenance Planning: The maintenance module allowed facility managers to effectively plan, schedule, and monitor maintenance work, ensuring optimal asset performance and reducing downtime.
• • Enhanced User Communication: The notification system ensured that all stakeholders were promptly informed of document updates, task progress, and maintenance changes, improving overall workflow efficiency.
